More people will be helped with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy or HBOT in the near future. What is HBOT? HBOT is 100% oxygen administered to the entire body at greater than normal atmospheric pressure. What conditions benefit from being treated with HBOT? Crohn’s Disease, Non-Healing Wounds, Fibromyalgia, Stroke, Autism, Pre/Post Surgical Procedures, Chronic Pain, Tramatic Brain Injury, Accelerated Healing, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, Adjunct to Physical Therapy and many more.
I tried it after I had my fourth seizure in the middle of the night. I couldn’t wake up from that until I ended up in the hospital. My other three seizures were like that also..I wasn’t getting proper blood flow to my brain due to my mild case of cerebral palsy. I would feel pressure in my head and joints from inadequate blood supply throughout the day. Some days were better than others.
I went to HBOT looking for relief from my seizures and also for depression that I was feeling because of my health problems. I couldn’t believe the results. In a week my depression and headaches starting clearing up. My legs started feeling lighter and I found it easier to walk with a normal stride instead of a slight limp like I’ve had since childhood due to my cerebral palsy. In fact, I love walking now even if it’s just around the yard.
Let me tell you about HBOT now. I was put inside a chamber, laying down, and then air pressure was gradually increased. I could look outside the chamber, sleep or usually I was watching TV. It was very comfortable. When the air pressure was gradually increased, at the beginning and at the end, was the only time I felt a slight discomfort. It’s like the feeling of fullness in your ears when you’re in a plane and it takes off. It’s nothing to worry about. It goes away soon. The HBOT treatment lasts about 1-1/2 hours. You can talk back and forth to the technician using a handset if you need to.
I really believe that HBOT is going to be the treatment of the future. I know it has worked wonders for me and other people that were getting treatments at the center. So why not give it a try if you have a health problem like the ones listed. To find a center, just look on the web under Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.
