What is Oxygen Therapy?

Oxygen Therapy uses supplemental oxygen to increase the level of oxygen carried in your blood.  Oxygen is a Physician-prescribed medication that is used for short and long-term durations depending on a person’s needs.  Oxygen Therapy can normalize oxygen levels in your blood.
