Hyperbaric Oxygenation Therapy is when a person breathes nearly 100% oxygen at an increased air pressure. When breathing oxygen under pressure your lungs can gather much more oxygen than would be possible breathing pure oxygen at normal air pressure. When your blood carries this extra oxygen throughout your body, this helps fight bacteria and stimulate the release of substances called growth factors and stem cells, which promote healing.

HBOT can also help with inflammation and infection by stopping harmful bacteria and strengthening the body’s immune system. HBOT stimulates the formation of new blood vessels, new collagen (connective tissue) and new skin cells. This results in more oxygen in your blood, working with the body to naturally enhance the healing process. Hyperbaric Oxygenation is an approved adjunct treatment for several conditions and sessions may be covered by your private health insurance. 

OxyGeneration is a private state-of-the-art Hyperbaric Oxygenation Therapy clinic based in Galway, Ireland. We have a purpose built 14-seat chamber which safely creates the required pressurised environment and pure oxygen to breathe during a session.

It is a painless and non-invasive therapy used in hospitals all over the world (including University Hospital Galway). It has been considered an adjunct medicine for a range of medical conditions, from serious infections, wounds (e.g. diabetic foot ulcers or radiation injury) to sports injury. It is also used to speed up or improve recovery from surgery and for general health and wellness. OxyGeneration is an approved Hyperbaric Oxygenation provider for Irish Life Health and the following conditions are covered: (i) arterial insufficiency; (ii) compromised skin grafts and flaps; (iii) radiation injury; (iv) chronic refractory osteomyelitis; and (iv) thermal burns. Find out more about HBOT uses here.

The number of sessions required by clients varies according to the condition, the individual client’s response to the sessions and their doctor’s advice. HBOT works cumulatively therefore best results are seen when users consistently attend on a regular basis through to completion.

OxyGeneration remains open as an essential service.
