Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
HBOT Benefits
- Reduce inflammation – decreased joint pain
- Increase activity level
- Improve sleep
- Decrease need for standard rheumatic medications (reduce effects of immunosuppression)
- Repair damaged tissues
- Stabilize immunologic function
- Strengthen body’s resistance for eliminating pathogenic factors

Lyme Disease
HBOT Benefits
Ameliorate Neurological Conditions
- Decreases neuroinflammation
- Enhances short-term memory
- Reduces chronic fatigue
- Improves concentration
- Ameliorates chronic headaches
- Lessens depression
- Moderates insomnia

Increase Mobility
- Diminishes inflammatory-related arthritic pain
