High breathable oxygen environment
High air pressure
Saturates blood with oxygen

Used For
Wound healing
Soft tissue healing*
Sprains
Strains
Contusions
Inflammation
Delayed onset muscle soreness
Following cerebral strokes
Treatment of the Bends
* Efficacy as not been substantiated

Theory
High air pressure decreases the size of gas bubbles in the blood
2 to 3 times that of normal air pressure
High oxygen (100%) intake saturates the blood plasma with increase in oxygen delivered to healing tissues
Decreases hypoxia
Increases phagocytic and fibroblastic activity

Biophysical Effects
Blood Flow
Increased oxygen levels cause increase in oxygen delivered to the tissues
Maybe especially beneficial to avascular structures:
Achilles’ tendon
Rotator cuff

Biophysical Effects
Wound Healing
Improved by:
Oxygen accelerating phagocytosis
Decreasing hypoxia
Antimicrobial effect
Increased ATP levels

Biophysical Effects
Tissue Regeneration
Improved wound healing assists tissue regeneration
Increased rate of fibroblast proliferation
Also used for:
Fracture healing
Reducing delayed onset muscle soreness
Lacking clinical evidence

Precautions
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy should only be administered by trained personnel
Too great of pressure may rupture the tympanic membrane
Increased risk with an inner ear infection
Decongestants may help prevent this
Can increase the output of bodily gasses
