Temporary increases in inflammation are essential for the body's recovery process during physical injuries and infections. However, research indicates that sustained chronic inflammation, or SCI, can contribute to major diseases that are leading causes of disability and death globally. These diseases include cardiovascular disorders, cancer, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and various autoimmune and neurodegenerative conditions. Significant medical research has linked the immune system and chronic inflammatory processes to over half of all deaths annually worldwide.

Chronic inflammation can harm healthy cells, tissues, and organs, and even alter the DNA of previously healthy cells. This type of inflammation not only plays a role in the onset of diseases but can also manifest as a symptom in autoimmune conditions like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. It may arise from persistent injuries or illnesses, exposure to environmental toxins such as chemicals and pollutants, or lifestyle factors that increase susceptibility to inflammation-driven diseases.

Hyperbaric therapy has proven effective in significantly reducing widespread inflammation in the body. This treatment enhances the oxygen levels in the body, which is distributed via the plasma, effectively diminishing inflammation and alleviating pain.
