Long Covid-19

Welcome to Iconic Health & Hyperbarics, where we offer Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) for individuals who are experiencing symptoms of Long Covid-19. Our team of medical professionals has witnessed the profound benefits of HBOT in treating Long Covid-19 symptoms, and we are excited to share this information with you.

From our experience, this medical indication has been extremely frustrating for many of our patients, and we have seen a significant increase in the number of patients seeking a solution to this affliction.

In many cases, we have a perfectly healthy adult exhibiting vitality, energy and normal quality of life…however after battling one or more bouts with Covid, begin to experience bizarre symptoms most prominently expressed with chronic fatigue, brain fog and shortness of breath.

What is Long Covid-19

Long Covid-19, also known as Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection (PASC), is a condition where individuals who have recovered from Covid-19 continue to experience symptoms for months after their initial infection. These symptoms can include fatigue, brain fog, shortness of breath, joint pain, and more.

How can Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy help with Long Covid-19?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that involves breathing 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This process increases the amount of oxygen delivered to the body's tissues and organs, which can stimulate healing and reduce inflammation. In the case of Long Covid-19, HBOT can help reduce inflammation in the lungs, brain, and other organs affected by the virus.

HBOT offers numerous benefits for individuals with Long Covid-19, including:

  1. Reducing inflammation in the lungs, brain, and other organs affected by the virus.

  2. Improving oxygen delivery to tissues and organs, which can stimulate healing.

  3. Reducing fatigue, brain fog, and shortness of breath.

  4. Enhancing the immune response by increasing the production of T-cells.

  5. Reducing the need for medication and other treatments.

Additional Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen to treat Long Covid include:

  1. Rapid Relief of Hpoxic Symptoms

  2. Decreased Chest Pain

  3. Decreased Dyspnea (difficulty breathing)

  4. General Condition Reversal

  5. Improves Liver Functin and Mycardial Injury

  6. Improved Lung Pathology

  7. Gradual Improvement of Arterial Blood Gas

  8. Increases blood oxygen saturation

The main physiological change responsible for the positive health outcomes seen with HBOT is the increase in oxygen delivery to tissues and organs. This increased oxygenation can help reduce inflammation, stimulate healing, and improve immune function. Additionally, HBOT can stimulate the production of new blood vessels, which can help repair damaged tissue.

In conclusion, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a safe and effective treatment option for individuals with Long Covid-19. If you or a loved one is experiencing Long Covid-19 symptoms, we encourage you to contact us to learn more about HBOT and how it can help improve your quality of life.

Research on Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and Long Covid-19

Several case studies and clinical trials have shown the effectiveness of HBOT in treating Long Covid-19 symptoms. In one study published in the Journal of Translational Medicine, patients with Long Covid-19 who received HBOT experienced a significant reduction in fatigue, brain fog, and shortness of breath after just 10 sessions.

“A previously healthy 55-year-old Caucasian man presented 3 months after severe coronavirus disease 2019 infection with long COVID syndrome. His symptoms included a decline in memory, multitasking abilities, energy, breathing, and physical fitness. After evaluation that included brain perfusion magnetic resonance imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, computerized cognitive tests, and cardiopulmonary test, he was treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Each session included exposure to 90 minutes of 100% oxygen at 2 atmosphere absolute pressure with 5-minute air breaks every 20 minutes for 60 sessions, 5 days per week.

Evaluation after completing the treatment showed significant improvements in brain perfusion and microstructure by magnetic resonance imaging and significant improvement in memory with the most dominant effect being on nonverbal memory, executive functions, attention, information procession speed, cognitive flexibility, and multitasking.

The improved cognitive functions correlated with the increased cerebral blood flow in brain regions as measured by perfusion magnetic resonance imaging. With regard to physical capacity, there was a 34% increase in the maximum rate of oxygen consumed during exercise and a 44% improvement in forced vital capacity. The improved physical measurements correlated with the regain of his pre-COVID physical capacity.”
