Oxygen Chamber Can Be Used For Concussions

This chamber is only $13 000 and the benefits are endless.

Lately there is so much talk over oxygen and ventilators as the oxygen helps repair damaged cells and kills viruses. That is not unusual though as sportsmen have been using oxygen in a pressurised cylinder known as a hyperbaric chamber for years to treat injuries.

The first time I knew athletes were using this was when Andre Joubert broke his hand in the Quarter Final of the 1995 World Cup. Everyone thought that was it and his tournament was over as the Final was only 2 weeks away. Andre played in the final after having daily sessions in the hyperbaric chamber.

The oxygen under pressure helps speed up the recovery rate as the oxygen is now dissolved in all the fluids of the body and not just the red blood cells which is what normally happens. This helps when there is damaged tissue with poor circulation. The increased oxygen levels help boost the capacity of the white blood cells to clear up bacteria and reduce swelling. It helps reproduce new cells in damaged areas helping to speed up the healing process.

Many top sportsman have used it to cut down their injury time trimming off weeks and in some cases months. One prime example besides Andre Joubert is Terrell Owens who not only broke a leg but also tore a ligament and yet played in the Superbowl 7 weeks later. He wasn't 100 percent fit and most likely shouldn't of played yet still this treatment allowed him to at least compete.

LeBron James spends 90 minutes per session to help increase blood flow.

Medical science unfortunately has spent more time trying to cheat the system and in my opinion should be concentrating on new treatment methods to speed up recovery. Steroids helps one recover that much quicker from injuries but it isn't legal yet pure oxygen under pressure allows a purer more natural process.

Another NFL player Bill Romanowski who felt he needed to do something different for his head injuries. Bill used to suffer from many concussions sustained on the field and used to forget things frequently. At one stage he even had slurred speech until he used the oxygen chamber. Mentally he is far better and can think clearer because of this treatment.

Sports teams should all invest in one of these and I would definitely try this out to see if it could improve my back. I have suffered from poor blood circulation in the past and know this is something I should try and find as it is worth a shot. I was wondering why more people don't use this and have it as an added extra at the gym.
