Benefits of HBOT

The average adult consumes almost six pounds of oxygen daily, so as early as the 17th century doctors began to recognize the potential benefits of oxygen therapy. Unlike oxygen breathed at normal pressure, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can increase the amount of oxygen in the body.

Accelerates the healing of problem wounds, serious infections, and oxygen robbing poisons.
Improves quality of life with a less painful and faster recovery time.
Reduces the length of hospital visits.
Decreases cost of health care for patients and insurance companies.
