HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy with CLNQ is subject to consultation to determine suitability and to personalise treatment depending on patient need. In most cases of course of treatment is required at regular intervals.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is generally a safe procedure and complications are rare. Treatment does however carry some risk such as:

• Middle ear injuries, including leaking fluid and eardrum rupture, due to changes in air pressure
• Temporary near-sightedness (myopia) caused by temporary eye lens changes
• Lung collapse caused by air pressure changes (barotrauma)
• Seizures as a result of too much oxygen (oxygen toxicity) in your central nervous system
• Lowered blood sugar in people who have diabetes treated with insulin
• In certain circumstances, fire — due to the oxygen-rich environment of the treatment chamber.

For your safety, items such as lighters or battery-powered devices that generate heat are not allowed into the chamber. In addition, you may need to remove hair and skin care products that are petroleum based, as they are a potential fire hazard.

Individual sessions can be purchased however in most cases a course of treatments will usually provide the best results. Your specialist will provide a treatment plan during your consultation and a discounted rate applied when courses are booked. Hyperbaric oxygen cost starts from £125 for a single session but there are much better prices for hyperbaric oxygen therapy when purchased as packages of 10, 20 or 40 sessions. To find out about our hyperbaric oxygen therapy prices and latest offers please call us.

There is no downtime following treatment. Normal activities can be resumed immediately afterwards although patients can sometimes feel more hungry or tired than usual, this will pass fairly quickly.

To make an appointment please call the clinic on 0800 058 4558 or complete the contact form and a member of our team will be in touch to provide more information.

• Infections
