Hyperbaric Chamber

Please contact the Strasburg Office to schedule, 701-336-2280

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is healthy and can be used to complement spinal adjustments and other treatments, aiming to accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation. This may aide the body's innate healing processes and your immune system without the use of drugs or invasive procedures.

 

What to Expect at Your Appointment
You will experience HBOT in a seated position in a pressurized chamber. You can return to your usual daily activities immediately following a hyperbaric oxygen therapy session.

Most people see benefits from hyperbaric oxygen therapy after several sessions.

 

The FDA has cleared hyperbaric chambers for the following disorders:
  • Air and gas bubbles in blood vessels
  • Anemia (severe anemia when blood transfusions cannot be used)
  • Burns (severe and large burns treated at a specialized burn center)
  • Carbon monoxide poisoning
  • Crush injury
  • Decompression sickness (diving risk)
  • Gas gangrene
  • Hearing loss (complete hearing loss that occurs suddenly and without any known cause)
  • Infection of the skin and bone (severe)
  • Radiation injury
  • Skin graft flap at risk of tissue death
  • Vision loss (when sudden and painless in one eye due to blockage of blood flow)
  • Wounds (non-healing, diabetic foot ulcers)
HBOT is also being studied for other conditions, including COVID-19. However, at this time, the FDA has not cleared or authorized the use of any HBOT device to treat COVID-19 or any conditions beyond those listed below. Is HBOT right for you? Call us at 336-2280 to discuss.

 

Examples of How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is used to treat conditions and disorders:

Musculoskeletal Disorders

Chronic Back Pain: Combining HBOT with chiropractic adjustments may enhance pain relief and tissue repair by increasing oxygen levels in the affected areas, potentially speeding up recovery times (Jerome et al., 2006).

Injury Recovery: For patients recovering from musculoskeletal injuries, HBOT can reduce recovery time by enhancing tissue oxygenation and repair, while chiropractic care can ensure proper joint alignment and function during the healing process (Harch, 2012).

Neurological Conditions

Stroke Rehabilitation: HBOT has been shown to improve outcomes in stroke rehabilitation by promoting neuroplasticity. When combined with chiropractic care, which can aid in motor function and coordination, patients may experience improved recovery rates (Rockswold et al., 2013).

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Similar to stroke, the combination of HBOT and chiropractic interventions could support brain healing processes and facilitate improvements in cognitive and motor functions (Bennett et al., 2012).
