Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is very beneficial for pain and speeds recovery

Unión de Mutuas has just installed, in its hospital center in Castellón, a Hyperbaric Medicine Unit. It is a non-invasive therapy, without side effects. Patients breathe high concentrations of oxygen in a pressurized hyperbaric chamber.

The treatment allows oxygen to be diluted in the blood plasma. This favors cellular metabolism and improves the regeneration of all tissues, achieving an important chain of benefits in the body, explains Dr. Feli Calduch, responsible for this new unit.

Dr. Calduch is a rehabilitation specialist, one of the areas in which this treatment is widely recognized. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is indicated for any trauma or injury of bone, ligament or joint origin. Oxygen helps deflate lesions, reduce pain, increase plasticity and facilitate the work of the physiotherapist during rehabilitation.
