Retinitis Pigmentosa

Alternative Treatment for Retinitis Pigmentosa

Retinitis Pigmentosa at a glance:

Also known as rod cone dystrophy, retinitis pigmentosa (RP) refers to a group of inherited diseases that cause degeneration of the retina. When photoreceptor cells in the retina deteriorate, people with RP experience a gradual decline in vision. There is currently no cure for retinitis pigmentosa. [1] Research studies have shown that HBOT can stabilize vision loss in people with retinitis pigmentosa.

Our Approach to Retinitis Pigmentosa

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, or HBOT, is a specialized form of medical treatment administered by delivering 100% pure oxygen to the body through increased atmospheric pressure greater than 1.3 ATA in an enclosed hard chamber.

At pressures greater than normal, the body can incorporate more oxygen into blood cells, blood plasma, cerebral-spinal fluid, and other bodily fluids. The increased oxygen absorption experienced during Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy significantly enhances the body’s ability to aid in its healing.
