Sit back, relax, and breathe with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is an all-natural, non-invasive treatment where a patient simply breathes 100% medical-grade oxygen at an increased atmospheric pressure. HBOT can increase the oxygen concentration in the body by up to 1,200% —this gives it the potential to lead to extraordinary health benefits.

HBOT provides the body with a greater opportunity for healing by:

Increased blood flow
Encouragement of body tissue regeneration
Decreased inflammation and inflammatory proteins

Aiding in fighting infection
Revitalized mitochondria
Killing of anaerobic bacteria in oxygenated environments
Enhancement of the body’s natural ability to heal
