Seattle Oxygen Therapy
Oxygen Therapy for Accelerated Healing
Oxygen plays an essential role in the proper function of our bodies, and even though we know that we can not live without it, most people don’t realize the potential of this nutrient. Oxygen can:
- slow the aging of cells
- relieve headaches
- raise energy levels
- increase endurance
- reduce stress
- strengthen the immune system
Oxygen is one of the body’s basic building blocks. All of the body’s major components – water, protein, carbohydrate, and fat – contain oxygen. Oxygen helps bring about certain chemical reactions within the body that result in energy production. Energy is needed for functions such as circulation, respiration, and digestion. Energy is also used to maintain a constant body temperature. A diminished supply of oxygen causes multiple symptoms, some of which are mental disturbances, shortness of breath, rapid pulse, a fall in blood pressure, cyanosis, and a blueness of the skin among other things. This results in a marked reduction in all bodily functions, a condition known as hypoxia, or under-oxygenation of the tissues.
Oxygen Therapy & Spinal Decompression
We use Oxygen Therapy along with the Spinal Decompression in order to maximize the effects of treatment. While Decompression creates a vacuum in the spaces between the discs in the spine, the oxygen-rich blood can easily flow to the injured tissue. This process makes our therapy more effective, and speeds up healing.
Oxygen Therapy for Seattle Athletes
Professional athletes find many benefits from oxygen therapy, especially when they there is a sports-related injury. Healing takes place faster with oxygen therapy as the oxygen saturates muscles and cells throughout the body and the healing process starts. Sports professionals aren’t the only ones that find health benefits through oxygen treatments. The most advanced hospitals have added hypobaric chambers that increase oxygen levels in the blood thus expediting the healing process. Call today for more information.
