Dr. Darin Dunnagan, DC has two hyperbaric chambers in Montrose and residents across the region are seeing positive results with this noninvasive mild hyperbaric therapy. Here’s a little information about the therapy that has been beneficial to so many.
What is mild hyperbaric therapy?
Mild hyperbaric therapy (HBT) is a safe method of delivering more oxygen to the body. Having more oxygen in the blood stream and other body fluids allows the body to heal itself faster than it would without the extra oxygen. HBT uses filtered pressurized air to dissolve oxygen directly into body fluids, flooding tissues and vital organs with oxygen. Mild hyperbaric therapy allows for healing at the cellular level, which is critical for changes to be made, which in turn affect healthy tissue formation, making it possible for healthier organs and ultimately a healthier body. The sessions lasts around 60 minutes, and while inside the chamber, you can talk on the phone, watch a movie, take a nap, or even read a book.
What are the risks?
Though no dangerous side effects have been reported with mHBT, you should not go into the chamber if you are inebriated (drunk), if you have ear canal problems or an ear infection, or if you have flu or cold symptoms.
