Naturally reduce inflammation with hyperbaric oxygenation

Thu, Sep 12, 2024

Managing inflammation is a common challenge that many of us face, whether it’s due to injury, illness, or chronic conditions. Inflammation causes painful swelling that not only disrupts our comfort but also hinders our body’s natural healing processes by obstructing oxygen flow to our cells.

Oxygen is vital for cell health, and when its delivery is compromised, it can negatively impact various bodily functions. Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBOT) emerges as an effective treatment for this problem by enhancing oxygen delivery to inflamed areas, thereby supporting recovery.

Reducing diabetic related amputations

Thu, Aug 29, 2024

Did you know that Ireland is currently one of the top spenders in the world on complications related to diabetes? It is estimated that between eight and 10 per cent of our overall healthcare expenditure is spent on diabetic complications such as hospitalisation, surgical interventions and long-term wound dressings, etc. Even more concerning is that while other EU countries are successfully reducing the number of diabetes-related amputations by introducing hyperbaric oxygenation (HBOT), Ireland isn't keeping pace.

One of the biggest challenges for people with diabetes is dealing with non-healing wounds, especially foot ulcers. HBOT can significantly speed up healing by boosting oxygen supply to the affected area. In fact, European studies show that HBOT can improve the healing of diabetic foot ulcers by up to 75 per cent in some cases. The combined antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits following sessions of HBOT create an optimal healing environment.
