In this therapy, the horse is
placed into a chamber, where it receives oxygen at substantially
higher than normal atmospheric pressure. It increases oxygen
saturation in the bloodstream and therefore into the body's tissues.
This enhances the body's ability to heal itself, bolsters the
effects of antibiotics, and reduces the recovery time from surgery,
infection, illness or injury.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is especially indicated for assisting
healing and speeding recovery from:
- Wound Healing
- Infections (aerobic & anaerobic)
- Osteomyelitis
- Infertility
- Laminitis
- Tendonitis
- Soft Tissue Edema
- Respiratory Conditions
- Necrotizing Infections
