Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been used for decades to safely prevent a wide range of conditions from decompression sickness to pressure wounds. Other conditions prevented with hyperbaric oxygen therapy include serious infections, bubbles of air in your blood vessels, and wounds that may not heal as a result of diabetes or radiation injury.

HBOT is a process of breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized environment that is done in a hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber. The air pressure in the chamber is increased up to two times than normal air pressure. Your lungs can absorb a lot more oxygen in these circumstances than they do while inhaling pure oxygen at normal air pressure.

This extra oxygen throughout helps fight bacteria and stimulates the release of substances called growth factors and stem cells, which promote healing.
