Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments Reviews

Hyperbaric oxygen chambers have gained popularity in the recent years as scientific evidence showing their effectiveness at treating various ailments has begun coming to public attention. Once a very expensive option with very limited availability, hyperbaric oxygen therapy has become
commonplace thanks to the development of portable hyperbaric oxygen chambers. Compared to the chambers available a few years back, and compared to visiting a doctor offering hyperbaric therapy, a portable chamber is financially very viable.

A typical hyperbaric chamber runs upwards of $15,000. However, thanks to some generous pioneers, efforts have been made to make chambers available at greatly reduced prices. Given how effective hyperbaric chambers are at treating autism, doctors like Jason Rose from Advanced Spine and Extremity Clinic have tried to make chambers available at much lower rates. For example, a chamber that once cost around $16,000 can now be purchased through HyperbaricSupport.com (operated by Dr. Rose) for around $7000. What’s more, there are options like rent to own available to help finance the chamber if needed. This is all on top of extra bonus equipment, reports, support, and free shipping, which makes acquiring hyperbaric oxygen chambers much cheaper today than they once were.

Introduction:  Hyperbaric Medicine – Healing With Oxygen
For many years, Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy (aka HBO Therapy or HBOT) has been recognized as the definitive treatment for decompression sickness, air embolism, as well as carbon monoxide poisoning.  There are approximately 60 medical indications being treated, worldwide, using HBOT either by itself or in combination with other prescribed medications and protocols.  This section will give you an overview regarding the successes and hopefuls of HBO therapy.

As with everything in Medical Science, there are approved indications and experimental or investigational indications.  There are 13 conditions or disorders currently approved for treatment in the United States by the FDA.  The Undersea Hyperbaric Medical Society recognizes these treatments as successful alternatives in heightened wound healing and disorder relief.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), as administered at he Mount Rainier Clinic, is a medical treatment during which the entire body is placed in a transparent, airtight chamber at increased atmospheric pressure. The patient is surrounded by and breathes 100 percent pure oxygen. This treatment is proven effective for a number of different medical and surgical conditions either as a primary or adjunctive treatment. It is also used to treat many other medical conditions that are still considered experimental by the mainstream medical establishment—despite decades of reported benefit.

At Mount Rainier Clinic in Yelm, Washington (near Tacoma and Olympia), we utilize Sechrist monoplace hyperbaric chambers. They are large enough to hold a seven-foot patient. The pressure can be increased to as much as three times normal atmospheric pressure (although the usual treatment pressure is twice atmospheric or less). Pure, 100 percent oxygen is continuously maintained and circulated throughout the treatment. There is no need to wear a mask or hood at our clinics because the entire chamber is pressurized with oxygen instead of room air. This method requires much more oxygen per treatment, but provides additional benefit at lower pressures—especially to areas of the body with poor blood flow.
