In hyperbaric oxygen therapy the patient breathes in hyperbaric oxygen to improve the body mass. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a popular and effective treatment in Western countries, and is a new medical science that is still growing in Taiwan. Chutung Veterans Hospital set up the first Hyperbaric oxygen therapy Center in the Taoyuan-, Hsinchu- Miaoli area in March 2000.
Hyperbaric oxygen was used in early years to to treat decompression sickness, and during treatment, hyperbaric oxygen was found to be effective in treating the following illnesses: diabetic foot, chronic osteomyelitis, anaerobic gas gangrene, necrotizing soft tissue infection, crushing injury and traumatic ischemia, compartment syndrome, radiation tissue damage, flap break down, burn injury, gas embolism, carbon monoxide intoxication, decompression sickness and anemia.
The principle behindusing hyperbaric oxygen is that breathing in hyperbaric oxygen increases the amount of oxygen in the body, thereby increasing blood circulation and stimulating blood vessel regeneration. It also strengthens the white blood cell’s’ ability to kill germs, and stop bacteria from growing, and speeds up the process of swelling reduction. Because of the abovementioned principles, this helps wounds to heal, and improves tissues that are short of oxygen., Thus hyperbaric oxygen treatment can be applied to help regulate the functions of the entire body.
Besides treating chronic wounds, our current hyperbaric oxygen applications are quite diversified., For instance, it can be used as treatment for acute traumatic injury, peptic ulcers that are hard to heal, recent cerebral infarctions and recovery from cerebral edema, all of which have been widely approved by patients.
Many medical journals indicate that one cause of aging is accumulation of free radicals inside the body, so that the skin losses its energy, hormones become unbalanced, cardiovascular disease appears, and the cancer factor forms. Using hyperbaric oxygen therapy, can metabolize free radicals inside the body, rejuvenate tissue that is short of oxygen and further increase the body’s immunity.
Care for your health -, please let hyperbaric oxygen help you with your ‘environmental protection’ inside your body.
