Sports Performance & Recovery
Injuries caused by sports-related activities remain a substantial concern with players, coaches and parents alike.
As inflammation and pain play primary roles with respect to recovery, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been shown to significantly reduce inflammation and ameliorate pain. Additionally, HBOT can promote fibroblast/collagen activity to accelerate and enhance healing from surgeries and wounds.
New evidence supports HBOT as an adjunct and practical treatment to help moderate the effects of traumatic brain injuries and enhance brain imaging results. HBOT is often utilized by physicians and patients to help reach a full recovery from high-impact insults to the body and is currently used by some of the U.S. Olympic Teams to treat sports-related injuries as a part of their official medical techniques and equipment.
Studies have demonstrated the benefits of HBOT for sports-related injuries with the following:
AMPLIFY RECOVERY FROM INTENSIVE TRAINING
ACCELERATES HEALLING FROM ACUTE MUSCLE STRAIN
IMPROVES BLOOD FLOW
PROLIFERATES THE PRODUCTION OF ADENOSINE TRI-PHOSPHATE (ATP)
ENHANCE PERFORMANCE
IMPROVES CONCENTRATION
INCREASES SEROTONIN LEVELS
ACCELERATES JET LAG RECOVERY
DECREASES LACTIC ACID
ACCELERATE RECOVERY FROM SPORTS-RELATED INJURIES
INCREASES COLLAGEN PRODUCTION
REDUCES INFLAMMATION & PAIN
FASTER & BETTER RECOVERY FROM SPRAINS, TEARS & BONE FRACTURES
STIMULATES ANGIOGENESIS
ENHANCES RECOVERY FROM MCL & ACL INJURIES
DECREASES SUSCEPTIBILITY TOWARDS REINJURING TARGET AREAS
RAPID RECOVERY FROM CONCUSSIIONS & HEAD INJURIES
IMPROVES SPECT IMAGING RESULTS
FAST RECOVERY FROM SURGERIES
INCREASES FIBROBLAST ACTIVATION
REDUCES INFLAMMATION FOR OPTIMAL PRE-OP CONDITIONS
REDUCES RISK OF INFECTION
STIMULATES STEM CELL PROLIFERATION
DECREASES HOSPITAL TIME
