Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
(HBOT)
We are excited to announce a new addition to the North of New Zealand! The Bay of Islands now has its own professional hard shell Hyperbaric Chamber, right in the heart of Kerikeri.
​
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a cutting-edge treatment used for chronic systemic illnesses and neurological conditions.
Our European-designed hard shell HBOT chambers, also known as Hyperbaric Chambers, can reach pressures up to 2.0 ATA, or 200% of the atmospheric pressure at sea level. These chambers deliver oxygen with up to 95% purity, ensuring optimal therapeutic benefits.
​
Research shows that increased pressure reduces inflammation, and any oxygen concentration delivered under heightened pressure (above 1.0 ATA) enhances the amount of oxygen dissolved in the body’s extracellular fluids, including lymphatic, plasma, cerebrospinal, and interstitial fluids.
​
Discuss with your doctor how an HBOT session can help you. Your treatment at Oyaburn Kerikeri will be guided by our professional team, ensuring a safe and effective experience.
What
are the benefits
of
HBOT?
(Hyperbaric oxygen therapy)
-
Athlete Recovery: HBOT helps athletes by reducing lactic acid levels, fatigue, inflammation, and swelling, speeding up recovery time. Regular use can boost stamina, blood flow, and mental focus.
-
Cancer Treatment: HBOT can be an important part of a complementary cancer treatment program. It increases blood oxygen levels, making cancer cells more susceptible to treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy. This can lead to greater decreases in tumor size and improved survival rates. Additionally, HBOT helps heal tissues damaged by radiation therapy, reducing side effects and improving overall recovery.
-
Preventative Therapy: HBOT offers long-term health benefits as a preventive measure. By improving oxygen delivery, it helps prevent damage that can lead to stroke, heart attack, Alzheimer’s, cancer, and dementia.
-
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) or Head Injury: Increased oxygen supports healing in the brain’s white matter, aiding recovery from head injuries, strokes, accidents, and dementia.
-
Enhanced Immune System: Hyperbaric therapy boosts stem cells, endothelial growth factors, and enhances white blood cells’ ability to fight infections.
-
Collagen Growth: Regular sessions promote skin health and longevity by stimulating collagen production.
-
Wound Healing: Improved blood flow and continuous oxygen delivery through microcirculation encourage faster healing and increased resistance to infections.
-
Infections: Higher oxygen levels can prevent wound infections and reduce infection rates.
