HBOT - Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

WHAT IS HBOT:

HBOT is a modern treatment procedure in which a person breathes 90-100% oxygen under elevated pressure in a chamber.
During HBOT, the partial pressure of oxygen in the plasma increases by 10-15x, which allows tissues and organs to receive 10-15x more oxygen.
The high concentration of oxygen in the blood allows oxygen to penetrate into poorly or even non-blooded tissues by diffusion.
HBOT is a safe and successful therapy supported by evidence based on decades of experience and clinical research.

HBOT EFFECTS:

• Improves oxygen supply
• Increases ATP formation in mitochondria
• Improves the energy state of cells, organs and the whole organism
• Accelerates tissue regeneration
• Accelerates healing and cell renewal
• Reduces inflammation

WHO IS OXYGEN THERAPY INTENDED FOR:

People with health problems:

• Poorly healing wounds
• Diabetic ulcers
• Irradiation injuries
• Sudden hearing loss, vision
• Carbon monoxide poisoning
• Gas embolism
• Stroke
• Parkinsonism
• Multiple sclerosis
• Dementia, Alzheimer's disease
• Post-covid syndrome

People who want to stay healthy and youthful (Anti Aging):

• Longevity
• Maintaining and improving health
• Telomer lengthening
• Reducing the number of senescent cells
• Improving cognitive abilities
• Increasing physical energy

For athletes:

• Faster recovery after exertion
• Reduction of inflammation and micro-injuries
• Increase in physical energy
• Improvement of performance
• Improvement of concentration in key moments

MITOCHONDRAL DYSFUNCTION:

Mitochondrial dysfunction, our energy centers, is associated with numerous diseases and a lack of physical energy.
Energy is produced in the mitochondria in the form of ATP molecules. Without ATP, life stops in an instant.
ATP production takes place in the mitochondria in the process of oxidative phosphorylation and is directly related to the sufficient presence of oxygen.
HBOT improves the delivery of oxygen to mitochondria through numerous positive effects, thereby improving their function, especially in poorly supplied tissues.
Improved mitochondrial function helps to improve numerous disease conditions and slow down the aging process.

OXYGEN THERAPY PROCEDURE:

GENERAL ABOUT THERAPY:

• Before starting HBOT treatment, the person is examined by a doctor.
• The doctor assesses the condition, the purpose of the therapy, any reservations for the therapy and determines the therapy protocol.
• The treatment is performed 2-5 times a week. Each therapy lasts 60-70 minutes.
• During the therapy, the person inhales 90-100% oxygen through a mask. Oxygen flows into the mask only during active inhalation.
• The therapy is relaxing, painless and supervised by professional staff.

OUR SPECIAL FEATURES:

• The therapy is performed in a modern chamber, the latest generation IN2050 Aquarius S (HPO Tech) with a pressure of up to 2.0 atm.
• The special shape of the chamber allows for easy entry.
• The chamber has two comfortable seats, which allows for the therapy to be performed on two people simultaneously.
• If necessary, the therapy can be performed with assistance.
• The chamber is extremely safe, the air in the chamber contains 21% oxygen, which excludes the possibility of spontaneous combustion.
• The person in the chamber breathes pure oxygen only actively through a mask (Built-in Breathing System - BIBS).
• The chamber allows for audio and video communication with the person in the chamber and monitoring of the therapy on an LCD.
• HBOT can be supplemented with other regenerative therapies (ESWT, magnetotherapy) and nutritional counseling.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

You can book oxygen therapy in person at the clinic, by phone or e-mail. HBOT treatment is self-pay. 
The price of an individual therapy depends on the number of therapies agreed in advance or performed.
