Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is one of the many complimentary services we offer, here at Turnpaugh Health and Wellness Center. Take a moment to learn what HBOT is, how it helps the body and if HBOT is right for you!

HBOT mimics diving underwater in the sense that it increases external pressure. The typical dive pressure is 4 PSI. HBOT pushes oxygen into the tissues, activating both pressure sensitive and oxygen sensitive genes. It increases peripheral tissue perfusion, oxygenates the body, and helps our blood cells carry oxygen more effectively. HBOT can also lead to increased peripheral and cerebellar vascularization and increased axonal development (improvement in neuron regeneration). It has shown to have improvement in maintenance or correction of the blood brain barrier, helps improve mitochondrial function, and helps with inflammatory processes such as oxidation. Additionally, studies have shown that HBOT results in the upregulation of hypoxia-inducible factors, Wnt, and CREB.

Some of the many conditions that HBOT may help with include diabetes, burns/skin grafts, cognitive loss and brain fog, concussions, hypoxic events, TBI, PTSD, stroke, Parkinson’s, certain vision issues, Cerebral Palsy, autism, lyme disease, and mild toxicity. There is some discrepancy over how often someone should do HBOT sessions. Some research shows that 40 dives in 30 days is ideal, but other research shows 3 days a week for 4-5 weeks is optimal. HBOT sessions can be anywhere from 50 minutes to an hour and a half long. We typically recommend patients come in 3 times a week for about 5 weeks for one hour sessions. However, treatment varies on a patient to patient basis.
