We get questions all the time and we love them! When you have a passion for making a difference in people's health and well-being like we do at Nirvana, no question is too small or too large. We've compiled this list of most asked questions from our clients, but don't hesitate to contact us if you'd like more info or details. New technology always brings new questions and to that we say, "bring it on!"
QUESTION: Why is the oxygen we breathe in normally not good enough?
ANSWER: The oxygen that we breathe only attaches to the hemoglobin in our red blood cells, which are 97.5% saturated with oxygen. The red blood cells are limited as to where they can flow in the body. The HBOT, because of the pressurization, drives the oxygen into the blood via the respiratory system, where it then completely saturates the plasma, the cerebrospinal fluid, and the lymph fluid. These fluids then take the oxygen to where it would never get to otherwise, thus starting a healing process where there would be NONE!
QUESTION: What will I notice the most I start feeling the effects from my Hyperbaric Oxygen Sessions?
ANSWER: Beyond the powerful healing capability that is most noticed by our chronically ill patients, our life-enhancement, healing and anti-aging clients most notice...
- Sleep improves dramatically
- Brain fog goes away
- Ability to focus
- Skin glows with good health
- Aches and pains disappear
- Inflammation disappears
- Strength improves (We have done our own research with athletes on this and we have found that over 7 to 10 treatments and athlete will become 18% to 25% stronger than they were before the treatments and that is without any training during that period)
- Energy level increases
- Feelings of great well being because the oxygen stimulates the brain and gets a very quick reaction
QUESTION: If I do ten sessions in the chamber, how long would those good effects last? When would I need to think about doing another session to maintain the good effects?
ANSWER: Ten sessions in the hyperbaric chamber for the average person may start a healing and rejuvenation process that does not stop when the 10 treatments end. How long one continues to experience the healing and rejuvenation effects varies significantly with each individual and how hard a lifestyle they lead. We suggest to the average person without any serious health issues that they do 3 or 4 sessions in a row in 3 to 4 months after the initial treatment period is over. We also suggest to patients that in lieu of HBOT maintenance treatments that they get started on our exercise with oxygen therapy "EWOT" program which also provides powerful hyper-oxygenation. If we are dealing with a person that has more serious health issues, it will take more than 10 treatments to obtain the desired results. In general, if a person is rundown and in need of rejuvenation, the effects typically blossom around treatment 5 to 7.
QUESTION: Are there any studies that address potential long term benefits to hyperbarics?
ANSWER: Please refer to our scholarly research page:
QUESTION: Are there any side effects from Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
ANSWER: "Ears" are usually the one thing new patients notice the most. People have to clear their ears multiple times during pressurization. We always ask, "do you have any ear problems?" If you do, we don't treat you until the problem is resolved. When we start a new patient on HBOT, we always pressurize very slowly to start and are constantly watching for any signs of discomfort. If you experience discomfort, we stop the pessurization (even reducing the pressure) and begin presurizing even slower. In most all cases, this prevents any issues and the ears will almost always adjust within a few treatments.
QUESTION: Is there any dizziness or weakness after a session or do I pop out of the chamber feeling good to go?
ANSWER: No, there is no dizziness or weakness associated with an HBOT treatment, however, HBOT is a cumulative therapy so people often do not notice a great change after one treatment. It's typical for it to take 4 or 5 treatments before the benefits exponentially take off for the average person. What we've found is that combining therapies can speed up the benefits. Our standard combo is HBOT followed by a 30 minute sauna. We can make that even better by adding a medical massage or one of our other therapies to the combo.
QUESTION: A doctor needs to prescribe HBOT, what's the best way to get that done?
ANSWER: When you become a new patient, we have you meet with our staff medical doctor for a thorough evaluation to make sure that HBOT is right for you and then our doctor discusses and then prescribes a treatment plan for you.
