Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a cutting-edge medical treatment that involves administering 100% pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, allowing your body to absorb higher levels of oxygen than what is achievable through normal breathing. This increase in oxygen concentration promotes healing, accelerates tissue repair, and enhances the body’s natural ability to fight infections.
Conditions Treated with HBOT:
HBOT has shown remarkable benefits in treating various medical conditions, including but not limited to:
HBOT can alleviate the side effects of radiation therapy in cancer patients, promoting tissue healing and reducing inflammation.
During conventional exercise, our muscles require oxygen to produce energy for movement. As we age or encounter health challenges, our body’s ability to deliver oxygen efficiently may diminish. However, EWOT addresses this by enhancing oxygen delivery, allowing your body to work at its full potential during exercise.
When you exercise with additional oxygen, your blood becomes oxygen-rich, enhancing the oxygen saturation of tissues and organs. This increased oxygenation supports cellular function, aids in detoxification, and helps improve overall cardiovascular health.
HBOT aids in bone repair and regeneration, accelerating the healing process for non-healing bone fractures.
HBOT stimulates the growth of new blood vessels and enhances the body’s ability to heal chronic wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers, non-healing surgical wounds, and radiation-induced tissue injuries.
HBOT helps eliminate carbon monoxide from the bloodstream, reducing the risk of long-term complications associated with carbon monoxide poisoning.
HBOT enhances the body’s immune response to fight bacterial and fungal infections, aiding in the recovery from severe soft tissue infections.
Your HBOT Experience:
During your HBOT sessions at Dr. Manny Emenike’s Internal Medicine practice, you can expect a warm and supportive atmosphere. Our team will guide you through the entire process, addressing any questions or concerns you may have.
HBOT sessions typically last between 60 to 90 minutes, during which you can relax comfortably inside the hyperbaric chamber. Many patients find this time to be an excellent opportunity to unwind, read, or listen to music.
The number of HBOT sessions required may vary based on your specific medical condition and response to treatment. Dr. Manny Emenike will create a personalized treatment plan to ensure the best possible outcome for you.
Athletes have also found tremendous benefits in HBOT treatments. Many professional athletes and sports organizations have incorporated hyperbaric chambers into their training equipment. The increased oxygen promotes blood flow and waste removal, expediting recovery time. Moreover, the heightened oxygen levels enhance brain function and decision-making abilities, providing athletes with improved focus and quicker decision-making during games. In the event of an injury, HBOT’s elevated oxygen levels accelerate healing times, enabling athletes to return to training and competitions more swiftly.
Prominent athletes, including U.S. Olympic athletes and NFL players such as Steve Weatherford, Terrell Owens, and Rashad Jennings, regularly use hyperbaric chambers for recovery and training. MLB players Matt Kemp and Adrian Beltre also rely on HBOT treatments to aid in their athletic performance. Notably, top athletes like Tiger Woods, UFC fighter Urijah Faber, and Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps have also embraced the benefits of HBOT to enhance their abilities and overall well-being.
