Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) administers pure oxygen within a pressurized chamber, facilitating enhanced oxygen absorption throughout the body. This process saturates the blood plasma with oxygen, leading to unique healing benefits not achievable through other methods. As oxygen-rich blood circulates, it combats bacteria, triggers the release of growth factors and stem cells, and accelerates healing processes.
HBOT has demonstrated efficacy in medical contexts, addressing conditions such as decompression sickness, severe infections, and non-healing wounds. Furthermore, it aids in the recovery process for various ailments, including sports injuries, Lyme disease, diabetic ulcers, and head injuries.
The initial experience is a bit like being in an airplane (more like first-class than economy, we like to think). Just like with take-off, when the body is adjusting to changes in pressure, in the chamber, you’ll experience a similar pressure in the ears that will clear up relatively quickly.
"I had COVID in October 2022, then followed by the worst flu I ever had in December. I couldn’t shake the fatigue or the brain fog. I was dragging, no energy, and had so much difficulty remembering things and organizing my thoughts. Finally in 2023 I tried the hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatment at Coastside Family Wellness as a last ditch effort. My symptoms were worrisome and were not going away. I had nothing to lose. It was a relaxing session and my brain fog lifted after the treatment, I finally started getting better. I’ve recommended the hyperbaric treatment to others who had lingering symptoms of Covid and flu and they’ve had similar results. I am so grateful this treatment was available and affordable."
