Migraines

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) treating migraines by increasing oxygen flow to the brain, reducing inflammation, and supporting pain relief and faster recovery.

Treatment of Migraines with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Migraines are a debilitating condition that can severely affect a person's quality of life, causing intense headaches, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has emerged as a potential solution to help alleviate migraine symptoms and improve recovery by enhancing the body's ability to manage inflammation and restore proper cellular function.

HBOT works by delivering 100% oxygen in a pressurized environment, allowing for increased oxygen delivery to the brain and other tissues. This process reduces inflammation, increases blood flow, and helps repair damaged blood vessels, all of which are critical in managing migraines. For patients suffering from migraines, especially chronic ones, HBOT can relieve pain, shorten the duration of attacks, and potentially decrease the frequency of episodes.

At Hyperbaric Health Services, we offer personalized HBOT treatments in a safe and relaxing environment. If you're dealing with chronic migraines that have resisted other treatments, HBOT may offer a non-invasive, effective option for relief and better long-term outcomes. Our team is dedicated to providing the highest quality care to help you live migraine-free.
