Which Sports Injuries are treated using HBOT?
HBOT is already used widely in many countries for treating crush Injuries and wound healing, especially those suffering from diabetes. As HBOT reduces swelling and enriches the body with oxygen, including the injured areas that require oxygen for healing, many sports men and women have reported a reduction in recovery time from many injuries including bone, joint, muscle, ligament, tendon and other tissue injuries.
High profile sportsmen have been treated using the SOS Hyperlite Portable Hyperbaric Chamber, showing a significantly reduced healing time. The major advantages of the Hyperlite are that it is lightweight, portable and capable of full hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The system can be taken with an individual or squad during international competitions, pre-season tours or even home and away games.
