SANTA BARBARA — The TheraMind Center of Santa Barbara is pleased to announce the expansion of its hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) services with the addition of a second mild HBOT
(mHBOT) unit designed to allow patients with movement or pain restrictions easier access and greater comfort when receiving treatment.
mHBOT is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared therapy that allows patients to breathe pure oxygen inside a flexible, soft-sided chamber under pressures approximating diving to the bottom of a 10-foot-deep swimming pool. The medical literature is replete with studies supporting HBOT and mHBOT as anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, anti-infective and promoting healing of injured tissue.
Originally used to treat mountain climbers suffering from altitude sickness, mHBOT applications have been expanded to successfully treat traumatic brain injury (TBI), concussion, inflammation and aid in post-stroke recovery. At the TheraMind Center of Santa Barbara, doctors and certified specialists use mHBOT to treat patients suffering from a broad variety of neurological disorders, including migraines, concussions, TBI, neuropathy, certain autism spectrum disorders and some behavioral conditions such as depression. Other applications include generalized immune system enhancement, treatment of neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s, early stage Alzheimer’s, dementia, memory loss, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and Lyme disease.
“My doctor recommended that I try hyperbaric therapy for some lower leg circulatory problems,” said Charles K. of Santa Barbara. “Within three weeks of commencing treatment at the TheraMind Center, the combination of hyperbaric and light therapy they used significantly improved both the appearance and feeling in my legs. Their staff was great to work with as well.”
