Welcome to Developmental Spectrums Hyperbarics! Our goal is to make your hyperbaric oxygen experience as comfortable for you and as beneficial to your health as possible. Our primary focus at Developmental Spectrums is the use of oxygen under pressure to help in the recovery from brain disorders and injuries of many kinds, especially children on the autistic spectrum {mosimage}(see www.developmentalspectrums.com), but we are also available to help the general pediatric and adult community with various health issues that can be successfully treated with hyperbaric oxygen

. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, or HBOT, has been around for hundreds of years, but was mainly used for treating severely infected wounds. It has only recently been gaining acceptance by the general medical community for enhancing the treatment of a much wider range of conditions, including neurologic, gastrointestinal, immunologic, toxic, and developmental conditions. The reason why HBOT is beneficial to so many different kinds of problems is that oxygen is at the very center of every biochemical process in our bodies, and is arguably the most important nutrient on earth. We can only live without oxygen for a few brief minutes, and enhancing oxygenation turns out to be beneficial to the entire body in hundreds of different ways.  

In recent times HBOT has been used mainly for divers who got the “bends” and for climbers who got high altitude sickness Professional athletes adopted the use of portable HBOT chambers early on, and often use them before and after every game to enhance athletic performance and aid in physical recovery from sports injuries But HBOT does so much more than that.
