Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, also known as HBOT, is a treatment that has been used for centuries to treat a variety of medical conditions. It involves breathing in 100% pure oxygen while inside a hyperbaric chamber.

HBOT has many benefits, including the promotion of healing in wounds and injuries, the improvement of brain function, and the treatment of conditions like autism and cerebral palsy.

I get my hyperbaric oxygen in Leith, Edinburgh once per week.

Why Hyperbaric Oxygen for Multiple Sclerosis?

Multiple sclerosis affects the central nervous system, specifically the brain and spinal cord. This neurological condition disrupts communication between the brain and body, commonly affecting coordination and balance. Symptoms typically develop gradually over the course of several years. However, the rate of progression varies amongst individuals. The severity of these symptoms can be mild, moderate or severe. Depending on the number of lesions in the brain or spinal cord.

As regular readers know, I have multiple sclerosis and I do like to raise multiple sclerosis awareness at every possibility. Now, perhaps I was being a sceptic or maybe I was just being my usual fatalistic self. But, I have known about hyperbaric treatment for multiple sclerosis, for many years and never considered undertaking the therapy for myself.

However, my brother-in-law has just commenced the treatment himself and is very positive about the prospects.

Furthermore, I always feel the need to help my fellow MSers. And when I find a treatment that works is must shout about it from the highest vantage point.

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) in Edinburgh?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, or HBOT, is a treatment that has been used for centuries to help treat a variety of medical conditions. HBOT involves breathing in 100% pure oxygen while inside a hyperbaric chamber. This increases the amount of oxygen that is delivered to the body’s tissues, which can help improve healing and promote overall wellness.

There are many benefits to hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Some of these include:

-Improved healing: HBOT can help improve wound healing and reduce the risk of infection.
-Reduced inflammation: HBOT can help reduce inflammation and swelling caused by injuries or surgery.
-Improved brain function: HBOT can help improve brain function in people with conditions like cerebral palsy, autism, and stroke.
-Reduced muscle fatigue: HBOT can help reduce muscle fatigue and improve energy levels.

If you are considering hyperbaric oxygen therapy, be sure to talk to your doctor first. He or she can tell you if this treatment is right for you and help you find a hyperbaric chamber in your area.

While I attend hyperbaric oxygen in Edinburgh, you will be able to find a facility much nearer to you. You can always ask your G.P.

How does HBOT work?

HBOT works by flooding the body with oxygen. This oxygen is then able to reach the brain and other organs, which can help to improve function and healing. It can also help to protect the brain from damage caused by a lack of oxygen, such as during a stroke.

HBOT is thought to work by stimulating the release of growth factors and stem cells, which can promote healing. It may also help to reduce inflammation and improve blood flow. HBOT is a safe and effective treatment for many conditions, and it has been used for centuries to treat a variety of medical conditions.

What are the benefits of HBOT therapy?

The benefits of HBOT are vast and varied. It has been shown to be an effective treatment for neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and dementia. Additionally, HBOT can help improve the symptoms of many other conditions, including:

burns

HBOT has also been shown to be an effective adjunctive therapy for cancer, particularly brain tumours. It is thought that the high concentrations of oxygen delivered during HBOT can help to kill cancer cells and shrink tumours.

If you or someone you know is suffering from any of these conditions, HBOT may be a valuable treatment option. To learn more about HBOT and how it could help you or your loved one, please speak to a medical professional.
