This is a method of treatment with an oxygen-air mixture with a high oxygen content (up to 30%) and a slight increased air pressure. It is carried out in hyperbaric and portable pressure chambers.
The new technique is devoid of the disadvantages of traditional oxygen therapy methods and significantly surpasses them in clinical effectiveness. It is especially important to restore normal oxygen delivery to the brain and kidneys, where there is a self-regulation mechanism that protects against excessive oxygen supply that can destroy cell membranes, but there is no oxygen depot, as in muscles. With cerebral ischemia, the phenomenon of non-restored blood circulation develops, contributing to the acceleration of brain cell death and the development of neurodegenerative diseases: atherosclerosis, dementia, and Parkinsonism. Studies have shown that therapeutic pressure is indispensable for restoring normal blood flow and self-regulation of oxygen supply to the brain.
Oxygen starvation (hypoxia) often leads to severe consequences for human health. Signs of oxygen deficiency in the blood and tissues include dizziness and headaches, decreased performance, sleep disorders, seizures, and depression.
The causes of hypoxia can be poor environmental conditions, bad habits, insufficient exposure to fresh air, and physical inactivity.
During the coronavirus pandemic, barotherapy is actively used during rehabilitation after a disease, contributing to the successful recovery of respiratory organs.
To eliminate and prevent oxygen starvation, the method of treatment in a pressure chamber is used. Now this unique technique has become available to the entire population of the country.
When is barotherapy indicated?
The physiotherapy procedure is based on exposure to oxygen at high or low atmospheric pressure. Oxygen entering cells and tissues restores their activity and serves as a preventive measure for many diseases.
During the procedure, the patient is placed in a pressure chamber. During the session, the person does not experience pain or negative sensations, except for a slight blockage of the ears in the first few minutes, when there is an increase in blood pressure.
Indications:
- pathologies of the cardiovascular system, arterial hypertension, rehabilitation period after heart attacks or strokes
- skin diseases
- disorders of the nervous and endocrine system
- chronic autoimmune diseases, Parkinson's disease
- sleep disorders, depressive states
- diseases of the digestive system and musculoskeletal system
- chronic respiratory diseases, asthma, bronchitis
- metabolic disorders, menopause
- caisson disease (an occupational disease of divers), a period of recovery after poisoning or working in environmentally unfavorable conditions
Barotherapy is successfully used in the prevention of premature aging and deterioration of the body. Oxygen deficiency negatively affects the condition of human skin and hair. Therapeutic procedures in the pressure chamber help to eliminate fine wrinkles, restore facial relief, and give the skin elasticity and freshness.
Barotherapy as a preventive procedure is indicated for patients with an increased risk of heart attack or stroke, people with increased weather sensitivity, and during rehabilitation after infectious diseases.
Results of barotherapy
Oxygen exposure has a restorative effect, reduces the risk of developing allergies, strengthens the immune system, protects the body from the negative effects of aggressive environmental factors, and normalizes the patient's psycho-emotional state.
Among the positive results of the therapeutic technique, there are also:
- rapid recovery after long-term illnesses, including bronchopulmonary diseases, viral or bacterial pneumonia;
- normalization of blood pressure;
- getting rid of headaches, dizziness, and chronic fatigue syndrome;
- improving endurance and improving performance;
- relief of swelling, pain, inflammation and other signs of diseases of the musculoskeletal system;
- improved memory and concentration;
- slowing down the aging of the body
- improving the condition of skin, hair and nails
Therapeutic procedures are indicated not only for patients, but also for healthy people. This technique has a small number of contraindications: infectious diseases in the acute period, epilepsy, claustrophobia.
The session usually lasts 45-60 minutes. To increase the effectiveness of the procedure during its implementation, it is recommended to be in a relaxed state. The doctor determines the number and duration of sessions.
Contraindications:
- Acute colds of the upper respiratory tract
- Severe forms of hypertension
- Obstruction of the eustachian tubes
- The presence of closed air cavities of the lungs
- Availability of an electronic heart stimulator, as well as other implanted medical equipment
- Mental illness, epilepsy
- Multiple brain metastases
- Hypoglycemia
