What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy 

HBOT is the use of high pressure oxygen to help treat a variety of health conditions and diseases including concussion.

Each cell in the body needs oxygen to preserve, repair and enhance cellular function.

Breathing High flow oxygen at pressures greater than sea level helps flood the body with enriched oxygen, leading to a cascade of positive benefits.

The benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy 

Increases the amount of oxygen carried in the bloodstream, enabling more oxygen to dissolve deep in to our tissues, lymphatics and the cerebrospinal fluid surround the brain and spinal cord

Stimulates the growth of new blood vessels in the body which increases circulation, allowing revitalised tissue to thrive even after the treatment protocol has been completed.

Reduces inflammation and swelling, strengthens the immune system, stimulates the release of stem cells and enhances mitochondrial function and regeneration.

Increases the production of superoxide dismutase, one of the body's natural antioxidants and free radical scavengers, which increases the ability of the body to fight disease and infection.

How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy works 

Normal blood flow 

The air we breathe is about 21 percent oxygen, red blood cells, which are suspended in plasma carry oxygen through blood vessels all over the body, Oxygen gradually diffuses into the surrounding tissue,

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy 

Breathing a high concentration of oxygen under pressures causes oxygen to not only attach to red blood cells but diffuse into the plasma itself. This oxygen rich plasma is able to travel past blockages , like inflamed tissue or through the blood brain barrier, where oxygen may then diffuse in to the damaged tissue

Restricted blood flow 

Surgery, illness or injury like concussion can cause a restriction of blood flow. Plasma passes through but the red blood cells are blocked. Without oxygen, the tissue on the other side of the blockage breaks down 

The healing process 

Tissue that contains a high concentration of oxygen is more likely to generate new blood vessels, Oxygen rich red blood cells start to flow through these new vessels, delivering even more oxygen to damaged areas.

NZ Hyperbarics uses the latest in hyperbaric technology using a hard shell 1.5 ATA chamber where clients lie comfortably during their sessions.
