Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a simple, pain free and non-invasive treatment that increases the amount of oxygen within the blood and tissues.

Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBO) consists of exposure to 100% oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure.

It enables our blood plasma to absorb up to fifteen times more oxygen for tissue use.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is shown to be effective in treatment of:

●     Pain Relief

●     Regulating Sleep Patterns

●     Radiation Injury

●     Wound Healing

There is also anecdotal evidence that suggests the value of HBOT in management of depression, anxiety and general mental clarity.

When your blood carries this extra oxygen throughout your body, this helps fight bacteria and stimulate the release of substances called growth factors and stem cells, which promote healing.

Handled by our trained practitioners, The Hale Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy brings to you advanced technology in Central London. The chambers are built to provide the utmost comfort through a restful and safe setting for a restorative, relaxing and rejuvenating session.

The process of the HBOT treatment is safe, you will be assessed beforehand and monitored throughout.

HBOT AND POST-COVID SYNDROME

Most patients who have contracted coronavirus disease (COVID-19) recover to good health within a few weeks, yet around 17% of patients continue to have problematic symptoms up to 3 months after the onset of COVID-19 — even after tests no longer detect virus in their body. This is known as long COVID.

The most common symptoms that people with long COVID-19 experience include:

  • Loss of taste and/or smell

  • Sleep issues

  • Tachycardia

  • Gut issues

  • Anxiety

  • Fatigue

  • Difficulty breathing

  • Joint pain

  • Chest pain

  • Brain fog, including an inability to concentrate and impaired memory

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is quickly proving to be a useful method of complementary long COVID treatment, with studies and clinical trials already in place.

Due to the ischemic nature (lack of tissue oxygen) of COVID-19, HBOT has the in supplementing the amount of oxygen dissolved by body tissues following infection.

BENEFITS OF HBOT TREATMENT

HBOT treatment helps in one’s overall strength and endurance. It keeps you strong, active, and energized throughout the day while also aiding in muscle recovery and injury repair.

HBOT treatment can aid in combating age-related concerns. The extra oxygen from treatment is essential for producing new tissues and blood vessels, which fights the degenerative effects from the ageing process and helps in preventing chronic conditions. With regenerative benefits HBOT can be beneficial in the process of wound healing, scar treatment, as well as supporting the recovery of other cosmetic therapies and treatments.

SIDE EFFECTS OF HBOT TREATMENT

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is not safe for everyone. In general, you shouldn't receive HBOT if you:

  • Have a cold or a fever

  • Have had recent ear surgery or injury

  • Do not like small enclosed spaces (claustrophobia)

  • Have certain types of lung diseases, because of an increased risk for a collapsed lung

  • Have a collapsed lung

Possible symptoms or side effects after HBOT can include fatigue and lightheadedness. More severe problems can include:

  • Lung damage

  • Fluid buildup of the middle ear

  • Sinus damage

  • Changes in vision

To ensure you receive a safe treatment process you will be assessed beforehand and monitored throughout.
