You haven’t heard about it yet because its availability is very new to the public in the U.S. But, soon it will become the buzz! You will begin to hear of it more and more! There are only about 1000 clinical monoplace chambers in the entire country, and there are only about 100 multiplace chambers that are mainly in hospitals, so most doctors only know Hyperbarics Medicine to be the medicine for divers accidents. With so few chambers, most are still unfamiliar with all its clinical uses, so it has not been immediately presented as an option for clinical outpatients. Due to the lack of public awareness of HBO therapy, patients didn’t know to ask for it, and if a hospital had a chamber, it was made available only for inpatients that needed it for wound care. That is until recently!

Countries all over the globe have been utilizing it for years. It is prescribed as a therapy for many diseases and injuries! In Russia, it is an indicated protocol of care for 73 ailments. But here in the U.S. there is no real “patent” for Oxygen, so the evidential studies, which are normally funded by pharmaceutical companies, who mainly perform them to launch a new drug, have been limited. Medicare now only indicates it for 14 ailments, but the numbers are increasing as more studies prove its efficacy. The evidence of HBOT’s healing affect is proven in controlled studies by forward thinking doctors in the U.S. for decades. We have to thank and mention two of them here, specifically, Dr. Richard Neubauer, and Dr. William Maxfield, who is one of our Medical Directors. Similar findings in studies done in European countries concur with their findings as well as the studies done by the U.S. Navy and Air Force.
