• At Divine Elysian Wellness, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is performed using a specially crafted single occupant Hyperbaric Chamber. By having a patient breathe 100 percent oxygen while in the pressurized Hyperbaric Chamber, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy greatly increases the amount of oxygen in the patient’s blood.
• There are two basic components to Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: Increased ambient pressure(Pressure which surrounds the patient) and increased inspired(breathed) oxygen concentration.
• The goal of Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy is Hyperoxia, also known as Hyperoxygenation.
• Elevating the oxygen concentration in the bloodstream allows oxygenation of tissues that are not getting enough oxygen. This encourages new blood vessels to grow into these oxygen deprived tissues, and helps the body eliminate certain kinds of bacteria.

• Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy helps wound healing by bringing oxygen-rich plasma to tissue starved for oxygen. Wound injuries damage the body’s blood vessels, which release fluid that leaks into the tissues and causes swelling. This swelling deprives the damaged cells of oxygen, and tissue begins to die. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy reduces inflammation while flooding the tissues with oxygen. The elevated pressure in the chamber increases in the amount of oxygen in the bloodstream. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy aims to break the cycle of inflammation, oxygen starvation, and tissue necrosis(tissue death).
• Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy prevents “reperfusion injury.” A reperfusion(Or reoxygenation) injury describes the severe tissue damage that happens when the blood supply returns to the damaged or injured tissues after they have been deprived of oxygen. When blood flow is interrupted by a crush injury, for example, a series of events inside the damaged cells leads to the release of harmful oxygen radicals. These molecules can do damage to tissues that can’t be reversed and cause the blood vessels to clamp up and stop blood from flowing. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy encourages the body’s oxygen radical scavengers to seek out the problem molecules thus allowing healing to commence.
• Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy helps block the action of harmful bacteria and strengthens the body’s immune system. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can disable the toxins of certain bacteria. It also increases oxygen concentration in the tissues. This helps these tissues to resist infection. Additionally, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy improves the ability of white blood cells to find and destroy invaders.
• Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy encourages the formation of new collagen (connective tissue) and new skin cells. This is accomplished by encouraging new blood vessel formation. It also stimulates cells to produce certain substances, like vascular endothelial growth factor. These attract and stimulate endothelial cells, which are necessary for healing.

• There are 2 kinds of Hyperbaric chambers: monoplace (holds one person), and multiplace (holds multiple people at once).
• We offer the privacy and health safety of the monoplace (single occupant) version of the Hyperbaric Chamber.

By having a patient breathe 100 percent oxygen while in a pressurized chamber, hyperbaric oxygen therapy increases the amount of oxygen in the patient’s blood. This is called hyperoxia.

• The high level of oxygen in the blood allows improved oxygen delivery to tissues that are not getting enough oxygen at baseline (i.e. hypoxic tissues).
• A series of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy treatments promotes the growth of new blood vessels into the hypoxic tissues(tissues lacking oxygen), a process known as neovascularization.
• Hyperoxia enhances the body’s ability to kill certain bacteria.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has other effects, such as shrinking air bubbles in the blood or tissue (as occurs in decompression illness—also known as the bends) and lessening the effects of inflammation and reperfusion injury. The three factors above are the key to therapy for most diseases treated by Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.

There are 14 conditions that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is FDA approved to treat:

• Air or gas embolism – when gas bubbles enter arteries or veins
• Carbon monoxide poisoning – when carbon monoxide is inhaled and injuries arise as a result
• Clostridial myositis and myonecrosis – a rapidly progressive infection of the soft tissue, known commonly as “gas gangrene”
• Crush injury, compartment syndrome, and other acute traumatic ischemias – injuries that result from trauma, from minor contusions to limb threatening damage
• Decompression sickness – referred to as the “bends,” is the formation of inert gas bubbles in tissue, usually caused by rapid ascent from a dive.
• Arterial insufficiencies – wounds that are not healing properly
• Severe anemia – a loss of red blood cell mass due to hemorrhage, hemolysis, or aplasia
• Intracranial abscess – an inflammation caused from infected material coming from local or remote infectious sources
• Necrotizing soft tissue infections – a rare but severe type of bacterial infection that can cause tissue death
• Osteomyelitis – an infection of bone or bone marrow
• Delayed radiation injury (soft tissue and bony necrosis) – some radiation treatments leave patients with cell damage to soft tissue (such as mouth, throat, and the gastrointestinal tract)
• Compromised grafts and flaps – when a skin graft does not heal properly
• Acute thermal burn injury – severe burns that can be treated with enhanced oxygen
• Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss – hearing loss caused by a malfunction in a certain nerve in the brain

There are several stages during a typical Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy treatment:

• The first stage is compression, in which the chamber is pressurized to the prescribed pressure , most commonly 2.4 atmospheres absolute (the equivalent of 45 feet below the surface of the ocean, i.e. 45 feet of sea water).
• The chamber is maintained at this pressure, and patients breathe 100 percent oxygen.
• You will lie comfortably in the chamber and take deep breaths in sessions that last up to 2 hours.
• After the oxygenation period is finished, the chamber is depressurized and the treatment is complete.

Your ears may feel plugged as the pressure is raised, like when you’re in an airplane or driving in high elevations. Simply swallowing or chewing gum will  help to “pop” the ears back to normal.

Your blood carries the extra oxygen throughout the body, infusing the injured tissues that need more oxygen so they can begin healing. When a session is complete, you may feel somewhat lightheaded.

A typical treatment generally lasts somewhere around 2 hours. Of course, treatments can sometimes take longer, especially if patients have difficulty clearing their ears during the pressurization phase.

The Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy session is actually very relaxing. Basically, all you have to do is lie back and take deep breaths. Typically, patients will say they feel calm, relaxed and lightheaded. There is generally no physical discomfort, with the exception of occasional ear pain and rare, but possible headaches.

Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy is a very safe treatment for those who have been medically cleared to receive it. For a list of possible side effects or complications, please see below.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a very intensive therapeutic treatment that may not be right for everyone. It should not be used by people who have had a recent ear surgery or ear trauma, a cold or fever, or certain types of lung disease. Those with a history of seizures may want to consult their physician.

As with all medical treatments, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy includes medical risks and possible side-effects. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a unique experience that may present side effects due to the significant and somewhat rapid changes in pressure inside the chamber and the high levels of oxygen employed. Most are relatively mild and self-limited, but some can be more serious.

Possible side effects:

• Claustrophobia
• Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)- Please eat before a session to avoid this.
• Possible worsening of cataracts
• Temporary worsening of myopia (near-sightedness) 

Possible complications:

• Pain in the inner ear
• Sinus pain or nosebleed
• Toothache (from dental work with air pockets)
• Seizures (in those with seizure disorders)

The number and frequency of treatments needed varies with the specific condition that is being treated. Many commonly treated conditions will be scheduled as follows: One treatment per day (5 days in a row) usually for a total of four to six weeks, until 20 to 30 treatments are administered. The medical practitioner you are working with will create a customized treatment plan designed especially for your individual needs.

The number and frequency of treatments needed varies with the specific condition that is being treated. Our medical staff will create a customized treatment plan that is refined to meet your specific needs.

There is no downtime following a Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy session. However, some patients do initially feel somewhat lightheaded and occasionally may experience a slight headache. In some instances the patient may have a slight earache.   

Most patients find that they feel renewed and ready to live life to the fullest. You will be able to go directly back to work and any other normal life activities following a Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy treatment session.

Absolutely! Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy will not interfere with your life plans in any way. In fact, it will most likely dramatically improve your overall experience of life.

10 pass Ozone Infusion Therapy provides the maximum amount of Ozone possible in a wellness treatment. Each pass, or infusion of ozone into the blood, infuses more Ozone into the bloodstream, with a typical treatment utilizing 10 passes.

Once positioned comfortably in one of our beautiful treatment rooms, your blood is drawn, infused with ozone, and returned to the body(One Pass). After ten passes, you will achieve maximum treatment effectiveness.

This is actually a very comfortable procedure as you are able to simply lie back and relax as the blood is drawn, infused with ozone and returned to your body multiple times. 

The entire process usually takes around an hour, and you will be accompanied by the treatment nurse at all times.

Results vary depending on the health concerns which brought you in for treatment. Some health issues are more challenging to treat than others and will require more treatments for optimal results.

Typically, after a series of treatments, the patient will begin to feel revitalized, with a greater sense of good health and well being.

Although it is recommended that patients do the full course of 10 passes when receiving Ozone Infusion Therapy, the number of passes may vary from treatment to treatment as recommended by the medical treatment provider. It is possible to get only one pass to try it out as well.

The number of passes per session and the number of sessions that will be required will be determined based on the health issues that are being treated, the overall health of the patient and the reaction to the treatments as they progress

• Alzheimer’s
• Arthritis
• Autoimmune and auto-inflammatory conditions
• Bacterial infections
• Cancer
• Chronic fatigue syndrome
• Constipation
• Depression
• Infectious Diseases
• Lyme disease
• Mood issues
• Parkinson’s Disease
• Sleep Issues
• Vertigo

Ozone Infusion Therapy is also tremendously effective at reversing the signs of aging both internally and externally.

For Best Results, we recommend a series of Ozone Infusion Treatments preceded and accompanied by our NAD+ IV Infusion Therapy. For more on NAD+ IV INfusion Therapy see: https://divineelysianwellness.com/vitamin-nad-iv-therapy#nad-iv-therapy
