More About HBOT
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is used in hospitals for acute and serious ailments like diabetic foot wounds, air and gas embolism, carbon monoxide poisoning and smoke inhalation, gas gangrene, thermal and radiation burns, decompression sickness and acute mountain sickness. But outside the official FDA approvals, HBOT has been growing its validation for uses with over 120 accepted treatments.
While most HBOT clinics will try to lure you in with stories of famous people like Bieber and athletes like LeBron who are using HBOT, we like to use research to guide our choices. While anecdotal stories are great to show potential and get the thought process opened, we like to report clinical research that backs those stories, supports the mechanisms of action, and discusses all the positive and negatives of HBOT. Because in the end, you have to decide what works for you, not for someone else, and be sure that you are getting the right kind of HBOT.
