Explore the potential healing benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy at Serotonin Centers in South Tampa. Utilizing pressurized oxygen, this non-invasive treatment enhances blood circulation, reduces inflammation, and promotes tissue repair. Consider hyperbaric oxygen therapy if you’re recovering from injury, want to boost athletic performance, or want to optimize wellness.
The mechanism of action behind hyperbaric oxygen therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, typically at pressures greater than sea-level atmospheric pressure. This allows your lungs to gather more oxygen than normal, which is then dissolved into your bloodstream at higher concentrations. The increased oxygen levels in your blood can then promote healing and stimulate the release of growth factors and stem cells, ultimately enhancing the body's natural healing processes.
The higher oxygen concentration in the blood also helps fight bacteria and stimulates the release of substances called growth factors and stem cells, which promote healing. Additionally, the pressurized environment helps increase the oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells and improves the circulation of oxygen to tissues that are compromised due to injury or infection.
