The average age of onset for Parkinson’s Disease is 60 years old.
1 in 500 people live with Parkinson’s Disease (76380 people in Canada)
In Quebec, almost 2,000 are diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease each year.
Research indicates that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) can improve neurological outcomes by increasing enzymes in the body that protect cells and prevent neuronal damage.
HBOT has also been shown to decrease depression, anxiety, and tremors in patients with Parkinson’s Disease.
Research using the animal model suggest hyperbaric oxygen may be effective in preventing the progression of Parkinson’s disease.
HBOT has been shown to stimulate the repair of nervous tissues and have effects on neurotransmitters.
The intermittent exposure to brief periods of hyperoxia followed by period of slightly pressurized medical air (21%) can stimulate the brain’s dopamine system to adjust itself in a beneficial way
