Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Reduces Fatigue in Olympic Athletes

Hyperbaric oxygen as an adjuvant for athletes HBO treatment has effectively increased recovery from fatigue. This was clearly seen at the Nagano Winter Olympics, where sports players experiencing fatigue were successfully treated, enabling the players to continue performing in the games. My 2 Cents: I am currently training for several long mileage events in 2020 including (4) 100+mile

How Hyperbaric Chamber Therapy helps with Strokes

HBOT AND STROKE RECOVERY In order to understand how and why hyperbaric oxygen (oxygen under pressure) can help a patient recovering from a stroke it helps to first understand how hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) works. If you have not read the blog post titled “HBOT: How Does It Work?” please refer to that before you

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Relieves Migraine Headaches

A preliminary report on hyperbaric oxygen in the relief of migraine headache Department of Oral Medicine and Pathology, University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine, PA 15261, USA. Conclusion: The results suggest that hyperbaric (but not normobaric) oxygen may be useful in the abortive management of migraine headache. Possibilities for the mechanism of this effect,

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is Beneficial for Fracture Healing

Hyperbaric Hyperoxia Accelerates Fracture Healing in Mice In conclusion, this study indicates that HBO treatment increases MAR and BRF in vivo. Furthermore, we demonstrated that HBO treatment histologically and biomechanically accelerates fracture healing in vivo without disrupting calcium homeostasis and causing abnormal DNA oxidative damage. We found that a unilateral fracture impaired the biomechanical strength

How Hyperbaric Chamber Therapy Works

HBOT: HOW DOES IT WORK? Everyone knows we need oxygen for our survival. It is a critical nutrient for our cells in order to function and produce energy. So what is the difference between the air you and I we breathe, using medical grade green tank oxygen and using hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)? The air

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Cluster Headache

Conclusion: The present findings clearly indicate that hyperbaric oxygen has not only a symptomatic effect on a single attack of cluster headache, but it also could prevent the occurrence of subsequent attacks. My 2 Cents: Your headaches are not due to a lack of Tylenol and/or Advil https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8455970

Shoulder Pain? Maybe its not the Shoulder…

Scapular instability or poor scapular control will often lead to shoulder pain and are often associated with impingement syndrome as well. Like any stability muscles in the body, e.g. the Transversus Abdominus in lower back, Vastus Medialis Oblique (VMO) in the knee or the rotator cuff in the shoulder, once there is pain or dysfunction,

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Can Repair Chronically Impaired Brain Function

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Can Improve Post Concussion Syndrome Years after Mild Traumatic Brain Injury – Randomized Prospective Trial Conclusion: HBOT can induce neuroplasticity leading to repair of chronically impaired brain functions and improved quality of life in mTBI patients with prolonged PCS at late chronic stage. My 2 Cents: I have been fortunate enough to

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Reduces the Breakdown of Vertebral Discs and Decreases Inflammation

This study found on WebMD demonstrates that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) reduces the breakdown of spinal discs and also reduces inflammation which is the main cause of pain with disc herniations and disc bulges. Conclusion: These results support our hypothesis that HBOT treatment suppresses MAPK signaling and mitochondrial apoptotic pathway in degenerated human intervertebral disc

Case Study: Lyme Disease & Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

CASE STUDY: In April 2003, our patient was a 31-year-old healthy man who worked in the financial industry and lived in Taipei City, who began suffering from intermittent low- and high-grade fever. These symptoms were accompanied by fatigue and multiple bone pain, especially in the sternum, ribs, and lower back, which made it difficult for
