HyperBaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a treatment used to treat diverse illnesses. HBOT is a painless procedure in which a person is exposed to increased pressure, thus allowing greater absorption of oxygen throughout body tissues. "Hyper" means increased and "baric" relates to pressure.

By providing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber we are able to deliver 10-15 times more oxygen than if delivered at sea level or at normal atmospheric levels. Some of the effects this has are to promote growth of new blood vessels, decreases swelling and inflammation, deactivates toxins, increases the body's ability to fight infections, clears out toxins and metabolic waste products, and improve the rate of healing. HBOT should be used to compliment conventional therapies and treatments.

The healing process occurs when a severely compromised tissue in the body begins to receive oxygen, and blood circulation to the tissue resumes. Inside the pressurized chamber, the injury site now begins to receive a healing dose of oxygen through the surrounding body fluids and plasma, even if the blood suppy to the tissue is compromised.

Four clients at a time can easily be treated with their primary care givers. HBO Treatments are administered using individual oxygen hoods, that Hyperbarics for Hope will assist you in acquiring. HBH will also train you on their use. To enhance client comfort, music or movies can be played. Having a location in Southeastern Wisconsin allows our clients to go for treatment and then return to the familiar surroundings and comfort of their own homes. It also reduces the sometimes prohibitive cost of hyperbaric treatments to families by eliminating travel and lodging expenses.
