Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy • When indicated Dr. Steenblock prescribes a When indicated Dr. Steenblock prescribes a

course of HBOT. This is oxygen given under course of HBOT. This is oxygen given under pressure in a HBO chamber. This treatment pressure in a HBO chamber. This treatment gets oxygen into parts of the body including gets oxygen into parts of the body including the brain which reverses ischemia (blood flow the brain which reverses ischemia (blood flow is compromised) and hypoxia ( lack of is compromised) and hypoxia ( lack of oxygen). oxygen).
