FIBROMYALGIA & HYPERBARICS
Hyperbaric therapy has been shown to significantly reduce systemic inflammation. By delivering elevated levels of oxygen that circulate through the plasma, HBOT can help decrease inflammation and alleviate associated pain throughout the body.
FIBROMYALGIA & HYPERBARICS
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and frequent emotional or mental distress. Individuals with fibromyalgia often experience heightened sensitivity to pain, a phenomenon known as abnormal pain perception processing. The condition affects approximately 4 million adults in the United States—roughly 2% of the adult population.
The exact cause of fibromyalgia remains unknown, but the condition can often be effectively managed through a combination of therapies. While several treatment approaches are currently in use, none are specifically approved to target the root cause of fibromyalgia. Instead, most focus on alleviating symptoms to improve quality of life.
Hyperbaric therapy has been shown to significantly reduce systemic inflammation. By delivering elevated levels of oxygen that circulate through the plasma, HBOT can help decrease inflammation and alleviate associated pain throughout the body.
