Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for PTSD Support

Overview

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can follow exposure to severe trauma, affecting military personnel, firefighters, police officers, rescue workers, and civilians alike. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) delivers 100% oxygen at increased pressure to enhance brain healing, reduce inflammation, and restore neurological balance for lasting relief.

Key Benefits of HBOT for PTSD

• Reduces Neuroinflammation: Lowers pro-inflammatory cytokines that exacerbate trauma responses.
• Promotes Neuroplasticity: Stimulates new neural connections to help rewire trauma-related pathways.
• Improves Sleep & Reduces Nightmares: Enhances restorative sleep by balancing brain chemistry.
• Decreases Anxiety & Hypervigilance: Calms the autonomic “fight-or-flight” response.
• Balances Neurotransmitters: Supports healthy levels of serotonin, GABA, and endorphins for mood stability.
• Enhances Cognitive Clarity: Improves memory recall and focus by boosting cerebral oxygenation.
• Regulates Stress Hormones: Helps normalize cortisol levels for a more stable stress response.
• Encourages Relaxation: The quiet, pressurized environment fosters a meditative, calming effect.

*HBOT for PTSD is an off-label use and should be provided under the supervision of a qualified hyperbaric medicine physician as part of a comprehensive trauma recovery plan.
