Oxygen therapy can be included in your treatment plan to help boost blood oxygen levels.
Oxygen is vital for nearly all living organisms. It supports cellular respiration, which allows the cells to convert food into energy. A lack of oxygen can result in cell damage and, in extended situations, can cause death. Other biological processes also rely on oxygen, including growth, immune system function, and reproduction. Additionally, your brain and heart require oxygen to function properly. When humans breathe, they generally get the oxygen they need for these functions to occur. But when normal respiration isn’t quite enough, the body may be suffering from low blood oxygen levels.
One way to treat this problem is oxygen therapy, which involves breathing in air that contains a higher concentration of oxygen than the air in the atmosphere. When breathing the higher concentration, the lungs are able to deliver more oxygen throughout the body, which promotes healing and reduces inflammation. At Advanced Chiropractic Center, we offer oxygen therapy to patients located throughout the Asheville, North Carolina area. Our team sees the value in this type of therapy, often provided as a complement to other non-invasive treatments, such as manipulation, massage therapy, and light treatment.
Before we begin a treatment plan, we will schedule a consultation, using this time to better understand the full picture of your health and well-being. Our team treats people at all levels and ages, taking a highly personalized approach to address specific conditions and concerns. When oxygen therapy is a good option, we will include it in your treatment plan to help your body recover and heal more efficiently.
