Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO or HBOT) is a means of providing
additional oxygen to body tissues. By intermittently increasing the
amount of oxygen in the tissues the healing process is enhanced. The
therapy is painless and has the potential for good results.
Breathing
100% oxygen under pressure allows the oxygen to be dissolved into
plasma - the liquid part of the blood. When this occurs, the oxygen
will be beneficial to the body for a longer period of time - up to 2
hours after the treatment is over.
