Arthritis

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) treating arthritis by reducing inflammation in affected joints, promoting tissue repair, and supporting pain relief and improved mobility.

Treatment of Arthritis with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Arthritis, particularly in its chronic forms such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, is a leading cause of pain and disability worldwide. The inflammation in joints, stiffness, and reduced mobility can significantly impact daily life. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) offers a promising alternative treatment to alleviate arthritis symptoms by reducing inflammation, improving joint function, and promoting tissue repair.

HBOT works by delivering 100% oxygen in a pressurized environment, allowing higher oxygen levels to reach inflamed and damaged tissues. This increase in oxygen helps reduce joint inflammation, improve blood flow, and stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. For arthritis sufferers, this oxygen boost can promote the repair of cartilage, reduce pain, and improve mobility, ultimately enhancing the quality of life. Studies have shown that HBOT may help slow the progression of arthritis and reduce the reliance on pain medications.

At Hyperbaric Health Services, we provide personalized HBOT treatments designed to address the specific needs of individuals with arthritis. Our team ensures a comfortable, clinical environment where patients can experience the full benefits of oxygen therapy. If you're suffering from joint pain or inflammation resistant to traditional treatments, HBOT may be the key to achieving long-lasting relief and better joint health.
