Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that attacks joints, causing swelling, stiffness, fatigue, weight loss, redness, and eventually can lead to bone erosion. Osteoarthritis (OA) creates inflammation and pain within joints from wear and tear. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be extremely helpful for RA and OA by its ability to reduce acute and chronic inflammation through its effect on pro and anti-inflammatory gene expression, improving plasma oxygen up to 1200% to saturate joint tissues with healing energy from oxygen, enhancing fibroblast production that repairs joint tissue while improving flexibility of ligaments, improving brain function that allows for cortical inhibition of pain, increasing stem cell production up to 800% for healing, and modulating immune function.
