Multiple Sclerosis (MS) & HBOT: A supportive approach to wellness
Living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) can feel like your body is constantly throwing you curveballs. One day you may feel tired or foggy, and the next, you’re dealing with numbness, stiffness, or muscle weakness. While medical treatments help manage this, many people with MS look for additional ways to feel better, reduce symptoms, and improve their quality of life.
That’s where Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) comes in — a natural, non-invasive therapy that’s showing promise as a supportive tool for people with MS.
🧠 What Is Multiple Sclerosis?
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a condition that affects your central nervous system — the brain and spinal cord. It happens when your immune system mistakenly attacks the protective layer (called myelin) around your nerves. This causes inflammation and damage, making it harder for your brain to send signals to the rest of your body.
Common symptoms include:
Constant tiredness (fatigue)
Numbness or tingling in the arms, legs, or face
Trouble with walking or balance
Muscle weakness or spasms
Blurry or double vision
Trouble thinking clearly (“brain fog”)
Pain or discomfort
MS affects everyone differently, and symptoms can come and go. Sometimes, they get worse during what’s called a relapse or flare-up.
💨 What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?
HBOT is a treatment that uses pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber to help your body heal. You simply sit or lie down in a special chamber and breathe normally. Because the air pressure is higher inside the chamber, your lungs can take in much more oxygen than normal.
This extra oxygen gets carried by your blood to tissues and cells all over your body — especially the ones that are inflamed or damaged. Oxygen is like fuel for your body’s healing process.
Key benefits of HBOT:
Reduces inflammation
Boosts energy and brain function
Helps tissues and nerves repair
Supports better sleep and relaxation
How Can HBOT Help People with MS?
While HBOT doesn’t cure MS, it may help manage symptoms and support your body’s ability to heal and function. For some people with MS, HBOT can:
✅ Reduce Inflammation
MS causes inflammation in the brain and spinal cord. The high oxygen levels during HBOT can help calm this inflammation and protect nerve tissues.
✅ Improve Fatigue
Many people with MS experience deep fatigue that doesn’t go away with rest. HBOT may help increase energy levels by improving how oxygen reaches your muscles and brain.
✅ Support Brain Function
Some users report better mental clarity, focus, and memory after HBOT — which can help with the “brain fog” often experienced with MS.
✅ Ease Muscle Spasms and Stiffness
Increased oxygen may help improve circulation and reduce tightness or spasms in muscles.
✅ Help with Healing After Flare-Ups
After a relapse, HBOT may support faster recovery and reduce lingering symptoms.
📚 What Does Research Say About HBOT and MS?
Studies on HBOT and MS have been going on for years. While not every study shows strong results, many do show temporary improvement in symptoms like:
Bladder function
Muscle control
Fatigue
Mental alertness
Many people living with MS also share positive experiences, saying HBOT helps them feel more balanced, clear-headed, and energized — even if only for a while.
⚠️ Important: HBOT is not a replacement for your regular MS treatment or medication. It’s a complementary therapy that may help support your health alongside your existing care plan.
🌿 What to Expect During a Session
At our clinic, HBOT is designed to be comfortable, relaxing, and safe.
Here’s what a typical session looks like:
You’ll sit or lie down in a soft or upright chamber.
The chamber is gently pressurized, and you breathe in pure oxygen.
You can read a book, listen to music, or simply relax.
The session lasts about 60 minutes.
Afterward, you may feel refreshed, relaxed, or more alert.
Most people need a series of sessions to notice results — often between 10–40 sessions, depending on the goal.
