Pre-purchase 10 or 20 treatments of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Available at RenewalMD in Savannah.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a noninvasive, painless treatment that supports the body’s natural healing capabilities. It does this by delivering high concentrations of oxygen to the bloodstream to help heal persistent wounds, injuries and infections.

Under normal conditions, the air we breathe contains a mixture of gases, of which about 21% is oxygen. During hyperbaric oxygen therapy, you breath 100% pure, medical-grade oxygen. You do this while relaxing in a specially designed, pressurized chamber.

High concentrations of oxygen can enhance your body’s healing power to repair itself, rehabilitate an injury or promote healing of a chronic wound. It can also help to rejuvenate cells and tissue that are at risk of dying due to diminished blood supply. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy promotes wound healing and other health benefits by:

• Increasing blood flow
• Decreasing inflammation and swelling
• Weakening infection-causing bacteria
• Increasing the body’s ability to fight free radicals (unstable molecules that can build up in cells and cause damage)
• Stimulating the growth of new blood vessels
