Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy accelerates the process of healing in any wound that’s inflammation and hypoxia related. It is effective when complicated, non-healing wounds, are present. Conditions that have been studied where HBOT can be effective include acute pancreatitis, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and complications, postoperative ileus, radiation proctitis, radiation enteritis, and abdominal infections such as diverticulitis.
How hyperbarics can complement your care?
- Decreasing inflammation
- Down regulation of TNF-alpha
- Bactericidal to anaerobic and facultatively anaerobic bacteria
- Increases Angiogenesis
- Releases pluripotent stem cells from bone marrow
