What is HBO-treatment?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment by which 100% oxygen is administrated at greater than normal pressure to a patient in order to treat specific medical indications. Originally developed for diving related diseases like decompression sickness and arterial gas embolism, it has also been established as the primary therapy in the treatment of medical disorders such as carbon monoxide poisoning and gas gangrene. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is now increasingly being used as an adjunctive treatment in the management of a variety of medical disorders (including cosmetic, fitness and spa related therapeutic applications). Our trained physicians prescribe Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy after carefully examining the patient and discussing any additional treatment options or requirements. The Hyperbaric Chamber utilized here in Limassol is one of the largest and most sophisticated in the eastern Mediterranean and managed by a team of highly specialised and internationally trained technicians
