How does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) help the body heal?Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) at Restorative Oxygen Care can significantly aid the body's healing process through several mechanisms. HBOT involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized environment, which increases the oxygen concentration in the bloodstream. This heightened level of oxygen can promote faster healing by enhancing the body's natural healing processes. Key benefits include: - Enhanced Wound Healing: The increased oxygen levels can help in the formation of new blood vessels, improving blood flow to injured tissues and accelerating the healing of chronic wounds. - Reduced Inflammation: HBOT can diminish swelling and inflammation, which is crucial for conditions like arthritis and injuries. - Fighting Infection: Higher oxygen levels can inhibit the growth of certain bacteria and enhance the effectiveness of white blood cells, which are vital for fighting infections. - Cellular Repair: Oxygen-rich environments speed up cellular repair and regeneration, aiding in the recovery from surgery or trauma. At Restorative Oxygen Care, we utilize HBOT to provide a non-invasive treatment option that supports the body's natural healing capabilities, making it beneficial for a variety of medical conditions. We also accept most insurances, ensuring that more patients have access to this innovative therapy. For more information, contact us at 859-420-6362.

We even offer warm blankets to make the experience more comfortable. Our trained staff will be monitoring you and are always available to ensure your comfort and safety.

What do I wear during my treatment at Restorative Oxygen Care?At Restorative Oxygen Care, your comfort and safety are paramount during hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

How is HBOT different than inflatable chambers?At Restorative Oxygen Care, we provide Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) in a professional-grade, high-pressure chamber, which offers significant advantages over inflatable chambers. Our high-pressure HBOT chambers deliver 100% pure oxygen at increased atmospheric pressures. This method enhances the body’s natural healing processes by allowing oxygen to dissolve more effectively in the blood plasma, thus reaching areas with limited blood flow more efficiently. In contrast, inflatable chambers typically utilize ambient air and operate at much lower pressures. Consequently, they are not capable of delivering the same therapeutic oxygen levels as our high-pressure chambers. This makes the HBOT sessions at Restorative Oxygen Care more effective for a wide range of medical conditions, including but not limited to chronic wounds, radiation injuries, and decompression sickness. Furthermore, our treatment at Restorative Oxygen Care is supervised by trained professionals, ensuring safety and optimizing the treatment protocol for each patient's specific needs. We also offer comprehensive support before, during, and after the therapy sessions to ensure the best possible outcomes for our clients. With our commitment to providing high-quality care and accepting most insurances, we make it easier for patients to access and benefit from this advanced healing therapy. For more details, contact us at 859-420-6362.
