Oxygeneration’s Jennifer Flaherty shares how the story of how pneumonia survivor Martha used hyperbaric oxygenation to improve the circulation in her feet.
Have you ever noticed your hands and feet feeling cold to the touch, appearing discoloured, or experiencing numbness? These can be alarming signs that your body is struggling with poor circulation and insufficient oxygen levels. If so, perhaps it’s time to consider something that can help: hyperbaric oxygenation (HBOT).
Last year I witnessed the inspiring story of Martha, who experienced first-hand the transformative effects of hyperbaric oxygen. After contracting a severe case of pneumonia years earlier, Martha was placed in an induced coma to combat the bacterial infection. While she eventually overcame the illness, she was left with severe discoloration in her feet—a constant reminder of her ordeal.
Poor circulation can manifest in various ways, from discoloration and numbness in extremities to hands and feet that are cold to the touch. These symptoms indicate that oxygen and essential nutrients are not being efficiently delivered to all parts of the body. Over time, this can lead to swelling, inflammation, and an increased risk of infections and other health issues.
Hyperbaric oxygenation works by breathing high levels of oxygen in a pressurised environment. This process increases the amount of oxygen dissolved in the blood plasma, enhancing overall oxygen delivery throughout the body. Improved oxygenation supports the function of blood vessels, promoting stronger blood flow and better circulation.
Martha’s journey with HBOT is a testament to its effectiveness. After just six sessions at OxyGeneration, she walked into the clinic proudly wearing a pair of sandals, showing off her now healthy-coloured feet. The treatment had significantly improved her circulation, alleviating the discoloration and restoring a sense of normalcy to her life.
“Some 10 years ago following my discharge from hospital, I was unable to walk nor feel my feet and toes, and generally I had to learn to walk as my mobility was weak. I suffered a lot from fatigue!
I read articles about OxyGeneration and arranged the booking as I still could not feel my feet or toes. After my second session, I could wriggle my toes and gradually start to feel my feet. I have now completed 6 sessions. My feet have improved beyond belief, and I can move and feel my toes. I am less tired and definitely have so much more energy. I can go for a short walk now and do house chores that I wouldn’t have dreamed of prior to the OxyGeneration Sessions!”
Hyperbaric oxygenation isn’t just for severe cases like Martha’s; it can benefit anyone experiencing poor circulation. By improving blood flow, HBOT helps reduce the risks associated with inadequate oxygen supply, such as chronic inflammation and susceptibility to infections.
