At Oxygen Health Clinics, the health and comfort of our patients are our key priorities. Just as everyone is different and we all develop different ailments and medical conditions, treatments of HBOT at Oxygen Health Clinics are based on every patients’ individual needs.
Prior to any treatment being undertaken, every one of our patients is guided through an orientation session with our specially trained medical staff. These sessions provide information on everything which can be expected and allows an opportunity for our patients to get to know our professional and caring staff and have any questions they may have answered.
In addition, our Hyperbaric Medical Specialist will undertake a full review of each patient’s medical history and assess current medical conditions.
While hyperbaric oxygen therapies are recognised as an extremely beneficial adjunctive therapy, it is not for everyone and only patients for whom we believe our treatments are suitable will be granted access to our program. For instance, people with pacemakers or a collapsed lung (pneumothorax) should not receive hyperbaric oxygen therapies.
Depending on how our HBOT Medical Director believes we can help, a personalised healing management plan will be prescribed for each patient to ensure we provide you the most beneficial healing treatment plan possible.
Every patient will receive attentive care from our team of expertly trained nurses who remain in direct visual and audio contact throughout every treatment.
The non-invasive nature of HBOT treatments means that all our patients do is lay back on a comfortable mattress, pillows and blanket and just relax and let the highly concentrated oxygen enter all parts of your body simply through your normal breathing.
Like when you are taking-off or landing in an aeroplane, you will feel the shift in pressure in your ear drums which is easily managed by chewing, swallowing or pinching your nose and closing the mouth and trying to breathe out through the nose. Our friendly nursing staff will help your learn everything you need to manage this easily.
At our clinic, we have up to four of the world’s most contemporary, spacious and comfortable monoplace hyperbaric chambers (simlar to the ones pictured above). Our patients lay comfortably within their own private chamber for a 90 minute period while 100% pure oxygen is gradually administered and the pressure gently raised to the required level (levels will vary according to the types of conditions/diagnose being treated). Being carefully monitored throughout the treatment by our staff, patients simply relax, read a book, watch a movie, listen to music, or sleep and let the regenerative therapy occur as the body absorbs the pure oxygen. Nursing staff will be at hand at all times to ensure your comfort throughout. Many patients describe the treatments as very pleasurable.
The amount of treatments required during a program will vary determined by each patient’s conditions and/or diagnoses and the expert advice by our Hyperbaric Medical Specialist (for instance, a program to treat radiation burns may require 40 treatments, while a program for a crush injury may require as few as 3 treatments).
