There are a number of chronic conditions that can benefit from HBOT, but with football season in full swing; let’s focus on head injuries and sports related injuries. 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 activityto acelerate and enhance healing from surgeries and wounds. Studies have demonstated the benefits of HBOT fo sports-related injuries with the following:
- Increases Collagen Production
- Reduces Inflammation and Pain
- Faster and Better Recovery from Sprains, Tears, and Bone Fractures
- Stimulates Angiogenesis
- Enhances Recovery from Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) and Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injuries
- Decreases Susceptibility Towards Reinjuring Target Areas
