Autoimmune Disease

What is an Autoimmune Disease?

An autoimmune disease occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells and tissues, leading to chronic inflammation, pain, and a wide range of health issues. Living with an autoimmune disease can be challenging, with symptoms like chronic pain, fatigue, and inflammation significantly impacting quality of life. Common autoimmune conditions include rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, and Crohn’s disease. These conditions can severely affect daily life, causing fatigue, joint stiffness, digestive problems, and more.

 

While conventional treatments like immunosuppressants and anti-inflammatory drugs can help manage symptoms, they often come with unwanted side effects and don’t address the root causes. That’s where Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) offers a promising, natural complement to existing therapies. At MD Hyperbaric, our team specializes in using HBOT to support patients with autoimmune diseases, helping reduce symptoms and potentially lessening reliance on traditional medications. By integrating HBOT into their care, patients can experience a healthier, more vibrant life.

 

Our MD Hyperbaric centers use 100% medical-grade oxygen delivered in a pressurized chamber to increase the amount of oxygen your blood carries. This boosts cellular repair, reduces inflammation, and enhances immune system regulation. For individuals with autoimmune diseases, HBOT can help calm the overactive immune response, ease chronic inflammation, and improve overall tissue health. HBOT has been shown to support mitochondrial function, reduce oxidative stress, reduce inflammation in Crohn’s disease patients and promote better circulation—all of which are crucial in helping the body recover and regulate immune function more effectively.

 

At MD Hyperbaric, we personalize every HBOT treatment plan to meet each patient’s unique needs and medical history and the number of HBOT sessions will vary based on the patient’s conditions. Our compassionate and experienced team is committed to helping you find relief and live a more vibrant, symptom-free life. If you’re living with an autoimmune disease and seeking a safe, drug-free therapy to support your healing, HBOT may be the solution.

What are the Benefits of HBOT for Autoimmune Diseases?

Choosing hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) at MD Hyperbaric offers targeted relief for autoimmune symptoms, with benefits including:

  • Enhanced healing

  • Reduced inflammation

  • Symptom relief and faster recovery

  • Increased energy and well-being

  • Stronger immune response

  • Improved mental state and quality of life

How Does HBOT Provide Relief for Autoimmune Diseases?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) offers a cutting-edge approach for managing autoimmune diseases by reducing symptoms and improving quality of life. In a high-pressure environment, the lungs absorb more oxygen, boosting blood flow and supporting key healing processes. HBOT helps reduce inflammation and enhances the body’s natural repair mechanisms, providing symptom relief and a greater sense of well-being.

A wonderful experience! This was my first time ever trying HBOT, as I recently had surgery and received a recommendation to try it to help with the recovery process. I was a bit nervous at first with worries about how I would react to ear pressure changes, but I handled it very well with no problems at all. Killian the safety tech was top notch, going over every detail with me so I would both be comfortable and not anxious in any way. I felt comfortable the whole time. The pod is not claustrophobic at all to me, and I’m someone who gets a little nervous in MRI/CT machines. I was able to read and relax and felt great the whole time. I wound up signing up for a 5 package treatment to see how I do before going in to see my surgeon for a progress update. A top of the line experience, 10 stars!

MDHyperbaric is my lifeline! I was diagnosed with leukemia around a year ago, and I have a host of inflammatory issues that seem to cause brain fog & burning joint pain. The biggest impact that HB has had for my well being is a boost in cognition/ mental clarity- and a reduction in inflammation/ aching joints. I love the team at MDHyperbaric. MDH offer great bundles of which I’ll continue to take advantage. In summary- my quality of life has been boosted exponentially- & I’m committed to continuing this therapy for the rest of my life.

Who Is a Candidate for HBOT for Autoimmune Disease?

Candidates for hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for autoimmune diseases typically include individuals whose conditions are characterized by chronic inflammation, impaired tissue healing, or compromised oxygen delivery to tissues. This may include patients with lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, or other autoimmune disorders where improved oxygenation could support cellular repair and reduce inflammation.

Autoimmune Disease FAQ

Depending on the specific condition, autoimmune diseases can target nearly any organ or tissue in the body. Some, like rheumatoid arthritis, primarily affect joints, while others, like lupus, can cause widespread inflammation and damage to multiple organs, including the skin, kidneys, and heart. Autoimmune diseases disrupt normal immune function, causing the body to mistakenly attack healthy cells. This can lead to chronic inflammation, tissue damage, and functional impairment in the affected areas.
The progression of autoimmune diseases varies widely depending on the specific condition and individual factors. Some autoimmune diseases may progress slowly, with periods of remission and flare-ups, while others can cause more rapid deterioration of affected organs or tissues. Early diagnosis and proper management are crucial in slowing disease progression and preventing irreversible damage. In some cases, lifestyle modifications, medications, and treatments like hyperbaric oxygen therapy can help control symptoms and improve quality of life.
Yes, HBOT has been shown to modulate immune function by balancing the immune response. While autoimmune diseases result from an overactive immune system attacking healthy cells, HBOT can help regulate this response, promoting a more balanced and controlled immune activity. By enhancing oxygen delivery to tissues, HBOT supports immune cells’ ability to function more efficiently without contributing to excessive inflammation, which is a hallmark of many autoimmune conditions.
