Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Sioux Falls

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, often shortened to HBOT, is the use of pure oxygen delivered at pressures above normal atmospheric levels. You breathe pure oxygen inside a pressurized chamber, which increases the amount of oxygen your blood and tissues can absorb. Under pressure, oxygen dissolves directly into your plasma and reaches tissues that ordinary breathing cannot fully supply. The chamber at Divinity is a hard-shell unit. Hard-shell chambers reach higher pressures than the soft-shell portable units often found in wellness settings, which are generally limited to much lower pressures. If you are exploring hyperbaric oxygen for a specific clinical reason, the type of chamber is worth asking about.
