How does it work?
The
pressure increases the amount of oxygen at the cellular level, aiding the body’s
natural healing process. It also allows the oxygen to reach bone and tissue,
increasing white blood cell formation and promoting the creation of new
peripheral and capillary vessels.
What type of chamber is
used?
Our Sechrist monoplace chambers are the areas largest
and can accommodate patients up to 700 lbs.
Sechrist Industries is
world-renowned for its chambers and has a reputation for quality, safety and
dependability.
What is treatment
like?
Prior to the start of each treatment, the patient’s
vital signs are taken and ears are checked. For diabetics, blood sugar levels
are taken. There are three phases to the treatment: pressurization, treatment
time and depressurization. During treatment, patients will experience pressure
in their ears, much like the feeling of ascent and descent in an airplane.
What is the length of
treatment?
The length of treatment depends on the diagnosis
being treated, as well as the patient’s overall health.
Treatment can range
from 90 to 120 minutes.
Does insurance cover
treatment?
Most health insurers and Medicare recognize HBOT
as being medically necessary and will usually cover
conventional conditions.
