who can benefit from HBOT

Hyperbaric oxygen Therapy (HBOT) can help a wide variety of conditions involving compromised blood flow and oxygen deprivation. This valuable treatment uses 100% oxygen to speed and enhance the body’s natural ability to heal. HBOT is accepted by the American Medical Association and Food and Drug Administration for specific indications.
