A Guide to Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Denver

Ample amounts of oxygen are critical to cellular health. Without it, wounds have trouble healing, and chronic health problems can occur. Mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy (mHBOT) is an FDA-approved treatment that can help deliver an increased amount of oxygen to inflamed or injured tissue. If you’re interested in trying mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy in Denver, this guide will tell you everything you need to know about this innovative therapy.

How Does Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Work?

During an mHBOT session, the patient lies on an inclined table inside a pressurized chamber or room filled with 100% pure oxygen. The increased concentration of oxygen causes more oxygen molecules to dissolve into the bloodstream.

As these dissolved oxygen molecules enter the capillaries, they are carried through the circulatory system until they reach their destination - the tissue where healing is needed. Once there, the oxygen stimulates cell growth and can speed up the healing process.

Who Can Benefit from Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Denver?

Anyone who needs a faster healing time following surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation treatment may benefit from mHBOT. People suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning, cyanide poisoning, decompression sickness, gas gangrene, osteomyelitis, flesh-eating diseases, chronic infections, and diabetic wounds can also benefit from this therapy.

Though mHBOT is not yet FDA-approved for the following conditions, studies suggest it can also help treat chronic conditions such as arthritis, cancer, heart failure, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, stroke, traumatic brain injuries, and more.

Are There any Side Effects Associated with Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

There are no known side effects related to mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy. However, you should always check with your doctor before beginning any new treatments. Some people may experience mild discomfort during the first few sessions, but most people describe it as a relaxing experience. Some even nap during their treatment sessions.

What's the Science Behind mHBOT?

The body is made up of blood cells, including erythrocytes and leukocytes. Erythrocytes carry oxygen throughout the body while leukocytes fight infection and inflammation. When someone breathes normally, about 20 million erythrocytes pass through the body every minute.

In contrast, when someone receives mHBOT, hundreds of millions of erythrocytes move through the body each minute. Because of this large number of moving cells, HBOT promotes rapid recovery from illness and trauma.

What Do I Need to Know About Getting Started?

You should consult with your physician before trying mHBOT if you're pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have medical problems. You'll want to tell him/her what kind of care you plan to receive and how often you expect to go to the clinic. Your physician will determine whether you meet all the requirements for receiving mHBOT services. He/she will then refer you to a local provider and you can schedule your appointment.

Is mHBOT Safe?

mHBOT is completely safe. No harmful chemicals are used in this non-invasive and drug-free therapy. At most, patients may have electrodes attached to their bodies.
