Neuropathy: Reverse the Damage with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
By Dr. Walker, Clarity Hyperbarics
What is Neuropathy?
Neuropathy is a condition that affects the nerves. It can cause a variety of symptoms, including pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness. Neuropathy can be caused by a number of different things, including diabetes, cancer, certain medications, and injuries.
How HBOT Can Help Neuropathy?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment that involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. HBOT can help to improve blood flow and circulation to the nerves. This can help to reduce inflammation and promote nerve healing.
HBOT has been shown to be effective in treating a variety of types of neuropathy, including:
Chemotherapy-induced neuropathy
Radiation-induced neuropathy
Diabetic Neuropathy & HBOT
Diabetic neuropathy is a type of neuropathy that is caused by diabetes. It is the most common type of neuropathy, affecting an estimated 60-70% of people with diabetes. Diabetic neuropathy can cause a variety of symptoms, including pain, numbness, tingling, and burning in the feet and legs.
HBOT can help diabetic neuropathy by improving blood flow and circulation to the nerves. This can help to reduce inflammation and promote nerve healing. HBOT has been shown to be effective in reducing pain and improving nerve function in people with diabetic neuropathy.
Peripheral Neuropathy & How HBOT Can Help
Peripheral neuropathy is a type of neuropathy that affects the nerves in the peripheral nervous system. This includes the nerves in the hands, feet, arms, and legs. Peripheral neuropathy can be caused by a variety of things, including diabetes, alcoholism, vitamin deficiencies, certain medications as well as age.
HBOT can help peripheral neuropathy by improving blood flow and circulation to the nerves. This can help to reduce inflammation and promote nerve healing. HBOT has been shown to be effective in reducing pain and improving nerve function in people with peripheral neuropathy.
HBOT for Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathy
Chemotherapy-induced neuropathy is a type of neuropathy that is caused by certain chemotherapy drugs. It can cause a variety of symptoms, including pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hands and feet.
HBOT can help chemotherapy-induced neuropathy by protecting the nerves from further damage and promoting nerve healing. HBOT has been shown to be effective in reducing pain and improving nerve function in people with chemotherapy-induced neuropathy.
Radiation-Induced Neuropathy & HBOT’s Role
Radiation-induced neuropathy is a type of neuropathy that is caused by radiation therapy. It can cause a variety of symptoms, including pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the area of the body that was treated with radiation.
HBOT can help radiation-induced neuropathy by protecting the nerves from further damage and promoting nerve healing. HBOT has been shown to be effective in reducing pain and improving nerve function in people with radiation-induced neuropathy.
Traumatic Neuropathy & How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Can Help
Traumatic neuropathy is a type of neuropathy that is caused by an injury to the nerves. It can cause a variety of symptoms, including pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the area of the body that was injured.
HBOT can help traumatic neuropathy by promoting nerve regeneration. Nerve regeneration is the process of new nerve cells growing and repairing damaged nerves. HBOT has been shown to be effective in reducing pain and improving nerve function in people with traumatic neuropathy. Nerve Regeneration is Rarely seen in the human body. HBOT’s ability to do so is truely a miracle!
HBOT is a promising treatment for all of these types of neuropathy. It is a safe and effective way to improve blood flow and circulation to the nerves, reduce inflammation, promote nerve healing, and stimulate nerve regeneration. If you have neuropathy, talk to our doctors about whether HBOT may be right for you.
Impactful Results of HBOT for Neuropathy
A number of studies have shown that HBOT can be effective in treating neuropathy. For example, a study published in the journal Neurology found that HBOT significantly improved pain and nerve function in people with diabetic neuropathy.
Another study, published in the journal Pain, found that HBOT significantly improved pain and quality of life in people with chemotherapy-induced neuropathy.
Neuropathy is Neuropathy, damage to a nerve. Whether it be diabetes, chemotherapy-induced, a sensible notion can say it helps will all forms of neuropathy. Try it today!

How HBOT Can Help Heal Neuropathy Permanently
HBOT can help to heal neuropathy permanently by promoting nerve regeneration. Nerve regeneration is the process of new nerve cells growing and repairing damaged nerves. This can be crucial in reversal of neuropathy.
HBOT can promote nerve regeneration by:
Increasing blood flow to the nerves
Reducing inflammation
Stimulating the growth of new blood vessels (Angiogenesis)
Stimulating the production of stem cells
Using a Portable Hyperbaric Chamber for Neuropathy
Portable hyperbaric chambers are becoming increasingly popular as a way to deliver HBOT at home or even in a clinical setting. Portable chambers are typically smaller and less expensive than traditional hyperbaric chambers, and they can be used in place of bulkier hard sided chambers.
If you are considering using a portable hyperbaric chamber for neuropathy, utilize a portable chamber at clinic before attempting to purchase your own. Our doctors will help you to choose the right chamber and create a treatment plan that is tailored to your individual needs.
HBOT and Neuropathy, A Match Made Forever
HBOT is a promising treatment for neuropathy. HBOT can help to improve blood flow and circulation to the nerves, reduce inflammation, promote nerve healing, and stimulate nerve regeneration. HBOT has been shown to be effective in treating a variety of types of neuropathy, including diabetic neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy, chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, radiation-induced neuropathy, and traumatic neuropathy.
