![]() It’s the decreased inflammation, healing, as well as mental clarity that Isaiah says has kept him on track with H-bot. Essentially, that’s what hyper cold will do, but one therapy is a little more shocking to the system in my opinion, and one’s a little gentler and enjoyable.” Kurt says, “The mechanisms of hyperbaric actually create basal constriction, so the blood vessel shrinks, decreasing swelling. It’s kind of like how ice can decrease inflammation, without using ice or submerging yourself in an ice-cold bath.ĭr. So we go under pressure (in a hyperbaric chamber) where the oxygen gets dissolved into plasma and the fluid can get past those nooks and crannies and go where it needs to go. If someone has an injury or infection, an inflammatory condition - you name it - a lot of times it’s the small blood vessels that are damaged and now the red blood vessels can’t get through to deliver oxygen to then heal the tissue. In this case, oxygen dissolves into plasma and can now be escorted throughout the body and it’s not dependent on the red blood cell to escort it there. When you increase air pressure oxygen dissolves, or any gas for that matter dissolves into a liquid. ![]() “Hyperbaric in itself is just delivery of pressure, but that’s where the physics takes over. Going inside a hyperbaric chamber increases the air pressure of your environment and that’s when science takes over says Dr. To do that they will put you in a high-pressure 100% oxygen hyperbaric chamber to treat things like gangrene osteonecrosis, flesh-eating bacteria, and all that nasty stuff.” “Hospital hyperbaric, that's where they’re looking at things like a leg that is about to be amputated to see if healing can be given a boost to save the leg. Hyperbaric chambers are also common in a hospital setting to try and aid healing in extreme conditions, says Dr. Eventually, they started realizing there is more to this and we can use it as a therapy.” It’s progressed and is commonly associated with diving, and curing the bends. They started playing around with it in the 1600s. Kurt says, “Medically hyperbaric science itself has been around for a long time. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, also known as H-bot, doesn’t help you breathe better - but it’s being in the chamber of 100% oxygen that affects the oxygen in your body that is so beneficial.ĭr. You can go weeks or days without food and a few days without water, but when you talk about oxygen just hold your breath how long can you last? Kurt Perkins, DC, CCWP, CFMP is a functional medicine doctor in Colorado Springs who says of oxygen, “It’s the most essential thing. In this Your Healthy Family, we are looking at hyperbaric oxygen therapy, how it works and why it can be beneficial for a range of issues.ĭr. ![]()
