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
