Autism and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
The alarming number of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders in recent years has tragically increased. Due to that increase, more and more parents have turned to alternative forms of treatments to counteract the underlying symptoms for autism. Traditional medicines have often failed at producing desired results for many patients with autism and their families. However, studies have demonstrated hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) as an emerging treatment that parents and physicians are utilising to ameliorate the effects of ASD. This non-invasive treatment is as simple as a one-hour daily-session, where the parent and child enter a hyperbaric oxygen chamber and receive increased levels of oxygen. HBOT has been shown to decrease inflammation and improve cognitive functions, which have substantially helped thousands of ASD patients.
Conclusion: Studies have demonstrated the benefits of HBOT for autism with the following:
Enhance Brain Healing and Repair with HBOT
Increases Oxygen Delivery to Hypoxic Tissues
Reduces Neuroinflammation
Moderates Mitochondria Dysfunction
Promotes Neurogenesis
Stimulates Stem Cell Proliferation and Mobilisation
Reduces Seizure Frequency
Actuates Neuroplasticity
Improve Physical Function with HBOT
Promotes Receptive / Expressive Language
Improves Movement and Walking
Stimulates Better Eye Contact
Improves Gross / Fine Motor Skills
Improve Behavioural Function with HBOT
Improves Sleep Pattern
Advances Social Skills and Interaction
Reduces Aggression
Improve Digestive Function with HBOT
Reduces Gastrointestinal Issues
Decreases Inflammation
Enhances Nutritional Absorption
