Oxygen Therapy in North Liberty

Ergo-Flex is the treatment device we use to deliver oxygen tailored to your needs. The Ergo-Flex has a multistep process.

• Customized Oxygen Delivery: This system features a dual oxygen system with a reservoir for low oxygen (13% to 14%) and another for high oxygen (>95%). With this design, our healthcare providers are able to tailor oxygen levels to exactly what you need during treatment.
• Intermittent Hypoxia/Hyperoxia Training (IHHT): IHHT is a therapy method that alternates between high and low oxygen levels—helping to saturate body tissue with oxygen.
• Real-Time Monitoring and Feedback: The Ergo-Flex device captures real-time data to allow our staff to make quick adjustments if needed. The device also includes built-in safeguards to monitor heart rate and blood oxygen levels.

Oxygen therapy is a holistic treatment that may provide a range of short-term and long lasting benefits for your health.

Benefits you may experience:

• Enhanced oxygen delivery
• Increased blood flow
• Support for chronic conditions
• Stimulated healing
• Improved cognitive function
• Regulation of cellular process

Typically, we recommend that patients be seen for 10 to 20 sessions to get the most out of oxygen therapy. The exact number of sessions will vary based on your health needs that were discussed in your consultation.

As you progress through these treatments, we will monitor your body’s response and make adjustments accordingly. You may experience relief from your symptoms right away, however, you may also need to keep attending sessions to get the most improvement.

Also, it is important that you communicate any changes in your conditions or lifestyle to your doctor—it may affect how the oxygen needs to be administered. Our team at Iowa Wellness Center is here to support you and work with you throughout your healthcare journey.

We do have treatment guidelines that are important to follow before your oxygen therapy in North Liberty. Following our guidelines will ensure your treatment and results are the best they can possibly be.
