What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
In many ways, oxygen is the key to life. In fact, the body relies on oxygen not just to breathe, but also for its many tissues to function properly. Injured tissues require even more oxygen, which can lead to great problems if these needs are not met. Fortunately, Vitality Health & Wellness Center in Toledo, OH offers hyperbaric oxygen therapy to increase the amount of oxygen a person's blood is able to carry. To learn more about this modern treatment, contact our experienced team today to schedule a consultation and find out if this treatment is right for you.
How Does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Work?
Before your appointment, a member of our staff will lead you to our hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber. When the treatment begins, the hyperbaric chamber will increase the pressure of the room by 2 to 3 times the normal air pressure. This allows your lungs to gather much more oxygen than would otherwise be possible. Generally, hyperbaric oxygen therapy lasts for around two hours from start to finish. By the end of the treatment, 20 times more oxygen will be traveling through your body's bloodstream than before, which aids in healing injured organs and body tissues. In addition, this excess oxygen is used to fight off harmful bacteria and release growth factors within the body to stimulate healing.

Vitality Health and Wellness Center Reviews
I've been seeing Amanda and her fabulous team for HRT for about a year. It was the best decision I made all year. I went from an exhausted, sleep deprived 74 year old crone to a spry, vibrant and sexy senior gadabout. I feel like I'm 50 again. Don't listen to doctors who do not specialize in women's health. I've been hormone deprived unnecessarily since having a hysterectomy thirty years ago. Do not put off getting your energy and good nights sleep back. Call Vitality today.
I started my journey with Vitality and Amanda McDole over a year ago. Amanda is by far the most caring and dedicated practitioner I have come across. She is knowledgeable in her field and cares about each and every patient she sees. I suffer from PCOS and hyperthyroidism. I had no energy, had gained a large amount of weight and had no real motivation. I am happy to say that I am now down 55 pounds, I have more energy, focus and for the first time in a long time I feel truly happy. I have also had Laser Hair Removal for the first time. The experience was seamless from start to finish. I had my bikini area done and could not believe how fast and painless the whole process was. The Soprano system by Alama is AMAZING.
This has been life changing for me. Having the hormone replacement and laser hair removal the best decision I ever did for myself. Amanda is amazing and Amanda at the front office is superior!! ❤️
Vitality Health and Wellness Center has really helped me begin my journey on becoming a better and healthier person. Their entire team has been been supportive and helpful 😊
I love this place it changed my life! 100% recommended.
