Oxygen therapy

During hyperbaric oxygen therapy, you breathe in up to 94% oxygen. Normally, we breathe in air that contains around 21% oxygen.

What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy?

Under Hyperbar behandling under trykk puster du inn opptil 94% oksygen i et trykkammer hvor lufttrykket er betydelig høyere enn det normale atmosfæretrykket.

Under normal pressure, oxygen is transported in the body mainly via the red blood cells. In hyperbaric therapy, the increased pressure also causes large amounts of oxygen to dissolve directly into the blood fluid (plasma). This allows the oxygen to reach areas of the body with poor blood circulation, which promotes healing and fights certain infections.

The goal is to give the body better conditions to repair itself.

Hvordan foregår oksygen­behandlingen?

1. Kompresjon

Du sitter eller ligger i oksygentanken. Trykket økes gradvis. I denne fasen må du aktivt utligne trykket.

2. Behandlingsfasen

Når trykket har stabilisert seg, får kroppen jobbe i et miljø med opptil 94% oksygen. Denne fasen handler om å optimalisere kroppens balanse og støtte restitusjon.

3. DEKOMPRESJON

Når behandlingen er ferdig, reduseres trykket gradvis tilbake til normal atmosfære.

Body scan and health examination

Before you start oxygen therapy, it is mandatory to take our health assessment to get an overview of how your body functions and works to stay healthy. This is the starting point for your individual treatment plan.

Hvordan oppleves oksygen i kroppen?

For de fleste er hyperbar oksygenbehandling en rolig prosess. Du må likevel kunne utligne trykket i ørene, omtrent som når du letter med et fly eller dykker under vann.

Hvem kan ha nytte av oksygen?

Behandlingen kan være aktuell for deg som opplever at du restituerer dårligere enn før, har utfordringer med kroppen eller ønsker å støtte kroppens naturlige reparasjonsprosesser.

We always individually assess whether the treatment is suitable for you.

What happens in the body?

At the cellular level, the treatment affects the body's energy production, regulation of inflammation, and tissue repair. This can improve working conditions in areas that are stressed or have reduced function.

The treatment creates a controlled physiological stress that can activate the body's natural response and ability to adapt.

During treatment:
  • The body's energy production (ATP) in the cells can increase.
  • Microcirculation in the smallest blood vessels can be improved.
  • Signaling substances linked to inflammation can be affected.

Oksygen kan bidra til:

Inhibit the growth of certain bacteria
Stimulere dannelse av nye blodårer
Healing of chronic wounds
Fighting infection
Recovery from radiation injuries
Improvement of long covid
increase blood circulation
Recovery after stroke

Safe and controlled treatment

The treatment takes place in safe and controlled environments, with a focus on quality and individual follow-up.

Before starting, your health is assessed to ensure that oxygen therapy is right for you, and along the way, the program is adapted according to how your body responds.

The treatment is often carried out as a series over time for the best effect, tailored to your situation and response. At the same time, both effect and experience vary from person to person.

Hyperbar oksygenbehandling er en ikke-invasiv metode som har vært brukt i flere tiår, og utføres av kvalifisert personell etter etablerte retningslinjer for sikker bruk av trykkammer.
