Sports & Hyperbarics
Injuries caused by sports-related activities remain a substantial concern with players, coaches, and parents alike. Hyperbaric therapy is being utilized by elite athletes and their physicians to help reach a full recovery from injuries and optimize overall performance.
Hyperbaric therapy has been shown to enhance and accelerate healing, improve athletic performance through its effects on mitochondrial function, reduce overall inflammation, and repair and regenerate tissues. It has become widely used in acute injury, injury prevention, chronic injury treatment, and performance optimization.
One of the other key benefits of hyperbaric therapy is the potential to accelerate recovery. Studies have shown that athletes who incorporate hyperbaric therapy into their training experienced faster recovery rates. This is particularly beneficial for high level athletes who need to return to peak performance as quickly as possible.
The use of Hyperbarics is also being studied with promising benefits in the treatment of concussion and post-concussion syndrome. The delivery of oxygen to the damaged tissues can help promote healing, by increasing blood flow and oxygen to the damaged areas of the brain.
