Discover Arizona Hyperbaric Oxygen

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been in practice since the 1600s, a time during which a British clergyman named Henshaw built a structure he called a domicilium. Its purpose was to treat a variety of diseases. Henshaw's model for the domicilium centered around a chamber that could be pressurized with air or unpressurized using bellows; the concept was later continued by French surgeon Fontaine in 1879, and has since been redesigned and used for a variety of purposes.

What is it?

During Arizona hyperbaric oxygen therapy, the patient is given 100% oxygen under pressure. Though it was most popularly used for divers recovering from "the bends", this treatment has since become a more recognized treatment method for a variety of diseases due to its ability to increase the amount of oxygen in the blood.

Typically, the air pressure within an Arizona hyperbaric oxygen chamber is about two and a half times greater than normal atmospheric pressure. This change allows your blood to carry a higher amount of oxygen to the organs and tissues within your body, encouraging healing and cell rejuvenation. There are many uses for this procedure, including the treatment of:

• Air/gas embolism
• Bone infections
• Burns
• Carbon monoxide poisoning
• Decompression sickness
• Gas gangrene
• Necrotizing soft tissue infections
• Cleaning of the entire lung in patients with certain medical conditions
• Radiation injury
• Skin grafts
• Wounds that have not healed with other treatments

Patients have been able to save limbs that would have otherwise succumbed to infection and amputation through the help of Arizona hyperbaric oxygen. Treatment chambers can now be found within hospitals and certain locations across the country. Talk to a qualified medical professional to see whether you can benefit from this procedure; it should only be conducted under the care of an experienced doctor or specialist.
