Best Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Near Me in San Luis Tlatilco, Mexico City

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is designed to increase the amount of oxygen you breathe into your lungs. The oxygen then transfers to your blood and tissues to promote healing and fight infection. This therapy takes place in a specially designed chamber where the air pressure is increased to double or triple that of regular air pressure, hence allowing you to breathe in more oxygen. You should note, too much oxygen can be dangerous, so the amount released in a hyperbaric chamber is measured.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has many benefits and can help treat decompression sickness, carbon monoxide poisoning, arterial gas embolisms, traumatic injuries, burns, bone infections and more.

You may experience ear and sinus pain, temporary vision changes, and even lung collapse. Ask your therapist to go through the side effects and risks with you before you book your session.

Everyone is different, so the frequency and length of your treatments greatly depends on you and your progress. Some conditions – such as non-healing wounds – may need multiple treatments; others – such as carbon monoxide poisoning – can probably be treated within 3 sessions. For a more accurate idea of how many treatments you’ll need and how long each one will last, ask your practitioner.

Check your policy. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is covered by some insurance providers, but it might not extend to the reason for your treatment.
