Hyperbaric oxygen theraphy (hbot)
HBOT Additional Information
You may already be familiar with Hyperbaric Oxygen Chambers for treating scuba divers with the "bends". Relax. You can breathe easier. Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment is not just for scuba divers. Did you know that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has many other important medical uses?
Such uses are speeding up healing, helping problem wounds heal faster, fighting life threatening infections, saving amputations in people with circulatory problems and many more.
We will provide you with useful information about the benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, answer your questions and help you determine if Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is for you. Be sure to join our mailing list to keep informed of the latest developments in this exciting field.
IS HYPERBARIC THERAPY RIGHT FOR YOU OR A FAMILY MEMBER?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment in which a patient breathes 100% oxygen while the pressure of the treatment chamber is slowly increased above atmospheric pressure. It has been known for years that healing cannot take place without appropriate oxygen levels in the tissues. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy provides oxygen to damaged tissues and allows the body's natural healing process to take over.
In the past, medical science doubted that brain cells had the capacity to regenerate or even recover after a major insult or injury such as a stroke. This concept is no longer felt to be correct. In many instances, the circulation to an area of the brain becomes compromised, and brain tissue becomes depleted of oxygen. In a smaller central area of the stroke, brain cells die and are surrounded by a much larger area where brain cells do not function normally but are still viable and may actually recover or even return to normal. It is felt that hyperbaric oxygen has the capacity of improving brain cell function in these areas.
Similarly, hyperbaric oxygen is being used to treat children with a variety of traumatic brain injuries such as cerebral palsy. Hyperbaric oxygen is also being used to treat children diagnosed with autism.
Doctors are combining oral and intravenous chelating therapy with hyperbaric oxygen to treat this medical condition.
Adults suffering from dementia such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease have also received improvement from hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Hyperbaric oxygen has also been used in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who suffer from problems with memory and thinking, with the so-called "lupus fog."
Recent studies have suggested that a common link among children with autism is chronic inflammation of areas of the brain and intestinal tract. The anti-inflammatory effects of hyperbaric oxygen make it an attractive treatment modality for autism.
Recent studies in cardiovascular literature suggest that patients undergoing open heart surgery have better brain function if they receive hyperbaric oxygen prior to surgery.

HBOT, otherwise known as Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, is a treatment that allows a person to breathe highly concentrated oxygen while lying in a pressurized chamber. This floods their tissues with beneficial oxygen, revitalizing their cells. And the health benefits are simply amazing. HBOT is FDA-approved for 13 different medical conditions (and counting), but new research shows that this unique, painless therapy can be highly effective for treating the following conditions…
By using a unique protocol developed here at Alternative Healthcare LA for Hyperbaric Medicine, HBOT can speed up healing in patients undergoing face lifts, skin resurfacing with laser or chemical peels, tummy tucks, breast reduction and enlargement surgery and many more conditions. We have found that HBOT shortens the recuperation time by 1/3 to 1/2, reduces swelling and pain and may improve the results. Are you aware that patients come to our facility from all around the world to use our hyperbaric oxygen protocol in conjunction with their cosmetic surgery?

FDA APPROVED AND OFF-LABEL HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY (HBOT)
HBOT Additional Information
What uses of HBOT are approved by the FDA?
While there are many unapproved uses for hyperbaric oxygen therapy, there are currently 13 conditions that the FDA has approved treatment of through the use of HBOT. Here is the approved list:
- Air or gas embolism
- Carbon monoxide poisoning
- Clostridal myositis and myonecrosis (gas gangrene)
- Crush injury, compartment syndrome, and other acute traumatic ischemias
- Decompression sickness
- Enhancement of healing in selected problem wounds such as:
(Diabetically derived illness, such as diabetic foot, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy) - Exceptional blood loss (anemia)
- Intracranial abscess
- Necrotizing soft tissue infections (necrotizing fasciitis)
- Osteomyelitis (refractory)
- Delayed radiation injury (soft tissue and bony necrosis)
- Skin grafts and flaps (compromised)
- Thermal Burn
OFF-LABEL HBOT
Why is My Condition Considered Off-Label and What Does That Mean?
The term “FDA Approved” is something you may be familiar with. In contrast, a drug or treatment receives the term “Off-Label” when doctors use it to treat a condition that is not FDA approved. HBOT treatment, or hyperbaric oxygen, is only approved for 14 different medical conditions to date. However, physicians and researchers see positive results in many more conditions. Therefore, HBOT treats off-label conditions on a daily basis. This practice is not new to medicine. It would amaze you at how many conditions find relief through off-label use every day.
