Hyperbaric oxygenation

Oxygen is a necessary component of all biological fluids of the human body and participates in most metabolic processes. Hyperbaric oxygenation is based on the use of this gas under high pressure for physiotherapeutic treatment procedures.

Session of hyperbaric oxygenation

Cells in the body are saturated with oxygen through blood flow. In the normal state of the vessels, the tissues receive a sufficient amount of gas and are capable of independent regeneration. If there are any disorders in the form of thrombi or puffiness, oxygen starvation (hypoxia) develops, which aggravates the course of chronic diseases and leads to accelerated death of cells and tissues.

The method of hyperbaric oxygenation is based on supersaturation of blood with oxygen by increasing pressure in a confined space. Due to this effect, blood is significantly enriched with gas and simultaneously begins to circulate much faster. This facilitates the accelerated transport of oxygen to the cells, replenishment of its deficiency and the restoration of tissues.

Hyperbaric oxygenation is performed in a pressure chamber, where excess atmospheric pressure of the required magnitude is artificially created and air, saturated with oxygen, is supplied in parallel. Typically, the session lasts only a few minutes.

It is worth noting that the course of hyperbaric oxygenation usually amounts to 7 procedures with an interval of 1-2 days. In some cases, longer treatment may be required, but not longer than 2 weeks.

Indications and contraindications for hyperbaric oxygenation

The range of diseases in which the procedure is recommended:

• chronic fatigue ;
• disorders of cerebral circulation;
• encephalopathy;
• osteochondrosis;
• encephalitis;
• neuralgia;
• Raynaud's disease;
• diabetes;
• hepatitis;
• pancreatitis;
• cirrhosis of the liver;
• parodontosis;
• Meniere's syndrome;
• vasculitis;
• rheumatoid arthritis;
• psoriasis;
• chronic pyelonephritis;
• endometriosis;
• adnexitis;
• ulcer of duodenum;
• varicosity;
• vestibulopathy;
• psoriasis;
• furunculosis .

Moreover, the action of oxygen has a very powerful cosmetic rejuvenating effect, because it triggers the regeneration of skin cells. Therefore, oxygenation is also often used for rehabilitation after plastic surgery.

Contraindications:

• cavities in the lumen of the lungs;
• epilepsy;
• claustrophobia;
• hypertension;
• polyps in the sinuses of the nose, middle ear;
• - hypersensitivity to oxygen.
