HBO Indications

General information


Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a special medical treatment that has been successfully applied for decades and worldwide. In a hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber, patients inhale pure oxygen through respiratory masks at a higher than atmospheric pressure. It has been proved scientifically that the amount of oxygen dissolved in blood and lymph particularly increases throughout this form of treatment compared to any other method using oxygen.

Especially inflamed tissue that is insufficiently supplied with blood can be cured by means of this treatment which stimulates the body’s production of small blood vessels, bones and connective tissue, as well as its natural defense mechanisms. In addition, edema becomes reduced and the cells’ metabolism normalized.

These are only a few of the healing effects of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO).
