Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is the medical use of oxygen in a pressurized environment. Increased pressure allows for oxygen to dissolve and saturate the blood plasma (independent of hemoglobin/red blood cells), which yields a variety of positive physiological, biochemical and cellular effects. This noninvasive therapy is the most trusted way to increase oxygen levels to all organs of the body, and is typically a 60-90 minute session.
HBOT has been demonstrated in several clinical studies to enhance the body’s innate ability to repair and regenerate. It is used as an adjunct therapy to complement and enhance the healing process in both chronic and acute conditions.
Chico Naturopathic Medicine has a soft hyperbaric chamber, large enough to sit upright once fully pressurized, with a 4 psi. You do not need to be an established patient to use our HBOT, however, a consultation with Dr. Robyn Barlow is required before treatments start.
IonCleanse Detox Foot Bath
The IonCleanse by AMD is a safe, non-invasive total body detoxification and relaxation system. It’s patented and proprietary technology send biocompatible electrical frequencies into the water. This elicits a relaxation response. These frequencies create an ionic field that cleanses and purifies the body through the power of ions. The IonCleanse process ionizes the water as H2O and is split into OH - and H + ions. These ions attract and neutralize oppositely charged toxins. The toxins are drawn out in the water during the foot bath, and also released through the body’s own detox pathways up to 4 or 5 days post-cleanse. When the session is over, the user feels calm, relaxed, and focused. Typical session times vary from 10-30 minutes, based primarily upon age and/or tolerance. There are no harmful side-effects, and the process is painless and non-invasive.
You do not need to be an established patient to use our foot bath.
LED Light Therapy
LED light therapy is a process by which energy is delivered to various parts of the body via light emitting diodes (LEDS) and is absorbed by the cells for therapeutic and healing benefits. The various energy wavelengths penetrate the skin to different depths and provide the energy cells need to activate increased circulation, healing and repair.
The three most recognized and researched light wavelengths are Red, Infrared, and Blue light; these are the 3 wavelengths combined and used in the light pad system we use at Chico Naturopathic Medicine. The light therapy can be utilized alone and also while using the HBOT or the detox foot bath.
You do not need to be an established patient to receive light therapy here.
