What is HBOT? Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment that enhances the body's natural healing process by inhalation of 100% oxygen in a total body chamber, where atmospheric pressure is increased and controlled.  It is used for a wide variety of treatments usually as a part of an overall medical care plan. 

What are the benefits of HBOT? It has long been known that healing many areas of the body cannot take place without appropriate oxygen levels in the tissue.  Most illnesses and injuries occur, and often linger, at the cellular or tissue level.  In many cases, such as: circulatory problems; non-healing wounds; and stroke, adequate oxygen cannot reach the damaged area and the body's natural healing ability is unable to function properly.  Hyperbaric oxygen therapy provides this extra oxygen naturally and with minimal side effects. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy improves the quality of life of the patient in many areas when standard medicine is not working.  Many conditions such as stroke, cerebral palsy, head injuries, and chronic fatigue have responded favorably to HBOT.

What conditions does HBOT treat? Hyperbaric oxygen is used to treat all conditions that benefit from increased tissue oxygen availability, as well as infections where it can be used for its antibiotic properties, either as the primary therapy, or in conjunction with other drugs. "HBOT is a generic treatment for wounds in the body in any location for any duration."

LSU coach Les Miles who endorses use of hyperbaric oxygen treatment is working with Dr Harch.

Dr Harch envisions hyperbaric oxygen treatment facilities one day being installed in major sports venues.

Anba Dlo is a great time for all but it's not just about the revelry, it's a way to learn and also to help support the economic revitalization of Louisiana’s neglected downtown neighborhoods, and to assist residents by providing helpful and necessary programs and services.
