Chiropractic. HBOT delivers 100% oxygen to a patient’s pulmonary system while they are in a pressurized chamber. Basically, the patient is breathing oxygen at levels far greater than that which is found in a normal room atmosphere. HBOT has been found to stimulate oxygenation, angiogenesis (new blood cell formation), and improve and promote neurogenesis ( new nerve growth) in the brain. These mechanisms support why hyperbaric oxygen therapy offers significant benefits for restoring brain function. HBOT puts the body in a thriving state which correlates with improved healing and overall well-being.
