ATHLETES
HBOT has recently taken off in the professional athletics world. Many athletes, some of our favorites being Lebron James and Tiger Woods, have their own chambers. In fact they both have the same one we use here at North Shore Hyperbarics - the Vitaeris 320. These athletes aren’t just using HBOT for quicker recoveries and rehabilitation, they are using it for injury prevention, performance optimization, and improved mental clarity.
Benefits may include:
reduces inflammation and pain
recovery from sprains and tears
stimulates angiogenesis
recovery from concussions and head injuries
accelerates healing from acute muscle strain
improves blood flow
decreases lactic acid
increases serotonin levels
accelerates jet lag recovery

PREVENTION & PROTECTION
Hyperbarics isn’t just for athletes. In fact, one of the greatest benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy is that it preconditions the body to protect vital organs, like the heart, brain and liver.
Benefits may include:
combats and prevents circulatory diseases
supports the immune system
decreases the risk of infections
promotes neuroplasticity
reduces risk of heart attack

HEALTHY AGING
In more recent hyperbaric news, HBOT has been shown to aid in the aging process, and possibly even reverse the aging process all together.
Benefits may include:
improves mobility and stamina
maintains skin elasticity
stimulates angiogenesis
improves memory and mental performance
enhances collagen production
improves nutritional absorption

BRAIN HEALTH
HBOT increases the amount of oxygen in the blood. Since the brain uses 20% of our oxygen intake, hyperbaric oxygen therapy provides various benefits for overall brain health.
Benefits may include:
stimulates neurogenesis
reduces stress and anxiety
improves memory, reaction time and mental performance
repairs damaged brain tissue
improves cognitive motor functions

INFLAMMATION & CHRONIC PAIN
Inflamed areas within the body become hypoxic over time, making it that much harder for your body to recover. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy creates an oxygen-rich environment, providing optimal conditions for your body to regenerate itself.
Benefits may include:
promotes anti-inflammatory proteins
enhances blood flow to tissues
minimizes pain and discomfort
reduces swelling
