Thermal Burns

Alternative Treatment for Thermal Burns

HBOT for Burns at a glance:

Burns are damage caused to body tissue by heat, chemicals, electricity, sunlight, or radiation. Burns can be among the most painful of injuries, causing swelling, blistering, scarring, and, in serious cases, shock and even death. [1] The Oxford Center clients have found HBOT to be a helpful treatment for burns. In addition, the FDA has approved thermal burns as a treatment indication of HBOT.

Our Approach to Thermal Burns

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, or HBOT, is a specialized form of medical treatment administered by delivering 100% pure oxygen to the body through increased atmospheric pressure greater than 1.3 ATA in an enclosed hard chamber.

At pressures greater than normal, the body can incorporate more oxygen into blood cells, plasma, cerebral-spinal fluid, and other bodily fluids. The increased oxygen absorption experienced during Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy significantly enhances the body’s ability to aid in its healing.
