Retinitis Pigmentosa
Back to Conditions PageRetinitis Pigmentosa at a glance:
Also known as rod cone dystrophy, retinitis pigmentosa (RP) refers to a group of inherited diseases that cause degeneration of the retina. When photoreceptor cells in the retina deteriorate, people with RP experience a gradual decline in vision. There is currently no cure for retinitis pigmentosa. [1] Research studies have shown that HBOT can stabilize vision loss in people with retinitis pigmentosa.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
A specialized form of medical treatment administered by delivering 100% pure oxygen to the body through increased atmospheric pressure greater than 1.3 ATA. in an enclosed hard chamber.
Physical Therapy and Suit Therapy
The Oxford Recovery Center integrates conventional Physical Therapy and Suit Therapy programs to accelerate the development of new motor skills that strengthen muscles and teach the brain and body how to sit, stand, and walk.
QEEG/Neurofeedback with Real-time Brain Imaging
The Oxford Neurofeedback program evaluates brain activity patterns and teaches self-regulation of brain function through quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG). Also known as “brain mapping,” qEEG analyzes electrical patterns at the surface of the scalp.
