Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) at Inland Naturopathic Medical Center
*Visit us online at inlandnaturalmedicine.com to learn more about our services.
During HBOT, your body is effectively saturated with oxygen, an essential element used by your body for healing. HBOT provides oxygen to cells and tissues that suffer from a lack of oxygen. Tissues suffering from hypoxia are unable to heal themselves as effectively as when they have oxygen. Most cells in areas of swelling or other types of injury are suffering from hypoxia. HBOT also boosts the abilities of the immune system by accelerating the creation of new white blood cells, the sentinel of the bloodstream.
