IS OXYGEN THERAPY RIGHT FOR ME?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a medical therapy that enhances the body’s natural healing process by breathing in 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber. It’s used as a treatment for a wide variety of medical conditions and is usually a part of an overall medical care plan.

By providing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, HBOT delivers 10-15 times more oxygen to your body’s tissues than they would usually absorb when you breathe normally. The increase in oxygen supply during an HBOT treatment allows for multiple benefits.

THE BENEFITS:

Improved rate of healing

Decreases swelling and inflammation

Increases the body’s ability to fight infection

Promotes new blood vessel growth

Mobilizes stem cell growth Stem cells provide new cells for the body as it grows and replaces specialized cells that are damaged or lost.

“I just wanted to thank the wonderful staff at MVS Wound Care & Hyperbarics for all that you did for me through the hyperbaric diving and wound care. When I landed on your doorstep I was in need of treatment I was not receiving and answers to questions. I received both through MVS Wound Care & Hyperbarics. Dr. Orlando is an excellent care provider for wounds along with all the wound care nurses in Rosedale. The hyperbaric techs were all very efficient at their jobs with the chamber. Lastly, big thanks to Dr. Raymundo for her professional guidance in Glen Burnie.

Overall, my experience was a “10” on a 1-10 scale. My wound is closed now. My radiation damaged tendons are showing signs of revival with movement. To say the least, I’m grateful for people who understand wounds and how to heal them.”
