In the quest for optimal health and recovery, modern medicine continues to uncover innovative treatments that enhance the body’s natural healing processes. One such groundbreaking therapy is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)—a non-invasive treatment that harnesses the power of oxygen to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and promote overall wellness.
At Prime Wellness in Woodland Hills, CA, we are proud to offer Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy as part of our comprehensive approach to health and rejuvenation. Whether you are looking to speed up recovery from an injury, improve cognitive function, or support your overall well-being, HBOT can be a powerful addition to your health regimen.
What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves breathing in 100% pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. Under normal conditions, oxygen is transported throughout the body by red blood cells. However, in a hyperbaric environment, oxygen dissolves into the plasma, lymphatic system, and other bodily fluids, reaching areas with limited blood flow. This enhanced oxygen delivery supports the body’s ability to heal from injuries, fight infections, and improve cellular function.
During an HBOT session, the pressure in the chamber is increased to 1.3 to 3 times the normal atmospheric pressure, allowing oxygen to penetrate deeper into tissues and stimulate healing at a cellular level.
Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
