How Does Hot Therapy Work?
Hbot Therapy Colorado Springshas become the talk of the medical world recently. It is one of the most recent developments in emergency medicine. Hot therapy is a non-invasive, pharmacological, low-pressure treatment that uses medical grade nitrous oxide and medical grade medical gases to rapidly administer medical care during emergencies. It is a painless emergency relief method that delivers a safe, gentle flow of nitrous oxide gas with a continuous flow into the lungs.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is essentially emergency medical care where an elevated pressure over pure air is an essential component. Medical professionals use hyperbaric oxygen therapy to deliver a stream of high-pressure, low-pressure, dry oxygen via pressurized air to the tissues. This delivery of oxygen provides instant, safe treatment for critical injuries, illnesses, and diseases. This treatment method delivers oxygen in much higher doses than that delivered in normal atmospheric conditions, and this can be life-saving if an emergency strikes.
The system was initially developed for the U.S military where it was used for wounds that were in need of quick and potentially painless treatment. Over the last few years, Hbot therapy has seen increased use in a variety of other situations including brain surgery, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Hbot is also commonly referred to as hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) or oxygen driven Therapy.
A major advantage of hbot therapy is that it delivers oxygen throughout the body without damaging the blood vessels or air sacs. This means there is no significant rise in blood pressure or heart rate as is the case with many conventional methods of oxygen delivery. This is why hbot is often called a "cogent" delivery system. The hyperbaric chamber reduces blood pressure and heart rate to normal levels, while simultaneously improving the blood and oxygen circulation throughout the body.
There are many Hbot treatments available for different purposes. Patients can choose to have the chamber pre-filled with a specific medication or to go into the chamber on their own. The pre-filled unit usually requires only a few minutes for insertion and only a few hours for recovery. Patients are free to leave the clinic at any time and with no restrictions on when they return.
While at Hbot, patients can expect to undergo more complete physical therapy than would be possible with more conventional procedures. This is because the chambers allow for complete removal of the dust and surface contaminants from the air surrounding the patient. In traditional therapy, therapists must remove the air and dispose of it elsewhere. The chambers allow for easy transport of the contaminated air and surface contaminants to a different air processing facility. There are even no-clean air chambers available at the Hbot clinic. This allows patients to skip the cleansing step of standard therapy and return to normal activities immediately after the procedure.
High-frequency sound waves permeate the skin during the administration of Hbot therapy. When placed over an area of the body, the high-frequency waves encourage blood flow to that area and increase blood pressure. When the pressure in the blood increases, it pulls the fluid through the veins and blood vessels in the body, which raises the heart rate. This stimulation of the heart promotes healing in the damaged areas. Over time, the therapy will have a beneficial effect on the overall health of the patient.
Hot therapy is an innovative medical procedure that is being used to replace conventional wound care methods. Patients can experience increased healing speed with no post-operative pain, fewer post-operative visits to the emergency room, and decreased healthcare costs. This type of laser treatment is not recommended for all patients with serious medical conditions, but those who have passed the initial evaluation process are ideal candidates. For individuals who suffer from chronic health ailments, hyperbaric chambers may be an effective alternative to conventional wound care.
