Project Description
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Sports Injuries
Injuries caused by sport-related activities are a substantial concern among players, coaches and parents alike. As inflammation and pain play primary roles with respect to recovery, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been shown to significantly reduce inflammation and ameliorate pain. Additionally, HBOT can promote fibroblast/collagen activity to accelerate and enhance healing from surgeries and wounds. New evidence supports HBOT as an adjunct and practical treatment to help moderate the effects of traumatic brain injuries and enhance SPECT imaging results. HBOT is often utilized by physicians and individuals to help reach a full recovery from high-impact insults to the body and is currently used by some of the U.S. Olympic Teams to treat sports-related injuries as a part of the official medical techniques and equipment. Studies have demonstrated the benefits of HBOT for sports-related injuries with the following:
Accelerate Recovery From Sports-Related Injuries with HBOT
- Increases Collagen Production
- Reduces Inflammation & Pain
- Faster & Better Recovery from Sprains, Tears and Bone Fractures
- Enhances Recovery from Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) and Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injuries
- Decreases Susceptibility Towards Re-injuring Target Areas
- Rapid Recovery form Concussions & Head Injuries
- Improves SPECT Imaging Results
- Stimulates Stem Cell Proliferation
Faster Recovery From Surgeries
- Increases Fibroblast Activation
- Reduces Inflammation for Optimal Pre-Op Conditions
- Reduces Risk of Infection
- Decreases Hospital Time
Amplify Recovery From Intensive Training
- Accelerates Healing from Acute Muscle Strain
- Improves Blood Flow
- Increases Energy
