Hyperbaric oxygen treatment is used for a wide variety of medical conditions. While the FDA approves hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) for just over a dozen conditions, it has shown success in helping with so many more, including men’s health issues.
By age 60, it is estimated that half the men in this country will have some sort of prostate issue. Whether it’s prostatitis, or inflammation of the prostate, up to prostate cancer. One of the main benefits of HBOT, which provides pure oxygen under pressure, is reducing inflammation. At Swanson Hyperbarics, we can use HBOT in combination with other therapies like PEMF or the HOCATT to help with inflammation and increase blood flow. In more severe cases, HBOT has also shown promise in helping heal damaged tissue from radiation therapy.
An inflamed prostate is something that can become more common with age. It can cause a number of symptoms from urinary tract, bladder or kidney problems.
We’ve seen success at Swanson Hyperbarics treating men’s health issues. A provider at Swanson Hyperbarics can help determine if any of the therapies at the clinic can help you with inflammation and any other issues that may have come from an enlarged prostate or something more serious.
At Swanson Hyperbarics, we’ve seen a number of patients improve their prostate health. We have seen success in patients being treated from radiation injuries from cancer treatments as well as some that have improved their PSA numbers. A PSA is a prostate-specific antigen test that doctors use to screen for prostate cancer. Typically, the higher a person’s PSA, the higher the risk or likelihood of cancer. Radiation injury to the prostate from cancer treatments is FDA approved and covered by many insurance companies.
Listen to the video below from a Swanson Hyperbaric patient who suffered from prostate cancer and received hyperbaric oxygen treatment. Hear about how HBOT helped him regain a sense of normalcy after cancer treatments.
