Fibromyalgia
Treatment of Fibromyalgia with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and tender points. Individuals with fibromyalgia often experience disruptions in daily activities due to constant discomfort, which can significantly affect their quality of life. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has shown promise in alleviating symptoms and improving the well-being of those suffering from fibromyalgia.
HBOT delivers pure oxygen in a pressurized environment, allowing the body to absorb more oxygen than under normal atmospheric conditions. This process increases the oxygenation of tissues, reduces inflammation, and promotes healing at the cellular level. For fibromyalgia patients, HBOT can reduce pain, improve sleep quality, and boost overall energy by targeting the underlying inflammation and oxygen deficiency associated with the condition. Studies have shown that fibromyalgia patients receiving HBOT reported a significant reduction in pain and an improvement in cognitive function.
At Hyperbaric Health Services, we offer customized HBOT treatments tailored to meet the unique needs of fibromyalgia patients. Our clinical approach ensures a comfortable environment, focusing on long-term symptom management and improvement in quality of life. Whether you've tried other treatments with limited success or are exploring new avenues, HBOT may provide the relief you've been seeking.
