Alternative Indications for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Ever since the release of hyperbaric oxygen, although decompression sickness and carbon monoxide poisoning are the traditional indications of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, the other most well-known indications are the promotion of activating fibroblast, enhancement of leukocyte activity, help sterilization, and therefore the promotion of difficult healing or healing of infectious wounds.  

Additionally some hyperbaric oxygen therapy centers in the United States also provide hyperbaric oxygen services for the following therapies: 

• Remove or neutralize the toxins in the body.
• Boost the oxygen concentration in brain cells and thereby activate the brain cells. 
• Help the body cells fully utilize nutrients and activate body cells. 
• Strengthen immune system.
• Help with sleep disorder.
• Boost energy and body endurance.
• Relieve muscle and tendon tension to ease nervous tension, reduce stress and body pain. 
• Increase body circulation and metabolism that reduce the quantity of adipocyte.
• Increase total respiratory volume.
• Threshold energy needed for lowering physical activities.
