WesternU and NexGen Hyperbaric, LLC to Collaborate on Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Research

Studies show that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can help people recover from numerous medical conditions and injuries that hinder their daily lives. To further study the health benefits of hyperbaric therapy, WesternU (Western University of Health Sciences) and NexGen Hyperbaric partnered together to research the alternative treatment and how it affects mental and physical conditions. Research takes place at WesternU’s Oregon campus in the Center of Behavioral Health and hopes to uncover more advantages of the innovative therapy.

What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is an innovative medical treatment that curbs musculoskeletal injuries and physical ailments without surgery. Patients sit in a hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber as 100% oxygen fills the space. This increases the oxygen levels within the patient’s blood vessels.

As pure oxygen fills the chamber, the pressure gradually increases. The increased pressure and oxygen levels help patients recover from numerous health issues, including, but not limited to:

  • Carbon monoxide poisoning
  • Radiation injuries
  • Middle ear injuries
  • Wounds
  • Foot ulcers
  • Gas embolism
  • Infections
  • Decompression sickness
