Oxygen given with increased pressure can correct many serious health problems. To provide this increased pressure one must be within a pressurized room, a Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber. Under normal circumstances, only the red blood cells carry oxygen. However, because HBOT forces oxygen into the body under pressure, Oxygen dissolves into all of the body’s fluids, including the plasma, the Lymph, the cerebrospinal fluids surrounding the brain and spinal cord. These fluids can carry the extra oxygen even to areas where circulation is poor or blocked, either by trickling past the blockages or by seeping into the affected area. |

Of the 30% diabetics will develop foot problems related to the disease. Diabetic foot conditions develop from a combination of causes including poor circulation and neuropathy which can also present itself as relentless burning, tingling or numbness in the feet. The problem with neuropathy is multifaceted. With lack of sensation on the bottom of the diabetic foot, diabetics are at more risk for stepping on something, such as a broken piece of glass in the kitchen, and not even knowing it. Preventing foot complications is more critical for the diabetic patient because poor circulation impairs the healing process and can lead to ulcers, infection, and other serious foot conditions. In fact, diabetes is the major factor in over 50 percent of amputations performed in the United States each year. |
