Here are the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions . .
.
How will I feel during and after the treatment?
Generally, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a relaxing experience – in fact most
people drift off to sleep. Your body will be detoxing and this is normal.
However, some people may experience minor symptoms associated with detoxing
after the treatment.
Following your first few sessions, you may experience fatigue as the body
sweeps itself clear of toxic debris that has built up in the body. This is safe
and normal during the healing process.
Alternatively, you may feel more alert, awake and energised with no detox
symptoms - it will depend on your own body.
What does it feel like in the chamber?
You may feel a change of pressure in your ears, similar to the sensation of
descending in an aircraft or diving deep in a pool. During treatment you may
feel slightly warm whilst the chamber is pressuring, comfortable when the
chamber is at pressure and slightly cool as it depressurises. Your heart rate and
blood pressure will settle as the pressure increases helping you to relax.
Is Mild Hyperbaric Therapy Safe?
Yes, it is safe for every body - from the very young to the elderly. There
have been no known side effects reported for Mild Hyperbaric Therapy
Are there any side effects?
Not at all, it is completely comfortable and safe. Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen
Therapy has many healing and therapeutic benefits. The chamber can be utilised
without the danger of oxygen toxicity. And as it is completely safe, can be
combined with most other therapies without the side effects associated with some
treatments.
How long is a session?
Sessions usually last an hour, however you can use the chamber for much
longer without any adverse effects. After each session you can carry on with
your day as normal – there are no restrictions.
What should I wear?
You will be fully clothed during treatment and it is important that you
relax, so wear something loose and comfortable.
Will I feel restricted in the chamber?
Not at all. Our state of the art chambers are spacious and comfortable and
provide healing oxygen therapy in the most comfortable environment possible. The
increased level of oxygen promotes a deep sense of relaxation. One hour in this
oxygen rich environment is equivalent to four hours of quality sleep.
What can I use in the chamber?
Whilst in the chamber, you can listen to your favourite music, meditate, read
a book, use your mobile phone or laptop or simply relax...and breathe in the
benefits. If you are sharing the chamber with your child, you can read a book
together, play a game or watch a DVD - kids just love it!
How many sessions will I need?
It is difficult to know how many sessions will be needed to heal an injury or
manage an illness as this may depend on the extent of the injury or the time a
chronic disease has been present. Daily sessions will enable the body to gain a
threefold increase in the rate of healing. Your therapist will discuss your
lifestyle and health goals before any treatment is commenced.
After treatment, occasional oxygen therapy treatments are recommended to
ensure that oxygen levels remain optimum.
Does health insurance cover Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
It depends on the individual therapy provider. If the therapy is prescribed
by your physician, some insurance providers will reimburse for hyperbaric
therapy. However, things are rapidly changing and the more people who start
requesting it to be covered, the sooner everyone can get better coverage.
