ENHANCING LIFE ONE BREATH AT A TIME WITH
HYPERBARIC OXYGEN TREATMENT

National Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
is a state of the art HBOT facility. We utilize four Sechrist hyperbaric oxygen chamber. Treatments are administered by our staff of highly trained, courteous technicians under the direction of Dr. Allan Spiegel, neurologist. 

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (abbreviated HBOT therapy) is a medical treatment that uses pure oxygen to speed and enhance the body’s natural ability to heal.  Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is an American Medical Association, FDA and Medicare approved modality.  While sometimes hyperbaric medicine procedures are used as a primary emergency treatment, it is more often used as a cost effective adjunct or enhancement therapy.  

During hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), the patient breathes pure, 100% oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure.  (The air we normally breathe contains only 19-21% of this essential element.)  The concentration of oxygen normally dissolved in the bloodstream is thus raised many times above normal (up to 2000%).  With HBOT therapy, in addition to the blood, all body fluids including the lymph and cerebrospinal fluids are infused with the healing benefits of this molecular oxygen.  It can reach bone and tissues which are inaccessible to red blood cells, enhance white blood cell function, and promote the formation of new capillary and peripheral blood vessels.  Hyperbaric treatment results in increased infection control and faster healing of a wide range of conditions.  

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM HYPERBARIC MEDICINE PROCEDURES?

Many medical conditions respond well to Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.  These include:  stroke, coma, reflex sympathetic dystrophy, Lyme disease, peripheral neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, osteoradionecrosis, crush injuries, decubitous ulcers, delayed wound healing, migraine headaches, brain edema, near drowning, hearing loss, radiation myelitis, Crohn’s disease, closed head injury, and healing after cosmetic surgery.
