Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) for Chronic Pain

Suffering from chronic pain, fibromyalgia, CRPS/RSD, or MPS affects every facet of your life. Pain that persists for months may start from an initial injury or illness, but it can also arise without a clear cause. Chronic pain affects sleep, stamina, appetite, and mood, and can lead to reduced flexibility and strength. With good reason, chronic pain can create feelings of anxiety, uncertainty, and sadness. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses pressurized oxygen to decrease inflammation and accelerate healing. Chronic pain sufferers report less pain and swelling, and more freedom from pain medications following hyperbaric oxygen therapy regimens.

Chronic pain is a debilitating condition. Its invisibility can result in frustration from patients who feel ignored by practitioners who do not have effective tools to diagnose and treat the pain. Sufferers of chronic pain seek relief of immediate symptoms and prevention of future bouts of pain. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is an effective treatment for many of the symptoms of chronic pain like inflammation, fatigue, limited mobility, and nerve pain. HBOT provides relief for chronic pain.

What is chronic pain? 

Chronic pain is pain that lasts longer than six months. It is sometimes caused by past injuries or surgeries. Chronic pain may also be a symptom of chronic illnesses like Multiple Sclerosis (MS), fibromyalgia, arthritis, and Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).
