HOW HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY WORKS
TA is a term used to define the amount of pressurization used within a Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber and refers to “Atmospheres” of pressure. For example, 1 ATA is about the same pressure as being 10 feet under
water, 1.5 ATA is about the same as about 15 feet under water. In most
cases , studies have also shown 1.3 to 1.5 ATA to be the “sweet
spot” for most people’s needs, without many of the risks of higher
pressures above 1.5 ATA.
It also relates to the delivery of oxygen to the body under hyperbaric
pressures. The term “hyperbaric” literally means high pressure.
Oxygen under pressure can be forced into blood plasma. Since the hemoglobin of the red blood cells are already 98% saturated, the only place the additional oxygen can go, is in the plasma. So, oxygen saturation of the tissues is considerably enhanced with the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
As the oxygen molecules are compressed and saturate the blood plasma, the body’s ability to perfrom its functions is significantly enhanced. It can manage oxidative stresses (caused by the stress hormone cortizol) over 7x as effectively, due to the cells being ‘supercharged’ with oxygen. When this happens, the body can function at a higher level and many aspects of health have been documented to not only improve, but actually excel. From healing to recovery, disease management to superior athletic performance, hyperbaric therapy is a well established treatment that helps millions worldwide.
