This study demonstrates the advantages of utilizing hyperbaric oxygen therapy following fracture injuries. The authors used a 6 week hyperbaric intensive protocol consisting of 30 sessions at 2.0 ATA. The outcome showed showed accelerated fracture healing with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. In addition, there was a higher amount of type 1 collagen tissue, leading to stronger healing of the fracture <view study> Read Less

It is very well known in the hyperbaric medical community that the addition of hyperbaric oxygen therapy will help to sensitize insulin levels; thereby effectively reducing blood sugar levels. For obese and diabetic patients, the ability to control their blood sugars is vital.

Researchers in this study demonstrated that "Peripheral insulin sensitivity was increased following HBOT in overweight or obese males with and without type 2 diabetes; this increase was maintained for at least 30 minutes post HBOT" <view study>

Both growth hormone and hyperbaric oxygen therapy have been shown to increase growth factors and improve healing. This animal study looked at the effects of both, individually and combined, following surgery for ischemic colonic anastomoses. Combined therapy resulted in a favorable therapeutic effect on healing <view study> Read Less
