What is Hypoxia?

Hypoxia can be a dangerous, even life-threatening state for our cells and tissues. To sustain the life we have an absolute and continual need for the oxygen, necessary to produce energy for our cells' survival and reproduction. Most conditions associated with hypoxia can benefit from Hyperbaric Ohygen Therapy.

Illness often comes as a direct result of inadequate, restricted or damaged blood supply to our cells where life is actually occurs. Acute oxygen deficit in damaged tissues may promote the hypoxia which is often caused by severe injuries, chronic diseases, insufficient oxygen available to the lungs, some environmental or toxic factors. The different causes of hypoxia usually determine the type of hypoxia.
