Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (Improve Blood Circulation)

· Those who want a safe Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Bangkok.
· Those with slow-healing wounds, diabetic foot issues or retinal damage.
· Those with cerebral palsy, Lyme disease or autism.
· Those who wish to improve blood circulation in the body.
· Those who wish to increase the absorption of oxygen by body tissue.

As you lie inside a chamber or compartment with increased pressure, you will be provided with 100% oxygen (unlike the 21% oxygen found in the air we breathe). By inhaling 100% oxygen at an elevated pressure (2 to 3 times than normal), 20 times more oxygen can be transported into your blood and delivered to injured organs and tissue, leading to accelerated healing and other advantageous effects.

The air pressure in a hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber is increased to 3 times higher than normal air pressure. An increase in oxygen takes place. Your blood carries this oxygen throughout your body. This helps to support growth of new blood vessels that replace the damaged ones, fight bacteria and boost the process to remove toxins.

<Advantages>
· Promotes healing/improves blood circulation
· Increases absorption of oxygen by tissues
· Improves diabetic foot issues and retinal damage due to diabetes
· Treats severe burns/thermal burns
· Treats slow-healing wounds
· Accelerates the healing of complicated infections

<Limitations>
· Fatigue, dizziness
· Severe problems may include fluid buildup in the middle ear, oxygen poisoning or sinus damage. Side effects are generally mild as long as the treatment does not last more than 2 hours, and pressure inside the chamber is less than 3 times that of the normal pressure in the atmosphere.

Q1: Does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy really improve the symptoms of autism?
A1: In several studies, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has been shown to improve the social interaction, fine motor and eye-hand coordination, language, gross motor skills and self-help scores of children on the autistic spectrum disorder. In addition, a number of studies have shown that autistic children have decreased blood flow. This decreased blood flow means that when their brain is attempting to execute a task such as generating speech or focusing, their blood flow does not increase and does not provide brain cells the appropriate amount of oxygen and glucose.

Q2: How many sessions of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy do I need?
A2: You may need to have multiple treatments. The number is determined by your particular condition and your response to HBO therapy. Usually, emergency conditions require 1 to 2 treatments in the first week. Long-standing infections and wounds might require 20 to 60 treatments throughout several weeks.

Q3: Is this procedure painful?
A3: No. However, you might feel a sense of fullness in your ears as the pressure inside the chamber is increased. This feeling is comparable to that which is felt while flying in an airplane or diving underwater. The staff will teach you a simple technique to relieve ear pressure and avoid any uneasiness. Some may feel light-headed after the therapy, which only lasts for a few minutes.

Q4: What other illnesses can be treated by Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
A4: Severe anemia, arterial gas embolism, carbon monoxide poisoning, gangrene, vision loss, deafness, skin flap at risk of tissue death, brain abscess, decompression sickness, skin and bone infection.
