Crush Injury

Benefits from Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can be beneficial for crush injuries by improving oxygenation to damaged tissues, reducing inflammation and swelling, promoting tissue healing, and minimizing the risk of complications such as infection. The increased oxygen levels delivered during HBOT help enhance cellular metabolism, leading to improved tissue repair and regeneration. HBOT also aids in reducing edema and inflammation, which can contribute to pain reduction and improved mobility. Additionally, HBOT supports the body's immune system, aiding in the prevention and treatment of infections that may arise from crush injuries.
