Hyperbaric oxygen therapy

Improvements in healing can be substantial with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Patients are surrounded by 100 percent pure oxygen while relaxing inside a pressurized chamber, watching a favorite movie, listening to music or taking a nap. The therapy greatly increases the amount of oxygen in the bloodstream delivered to bodily tissues and significantly enhances the healing process.
