🧠 DEMENTIA & HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY

What if improving oxygen delivery to the brain could help support brain health?

Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease are complex conditions, but researchers continue to investigate Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) and its potential effects on the aging brain.

During HBOT, you breathe concentrated oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. This increases the amount of oxygen carried in the bloodstream and delivered throughout the body—including areas of the brain where circulation and oxygen delivery may be compromised.

Research is exploring HBOT’s potential to support:

🧠 Brain blood flow and oxygenation
🧠 Neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to adapt and form new connections
🧠 Cognitive function, including memory and attention
🧠 Healthy cellular and mitochondrial function
🧠 The body’s natural healing and repair processes

At Des Moines Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, we believe brain health deserves attention before function is lost—and that supporting circulation, oxygen delivery, sleep, movement, nutrition, and overall health can all be important pieces of the puzzle.

HBOT is not a cure for dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, and it should not replace appropriate medical evaluation or treatment. But emerging research into HBOT and cognitive decline is fascinating and worth following.

If you have a loved one struggling with memory loss, cognitive decline, dementia, or Alzheimer’s disease and would like to learn whether HBOT may be an appropriate supportive option, reach out to us.

The brain needs oxygen. Let’s give it the best environment possible to function, adapt, and heal. 🧠❤️

What does HBOT do for Mitochondria?

Mitochondria REQUIRES oxygen to produce ATP (energy). How much oxygen we can feed our mitochondria is one of the rate limiting steps to how much energy you can produce.

By going in the chamber and increasing oxygen levels inside the blood cells, we are going to be improving Mitochondrial performance.

By using this therapy repetitively, the body starts to notice this change in oxygen saturation and the mitochondria will actually GROW in size to metabolize the additional oxygen.

In the long term, the body will start to make MORE mitochondria!

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a safe non-invasive therapy that uses an increase in atmospheric pressure to increase oxygen supply to cells and tissues.

🦶🔥 NEUROPATHY: WHAT IF THE NERVES AREN’T THE ONLY PART OF THE PROBLEM?

Burning. Tingling. Numbness. Pins and needles. Cold feet. Shooting pain. Loss of sensation.

For people living with peripheral neuropathy, these symptoms can affect everything from walking and sleeping to balance and quality of life.

One important piece of the neuropathy puzzle is oxygen and circulation to damaged or stressed tissues.

That’s where Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) may be helpful. 🫧🫁

During an HBOT session, you breathe oxygen while resting inside a pressurized chamber. The increased pressure allows more oxygen to be carried and delivered throughout the body—including areas where circulation may be compromised.

Greater oxygen availability can support the body's natural healing environment by helping:

🩸 Support circulation and oxygen delivery
🔥 Support a healthy inflammatory response
🧠 Support stressed or injured nerve tissue
🧬 Support cellular repair and recovery
🌱 Promote the formation of new microcirculation in healing tissues

The goal isn't simply to cover up the symptoms.

The goal is to give compromised tissues more of one of the most fundamental things they need to function, repair and heal:

OXYGEN. 💨

If you're dealing with neuropathy in your feet, legs, hands or other areas, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy may be worth exploring as part of a comprehensive approach to your health.

At Des Moines Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, we offer comfortable mild hyperbaric chambers and individualized guidance based on your goals.
