Located in Gunnison, Colorado, the Rocky Mountain Hyperbaric Institute (RMHI) provides Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to supplement existing medical regimens. RMHI also offers education to the general public regarding the positive effects and benefits of HBOT. While HBOT is used to prevent and treat an increasing list of conditions, the Rocky Mountain Hyperbaric Institute specializes in brain injuries and chronic wound care.
What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a FDA approved medical treatment which enhances the body’s natural healing process by inhalation of 100% oxygen in a chamber where the atmospheric pressure is increased and controlled. It has been employed for decades to treat a variety of conditions but is particularly useful in the fields of neurology and wound care. The treatment process is safe, painless and comfortable and has few side effects.

The Positive Effects of HBOT
When brain cells die or are damaged by traumatic brain injury (TBI), abilities controlled by that area of the brain are lost. These abilities include speech, movement and memory. How a TBI patient is affected depends on where the injury occurs in the brain and how much the brain is damaged.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) delivers oxygen enriched blood to areas of the brain affected by brain injury. These blood cells activate idling neurons, allowing them to take over the functions of the dead cells. This allows a patient to regain functions to parts of the body which have become compromised by the brain injury.
