ARTHRITIS & HYPERBARICS

Recent studies are showing that HBOT has demonstrated the ability to substantially reduce inflammation throughout the body. This is done through the higher levels of oxygen being driven through the plasma.

ARTHRITIS + HYPERBARICS

Inflammation is a natural response that occurs in the body as a result of injury, illness, or stress. It is a common feature across a wide range of health conditions and is present in nearly all types of physical trauma. While occasional inflammation is something most people experience, persistent or chronic inflammation can have a broader impact on overall health and recovery.

Recent research suggests that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) may play a role in reducing inflammation throughout the body. This effect is believed to occur as elevated levels of oxygen are delivered directly through the blood plasma under pressurized conditions, enhancing the body’s natural response to inflammation.

​

In the context of arthritis, HBOT is being explored as a supportive approach that may help increase oxygen circulation, promote tissue repair, and ease discomfort. While more studies are needed, early findings indicate potential for helping manage symptoms and supporting joint health over time.

HOW HBOT CAN HELP

Support Anti-Inflammatory Process at the Cellular Level With HBOT:

  • Decreases acute/chronic inflammation

  • Minimizes pain and discomfort

  • Reduces swelling

  • Induces fibroblast activation

  • Increases anti-inflammatory cytokines

Reduce Neuroinflammation With HBOT:

  • Ameliorates autism symptoms

  • Reduces risk of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease

  • Supports the prevention and treatment of stroke

Decrease Gastrointestinal Inflammation With HBOT:

  • Remediates inflammatory bowel disease

  • Improves nutrition absorption

  • Ameliorates ulcerative colitis

Relieve Soft Tissue/Joint Inflammation With HBOT:

  • Remediates osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis

  • Ameliorates tendinitis

  • Accelerates recovery from sports-related and high-impact injuries

Prevent the Onset of Chronic Inflammatory-Related Diseases With HBOT:

  • Attenuates cancer risk and progression

  • ​Ameliorates diabetic conditions linked to inflammation

  • Reduces risk of atherosclerosis, heart attacks, and strokes
