Heal Injuries Rapidly With Oxygen Therapy

mHBOT is most effective for treating injuries that benefit from increased oxygen supply, such as diabetic foot ulcers, burns, crush injuries, certain types of brain injuries, soft tissue injuries, and delayed radiation injuries. It is also used for sports-related injuries like sprains, strains, and fractures to accelerate the healing process.

Yes, mHBOT can significantly speed up the healing process for sports injuries. By increasing the oxygen saturation in the blood, it helps to reduce swelling, minimise pain, and enhance the body’s natural healing processes. Athletes may notice quicker recovery times, which allows them to return to training and competition sooner than with traditional recovery methods alone.

mHBOT is generally safe with few side effects, but some individuals may experience mild discomfort such as ear pressure, similar to what one might feel in an airplane during takeoff or landing. Rarely, more serious side effects like oxygen toxicity or barotrauma could occur, but these risks are minimal when the therapy is administered in a controlled setting by professionals.

The number of mHBOT sessions required for injury recovery varies based on the severity of the injury and individual response to the therapy. Typically, a treatment regimen may consist of 20 to 40 sessions, with each session lasting about 60 to 90 minutes. Some conditions may require ongoing treatments, especially for chronic injuries.

Coverage of mHBOT by health insurance varies by provider and policy. In many cases, mHBOT is covered for conditions that are FDA-approved for treatment, such as diabetic foot ulcers and burn recovery. However, for sports injuries and other non-approved conditions, coverage may not be available, and it is advisable to check with your insurance provider.

mHBOT can be beneficial in managing chronic pain following injuries. The therapy improves oxygenation and blood flow to affected areas, which can help reduce inflammation and aid in the healing of tissues that cause pain. Additionally, mHBOT has been shown to enhance the body's endorphin release, which naturally alleviates pain.

The cost of mHBOT can vary widely depending on the location, facility, and number of sessions required. 60 minute sessions can often run as high as £200 - £400, but here at The Oxygen Studio, we only charge £90 per session, and you can get sessions as low as £27 each when you buy our memberships.

While mHBOT is safe for many patients, there are contraindications. These include certain types of lung diseases, such as untreated pneumothorax, certain types of ear and sinus conditions that make it difficult to equalise pressure, and some types of infections. Patients with claustrophobia may also have difficulty undergoing treatment. It's crucial to consult with a healthcare provider to determine if mHBOT is suitable for your specific situation.
