Hyperbaric chamber

Hyperbaric chamber treatment is a non-invasive therapy in which the patient breathes 100% oxygen in a pressurized environment above normal atmospheric pressure.

Oxygen, being able to dissolve in greater quantities in the blood and tissues, promotes cell regeneration, reduces inflammation, improves blood flow and accelerates the recovery process of muscle, bone or tendon injuries.

This type of oxygen therapy provides benefits both in injury and healing processes as well as in recovery after intense efforts typical of sports.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is indicated for a variety of clinical conditions and processes, including:

• Muscle injuries and overloads
• Tendinopathies
• Post-surgical treatments
• Sores or slow healing wounds
• Inflammatory processes
• Chronic fatigue or delayed recovery
• Complex sports injuries
• Pain and chronic degenerative processes

In addition, in the field of sports, it helps to speed up recovery times and support the rehabilitation of common injuries.

Diagnosis and assessment

Before starting treatment, it is essential to perform an individualized clinical assessment.

During this consultation, the specialized healthcare professional will conduct a detailed interview, together with a physical examination and analysis of the available complementary tests, in order to accurately determine the therapeutic indication and ensure the maximum safety and efficacy of the procedure.

Treatment

The patient enters the hyperbaric chamber, where he/she will breathe pure oxygen in a pressurized environment for a certain time (usually between 60 and 90 minutes).

This increase of oxygen in the tissues promotes biological mechanisms that favor regeneration, healing and functional recovery after injuries or intense efforts.

The procedure is safe, controlled and supervised at all times by qualified personnel.

Maintenance

The number and frequency of sessions will be established on a personalized basis, depending on the patient’s diagnosis and clinical evolution.

The individualized planning of the sessions allows to adapt the therapy to the specific needs of each treatment and to maximize its beneficial effects.
