There are numerous kinds of massages and therapies ranging from water to medicated but have you ever heard of Oxygen therapy before? Well no need to just hear it when you can experience it. A therapy that involves inhaling pure oxygen in a submarine-like chamber, and that can speed up healing of diabetic foot wounds as well as help autistic children has come to the UAE.
The facility offering this hyperbaric oxygen therapy was inaugurated on Monday in Sweihat area of Sharjah.
Dr Mohab Nasrt, consultant at ENGY Medical Centre said that patients sit in a chamber that is pressurised to three times the normal air pressure and are given pure oxygen to breathe through masks that provide 100 per cent oxygen. The pressure makes the lungs take in three times more oxygen than under normal conditions.
The blood then takes this oxygen around the body and stimulates release of stem cells and ‘growth factors” that help healing.
It’s really a good news for UAE residents that such innovative facility has arrived in UAE hospitals. We hope that oxygen therapy will save many lives and provide relief to the patients.
