On January 5, 2009, a professional skier suffered a serious knee fracture requiring rapid surgical intervention. After the operation on January 7, 2009, this famous skier was offered treatment in a hyperbaric chamber to help regenerate his injury, which could disable him for several months or even a year. Let's not forget that we're in 2009, and if hyperbaric treatment is still unknown to the public today, imagine it in 2009!<\/p>\n
He agrees to carry out these treatments. 30 sessions in a hyperbaric chamber over 6 weeks, i.e. 5 times a week. The results were more than satisfactory! On March 3, 2009, he put on his skis and returned to the slopes.\u00a0 <\/span>as if there had never been an accident!<\/p>\n \u2043 Football superstar Terrel Owens used hyperbaric therapy to recover from an ankle injury sustained during the season.

Hyperbarics could then :<\/p>\n \u2043 Increase tissue oxygenation<\/p>\n \u2043 Promote the formation of new neural networks<\/p>\n \u2043 Increase stem cell levels in the blood<\/p>\n \u2043 Promoting neuroplasticity<\/p>\n Finally, whether it's for a concussion, an accident or a sports injury, hyperbaric treatment is a must!
