Discover the Surprising Benefits of HBOT!

Conditions Treated with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy at 1.5 ATA

At The Breath Clinic, we offer Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) at 1.5 ATA — a safe, low-pressure, non-invasive treatment that promotes healing by delivering concentrated oxygen under gentle pressure. While 1.5 ATA is not designed for emergency or hospital-level care, it is increasingly used in clinical wellness and rehabilitation settings to support healing in a range of non-acute, chronic, and post-treatment conditions.

Here is a detailed list of conditions and concerns that may benefit from 1.5 ATA HBOT, based on current research and clinical experience.

---
1. Post-Surgical Healing

Supports faster tissue repair following cosmetic, orthopedic, dental, or reconstructive surgeries.
Reduces inflammation, bruising, and swelling.
Enhances scar healing and improves graft or flap survival.
Ideal for: plastic surgery recovery, joint repairs, oral surgery, wound care support.

---

2. Cancer Aftercare Support

Helps regenerate healthy tissues affected by radiation therapy (e.g., in breast, pelvic, or head/neck cancers).
May reduce radiation side effects such as fatigue, tissue damage, and pain.
Supports energy, immune balance, and tissue oxygenation post-treatment.

Note: HBOT does not treat cancer directly, but may assist with recovery and wellness following conventional treatment.

3. Long COVID & Post-Viral Fatigue

Improves oxygen delivery to hypoxic tissues.
May reduce persistent symptoms like fatigue, breathlessness, brain fog, and poor concentration.
Supports mitochondrial function and reduces inflammation.

Supported by early research and growing anecdotal evidence.

---
4. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME)

May improve energy metabolism at the cellular level.
Enhances oxygen use and reduces oxidative stress.
Helps regulate autonomic nervous system dysfunction and sleep disturbances.

---

5. Mild Traumatic Brain Injury & Post-Concussion Syndrome

Enhances oxygen delivery to brain tissue affected by injury.
May support neuroplasticity and reduce symptoms such as:
Headaches
Mental fog
Poor focus or memory

Mild HBOT has shown promise in recovery from sports concussions and non-acute head injuries.

---

6. Anxiety, Stress & Sleep Disorders

Improves oxygenation of the brain, promoting calm and cognitive balance.
May regulate nervous system response (sympathetic/parasympathetic balance).
Often improves sleep quality and depth, especially in stress-related insomnia.

---

7. Athletic Recovery & Sports Injuries

Speeds up recovery from training fatigue, sprains, tendonitis, and joint injuries.
Reduces inflammation and supports muscle regeneration.
Enhances endurance and reduces DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness).

Used by athletes for performance recovery and post-competition support.

---

8. Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain Conditions

May help reduce systemic inflammation and pain sensitivity.
Promotes tissue oxygenation, circulation, and lymphatic drainage.
Supports better energy and sleep patterns often disrupted in chronic pain syndromes.

---

9. Autoimmune & Inflammatory Conditions

Supports immune modulation and oxygenation in cases of:
Rheumatoid arthritis
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
Inflammatory bowel conditions (Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis)

> Not a cure, but may help reduce inflammatory flare-ups and promote remission support.

---

10. Skin Conditions & Anti-Aging Support

Improves skin cell regeneration, collagen production, and tone.

May help in mild cases of:

Rosacea
Psoriasis
Eczema
Scar reduction
Supports general skin health and vitality.

---

11. Neurological Wellness & Cognitive Decline (Mild Cases)

May improve oxygenation to areas of the brain affected by:

Mild cognitive impairment

Early-stage neurodegenerative conditions

Can support mental clarity and reduce fog in aging individuals.

> Note: Not a treatment for dementia or Alzheimer’s, but can support cognitive wellness.

---

12. Migraines & Headaches (Non-Acute)

Oxygen therapy has been reported to reduce migraine frequency and severity.
May help with vascular regulation and trigger recovery.

---

13. Gut Health & Digestion

Supports healing in inflammatory gut conditions.
Improves oxygen delivery to mucosal linings, helping with repair.
May enhance the effectiveness of probiotics and gut repair protocols.

---

Summary Table

How 1.5 ATA HBOT May Help

Post-surgical healing Faster recovery, reduced swelling, improved scar healing
Cancer aftercare Tissue repair post-radiation, energy, immune support
Long COVID / chronic fatigue Improved oxygenation, energy, brain clarity
Brain fog / concussion Neuro-repair, reduced inflammation, better focus
Anxiety, stress, insomnia Nervous system regulation, better sleep
Sports recovery Muscle repair, reduced inflammation, faster recovery
Chronic pain / fibromyalgia Pain relief, improved circulation and oxygen flow
Autoimmune inflammation Immune modulation, lower flare-ups
Skin issues / anti-aging Collagen production, skin healing
Early cognitive decline Oxygen to brain, clarity, neuro-support
Migraines Vascular regulation, reduced headache frequency
Gut inflammation / IBS Mucosal healing, reduced intestinal inflammation

Important Note:

>HBOT at 1.5 ATA is not a substitute for emergency or hospital-grade treatment, but it offers powerful complementary support for healing, wellness, and recovery when integrated into a broader care plan.
