Musculoskeletal Injuries
Whether you’re a high-level athlete, an occasional jogger or whether your runners are going dusty under the bed, at some point in everyone’s life they’ll likely suffer from some kind of muscular or skeletal injury. Given that all musculoskeletal injuries from pulled muscles, soft-tissue trauma and overuse strains to broken bones are, basically, cell damage, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can provide that damaged tissue with highly-oxygenated plasma to help it heal itself faster, speeding your recovery and getting you fighting fit again.
Bone injuries
By delivering oxygen supply to the fractures and the area around them, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can help with faster tissue regeneration meaning that broken bones heal, not just more quickly, but often more cleanly too.
Soft tissue
Lack of blood flow to soft tissue areas (ischemia) is often a result of injuries and can be a source of inflammation and pain. Part of the recovery process has to, not only get blood flowing back to the area, but also to provide that tissue with the oxygen it needs to regenerate and recover. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can often greatly assist with that rehabilitation process.
Concussion
Many concussions are similar to other soft tissue injuries elsewhere in the body. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can help with recovery from concussion by supplying the highly-oxygenated blood needed to reduce inflammation and speed the healing process.
Well-known users of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for recovery and rehab include rugby players like Jamie Heaslip, the swimmer Michael Phelps, golfer Tiger Woods, tennis player Novak Djokovic and soccer players like David Beckham and Christiano Ronaldo.
