What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

A non-invasive, highly clinically effective medical therapy consisting of breathing 100% pure oxygen inside a chamber at an atmospheric pressure higher than normal.

The Physical Principle: Henry's Law

Under normal conditions, our red blood cells carry the vast majority of oxygen, saturating almost 100%. Therefore, breathing more oxygen at normal pressure barely raises blood levels.

However, under Henry's Law, by increasing the ambient air pressure in a hyperbaric chamber, oxygen physically dissolves massively into the blood plasma (the liquid part of the blood), multiplying its concentration by up to 20 times.

Systemic Tissue Hyperoxia

This super-oxygenated plasma travels without restriction, reaching poorly irrigated tissues, inflammations, and edemas where red blood cells cannot enter.

Main Physiological Effects:

  • Neovascularization (Angiogenesis): Promotes the creation of new blood capillaries in areas of poor circulation.
  • Osteogenesis: Accelerates bone mineralization and the consolidation of complex fractures.
  • Anti-inflammatory Effect: Reduces edema by causing peripheral vasoconstriction without decreasing cellular oxygenation.
  • Immunomodulation: Increases phagocytosis and bacterial destruction by leukocytes.

What is the Treatment Like at the Center?

A comfortable and relaxing procedure performed in an environment of complete medical trust.

1. Initial Assessment

The center's physician evaluates your clinical history, prescribing the chamber pressure (ATA) and the optimal number of sessions.

2. The Chamber Session

You lie down comfortably in our transparent Perry monoplace chamber. It lasts 60-90 minutes, during which you can rest.

3. Immediate Normal Life

Upon finishing the session, the patient can immediately return to daily or sports activities without any downtime.
