LightRenew is a valuable resource for helping Valley patients recover from injuries, surgery, and chronic pain through class IV deep tissue laser therapy, and now, the practice is expanding its services with the addition of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), a treatment designed to accelerate healing by delivering pure oxygen to the body.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves breathing 100% pure oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. The increased pressure allows blood and tissues to absorb up to three times more oxygen than normal, helping to accelerate tissue healing, fight infections, and reduce swelling.
“Most people know that the body needs oxygen to heal, but they don’t realize how dramatically we can increase oxygen delivery with hyperbaric therapy,” said LightRenew owner Dr. Caldwell. “By increasing the pressure inside the chamber, we’re able to increase oxygen absorption which can accelerate healing of wounds, severe infections, carbon monoxide poisoning, and even brain damage.” LightRenew utilizes monoplace hyperbaric chambers where pressure is raised one and a half to three times normal atmospheric pressure. During treatment, patients relax inside a clear, pressurized chamber while breathing pure oxygen.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy complements LightRenew’s existing class IV laser therapy treatments. Unlike many red light and cold laser devices that only reach the skin’s surface layers, LightRenew’s lasers penetrate deep into muscle and bone tissue to reduce inflammation and boost blood flow.
“Everything we do is focused on helping the body heal itself more efficiently,” Dr. Caldwell said. “The laser helps improve blood flow and cellular activity, while hyperbaric oxygen therapy increases the oxygen available to those tissues. Together, they create an environment where healing can happen faster and more effectively.”
Whether patients are recovering from surgery, managing chronic pain, healing from an injury, or looking for additional support for overall wellness, LightRenew now offers multiple therapies designed to help accelerate recovery and improve quality of life.
