Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber Therapy

As you breathe right now, red blood cells are carrying and converting oxygen into critical energy, directing it throughout the body to power organs and muscles, kill invasive bacteria, heal wounds, and overall allow your brain and body to function properly. Think of it this way: if you were an engine, oxygen would be the oil that keeps you running smoothly.

Your body relies on oxygen even when it’s healthy. When tissues are injured (externally or internally), even more oxygen than normal is required to help support the body’s ability to repair itself. However, supplemental oxygen is hard to obtain, leaving patients at an oxygen deficit. Additionally, cancer and chronic diseases thrive in these low-oxygen environments and work against the body to deprive cells of much-needed oxygen. Without an adequate supply, both quality of life and essential bodily functions are left at risk. This is where hyperbaric oxygen therapy can help!

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a non-invasive, effective way to support your body’s natural healing abilities while experiencing a range of benefits on both a surface and cellular level. Many patients report improvements in sleep, physical appearance and skin, mental state, sexual performance, overall wellbeing, and even healing in areas of the body that were not initially associated with treatment! In other words, hyperbaric oxygen therapy proves beneficial not just in healing specific ailments, but in maintaining a healthy lifestyle overall.

At Michigan Health and Wellness, we have two chambers available for our patients’ convenience, and invite patients to feel comfortable through the duration of their 60-90 minute therapy sessions. While in the chamber, you can read, sleep, or simply relax (no electronics are allowed) all while receiving the benefits of pressurized oxygen.
