What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?
HBOT is a medical treatment that delivers 100% oxygen to a person within a pressurized chamber.
Each hyperbaric oxygen treatment is called a "dive". During a treatment - oxygen, under pressure, fills the Hyperbaric chamber, increasing the oxygen concentration within a person's body 15 to 20 times normal at the cellular level. Increased oxygen tension accelerates healing processes and aids in recovery from certain conditions and maladies.
HBOT is safe, has few side effects with practically none that persist.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has been clearly demonstrated to dramatically increase immune capabilities, assisting patients with problems ranging from chronic wounds to complex disabilities and neurological impairment.

BENEFITS of HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY
Serving all areas of the Lowcountry including
Hilton Head Island, Beaufort, South Carolina, Savannah and all of southeastern Georgia
Treatment modalities have basically remained unchanged throughout most of the preceding century. Rehabilitation time from injury has been accepted to have an intrinsically set rate. In other words, the body only heals at one speed and although comfort measures and traditional therapies can be applied, the patient must basically wait out the predetermined healing time that nature has set for us.
However, with the addition of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), the previous standard of unalterable healing time has been revolutionized. While HBOT has been used extensively by the international medical community for many years, its use is in its infancy stages, but rapidly increasing in demand, throughout the United States.
The basic principle behind Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is easy to understand – oxygen is vital to the healing process. In normal conditions, only red blood cells have the ability to carry oxygen to injured parts. By adding HBOT, oxygen is dissolved in all body fluids - such as plasma, lymph, interstitial, synovial and cerebrospinal fluid. This delivers 15 to 20 times above normal oxygen to the cells, increasing the body’s ability to create new blood vessels, build new connective tissue, and foster the growth of new cells. I have seen the impressive results when HBOT is added as an adjunct therapy and personally recommend its use as a proven and highly effective treatment modality.
A new era lies ahead with the use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. It is my sincere hope that you, too, will see the exciting prospects and benefits that surround this safe, proven treatment as Hyperbaric Therapy of the Lowcountry delivers the most current, fully computerized, cutting edge technology available in the world today.
