Your body possesses an extraordinary ability to heal itself – but sometimes it needs a boost. Enter hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), a medical treatment that harnesses the power of pressurized oxygen to accelerate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and help your body heal from the inside out. By breathing 100% oxygen at pressures 1.5 to 3…
In modern medicine, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is the process of breathing 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber exceeding normal atmospheric pressure. This treatment floods body tissues with up to twenty times the normal oxygen concentration, accelerating healing processes and treating conditions ranging from decompression sickness to diabetic wounds. The journey from primitive air pressure devices…
Think hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is just for hospitals? Think again. Home hyperbaric chambers are making this powerful therapy more accessible than ever, with over 18,000 portable units currently in use worldwide. [1] But what exactly is HBOT, and why are so many people bringing this technology home? What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy? In simple…
Researchers have discovered a new mechanism explaining why hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) enhances the effectiveness of chemotherapy in treating glioblastoma, the most aggressive form of brain cancer. The study, published yesterday in Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, demonstrates that HBO increases chemosensitivity by inhibiting a molecular pathway involving hypoxia-inducible factors and a key drug resistance protein….
New research shows that hyperbaric oxygen therapy provides sustained relief for up to five years. A groundbreaking study has confirmed that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2) provides long-lasting relief for patients suffering from chronic radiation-induced cystitis, a debilitating bladder condition affecting cancer survivors who received pelvic radiation treatments. The five-year follow-up of the RICH-ART trial, published…
Understanding the safety profile, potential side effects, and appropriate uses of pressurized oxygen treatment for various medical conditions The recent tragic incident on January 31, 2025, where a 5-year-old child, Thomas Cooper, died in a hyperbaric chamber fire at the Oxford Center in Troy, Michigan have raised significant safety concerns through the medical community. This…
A team of researchers from Croatia has successfully treated a severe motorcycle accident victim using a combination of extracellular matrix (ECM) application and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), potentially opening new avenues for treating devastating foot injuries that might otherwise require amputation. The case study, authored by a multidisciplinary team led by researchers from Rijeka University…
The Philadelphia Phillies have announced a partnership with NexGen Hyperbaric that makes them the first Major League Baseball team to implement a dedicated clinical hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) program for players. Beginning with the 2025 season, the Phillies will integrate these advanced recovery services into their standard player health protocols, reflecting the organization’s focus on…
A comprehensive ten-year study conducted at the University Centre for Maritime and Tropical Medicine in Gdynia, Poland has revealed important findings about the safety and efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for critically ill patients. The research, published in Scientific Reports, analyzed data from 176 intensive care patients who received HBOT while requiring mechanical ventilation…
A Kent family is fighting for improved care for their 15-year-old son who suffered severe brain damage after jumping from a seaside pier last year, while crediting hyperbaric oxygen treatment with his remarkable progress so far. Jack Dolan was left “braindead” following what his family describes as a horrific accident in Margate nine months ago….
