Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric Chamber

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), is a treatment that enhances the body’s natural healing processes by increasing oxygen levels in the bloodstream. This therapy has been widely used for conditions such as wound healing, decompression sickness, and other medical conditions requiring enhanced oxygenation.

A hyperbaric chamber is a sealed, pressurized environment where patients breathe pure oxygen at higher-than-normal atmospheric pressures. The increased pressure allows more oxygen to dissolve into the blood plasma, improving oxygen delivery to tissues and promoting faster healing.

What Makes Us Different?

At Colts Neck Stem Cells we use a Seated Option rather than a closed chamber to administer treatment. Experience the Future of Healing with Our Unique Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber! Unlike traditional chambers that require you to lie down in a confined space, our innovative design allows you to sit comfortably while receiving the therapeutic benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. We prioritize your comfort and well-being, making it an ideal choice for those who may feel claustrophobic. Enjoy the healing advantages of increased oxygen levels without discomfort because your comfort is our priority!

How Does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Work?

1. Increased Air Pressure – The chamber is pressurized to 1.5 to 3 times the normal atmospheric pressure.
2. Higher Oxygen Concentration – Patients breathe 100% oxygen, significantly increasing the amount of oxygen in the bloodstream.
3. Enhanced Oxygen Delivery – The extra oxygen helps repair damaged tissues, reduce swelling, and fight infections more effectively.

Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

✅ Enhances Wound Healing – Promotes the repair of wounds, burns, and skin grafts.
✅ Reduces Inflammation – Helps with conditions like traumatic brain injuries and chronic pain.
✅ Boosts Immune Function – Improves the body’s ability to fight infections, including those caused by bacteria resistant to antibiotics.
✅ Supports Neurological Recovery – Used in the treatment of strokes, traumatic brain injuries, and neurodegenerative diseases.
✅ Improves Athletic Recovery – Reduces muscle fatigue and speeds up post-exercise recovery.

Common Medical Uses of Hyperbaric Chambers

🔹 Wound Healing: Diabetic foot ulcers, burns, skin grafts
🔹 Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Increases oxygen to counteract carbon monoxide effects
🔹 Decompression Sickness: Used for scuba divers with “the bends”
🔹 Radiation Injury: Helps tissue damage caused by radiation therapy
🔹 Chronic Pain Conditions: Fibromyalgia, migraines, and other chronic pain syndromes
🔹 Neurological Conditions: Stroke recovery, traumatic brain injuries, multiple sclerosis

Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Safe?

HBOT is generally safe but should be conducted under medical supervision.

Possible side effects include:
Ear barotrauma (ear discomfort due to pressure changes)
Temporary vision changes (mild nearsightedness)
Oxygen toxicity (rare but can occur with prolonged exposure to high oxygen levels)

Who Can Benefit from Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

If you suffer from chronic wounds, tissue damage, infections, or neurological conditions, HBOT may be an effective therapy for you. Always consult a healthcare professional to determine if hyperbaric therapy is right for your condition.
