You may think of hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a relatively new medical therapy, but it actually has roots in the 1600s. While our researchers have been diving deep (pun intended) into HBOT research for nearly two decades, there have been many advancements in hyperbaric science by other physicians and scientists for centuries.

Imagine trying to keep up with the demands of adolescence and young adulthood while struggling with brain fog, fatigue, nerve pain or any of the other 200+ debilitating symptoms associated with of long COVID stacked on top of it. Although many of us think children and young adults aren't as susceptible to long COVID, a 2023 study from George Washington University proves it may be more common than we believe. The study showed that of the school's 1,338 COVID-19 cases, 36% experienced long COVID symptoms. Other general estimates for young people with long COVID vary widely from 4% to 25%. Regardless of how many are impacted, the neurological, physical and cardiovascular symptoms can cause devastating impacts as students head back to school this fall. Research is ongoing, and there is hope for recovery: https://ow.ly/ISZ450SUVMX #AvivClinics #LongCOVID #PostCOVID

Are you aiming for "normal" when you should be going for "beyond normal"?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is one of the best tools to aid in surgery prep and recovery. All surgeries result in wounds that need healing, and HBOT optimizes tissue oxygenation before surgery and accelerates wound healing afterward. Bob is one such example of HBOT's efficacy in surgical recovery. He's prepped and recovered with HBOT for a rotator cuff and a knee surgery, and he did one rotator cuff without HBOT. Bob says the recovery processes and return to normalcy were remarkably different. Why can HBOT help? 🔹Decreases swelling and inflammation, promoting faster recovery 🔹Enhances oxygen availability, so injured tissue gets a boost of oxygen, aiding healing 🔹Promotes collagen synthesis, so fibroblasts thrive, reducing scar tissue formation 🔹Boosts antibiotic efficacy and enhances leukocyte oxidative killing, reducing infection risk Would you consider HBOT for you or your patients to accelerate surgical healing?
