Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
At The Dearing Clinic in Nashville, our integrative medicine team takes a personalized approach to patient wellness. We use a medical grade hyperbaric oxygen therapy (also known as HBOT) to help treat many conditions, including Long-Haul COVID, Crohn’s disease, Lyme disease, autoimmune disorders, ADHD, concussions, autism, mold exposure, stroke, skin wounds, chronic pain syndromes, neuropathy, and spinal cord/brain injuries. This restorative therapy can be used as either a standalone treatment or as an adjunct to your personal care plan.
Our medical grade hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber provides four times the pressure of a standard HBOT chamber (2.0 ATA versus the standard 0.5 ATA), meaning our patients receive a greater level of healing, especially those with neurological and/or nerve disorders. This also creates an environment that promotes anti-aging by targeting aged cells, a process known as senescent cell therapy.
What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a unique treatment that uses a special chamber to create a 100 percent oxygenated, high air pressure environment to enrich the blood with oxygen. The increased air pressure allows the lungs to collect more oxygen and forces oxygenated blood into areas of injury. This therapy accelerates healing for both acute and chronic conditions. Originally used in diving medicine to treat divers suffering from decompression sickness, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is now used to treat many conditions.
