NEW ORLEANS, La. (NOLA NOW) - Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a non-invasive treatment for multiple conditions. When thinking of healing, Dr. Paul G. Harch focuses on the underlying disease processes that contribute to medical and neurological conditions using HBOT.
HBOT helps repair damaged tissues, offering support for conditions that were once thought untreatable, according to Harch. In 1992, Harch was apart of a program that treated the first Cerebral Palsy child in North America using HBOT.
Since that groundbreaking treatment, clinical research has continued to validate the therapy. HBOT has been shown to be an effective treatment for Cerebral Palsy. Decades of research have now shown that HBOT is more effective than the traditional therapies for Cerebral Palsy. It helps patients regain mobility, cognitive function, and a better quality of life, Harch said.
Many medical conditions have benefited and responded well to HBOT, including:
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)/Concussion
- Drowning recovery
- Surgical recovery
- Stroke
- Long COVID
- Wounds of many different causes
If you or a loved one is living with a wounding condition, healing is within reach.
