How HBOT Heals Radiation Damaged Tissue
Radiation therapy is an essential component of cancer treatment, however it can cause long term side effects that affect the body months to years after Radiation Therapy ends. Over time irradiated tissues become starved of oxygen, inflamed and scarred leading to tight and hard tissue.
The Solution: HBOT restores tissue oxygen levels and stimulates the body’s innate healing ability to mobilize stem cells, grow new blood vessels and control inflammation.
