Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Eugene, OR
In this treatment you enter a Hyperbaric chamber to breathe in pure oxygen in air pressure levels 1.5 to 3 times higher than average. Intended to fill the blood with enough oxygen to repair tissues and restore normal body function.
When you take a dive in a hyperbaric chamber the pressure allows the large levels of oxygen to reach deep into the tissues of the body. This extra oxygen supply can help heal wounds and damaged tissue more quickly, and heal your body from a cellular level. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy enhances the body’s natural healing ability by providing increased oxygenated blood flow to the damaged tissues.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is used to speed up healing of carbon monoxide poisoning, gangrene, wounds that won’t heal, and infections in which tissues are starved for oxygen.
Our hyperbaric chamber is an OxyHealth Vitaeris 320.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy pairs well with Tissue Regenerative Therapy (TRT) and red light therapy for faster recovery.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has been approved for more than a dozen conditions including:
- Carbon monoxide poisoning
- Cyanide poisoning
- Crush injuries
- Gas gangrene (a form of gangrene in which gas collects in tissues)
- Decompression sickness
- Acute or traumatic reduced blood flow in the arteries
- Compromised skin grafts and flaps
- Infection in a bone (osteomyelitis) that doesn't respond to other treatment
- Delayed radiation injury
- Flesh-eating disease (necrotizing soft tissue infection)
- Air or gas bubble trapped in a blood vessel (air or gas embolism)
- Chronic infection called actinomycosis
- Diabetic wounds that are not healing properly
What to Expect During Your Session
A hyperbaric oxygen therapy session at Wright Wellness Center is simple and relaxing. You’ll settle comfortably inside our OxyHealth Vitaeris 320 chamber, where the pressure rises gently — much like the feeling of an airplane beginning its descent. Your ears may need to equalize as the pressure changes, and our team will show you easy techniques to do that comfortably.
Most sessions last about 60 to 90 minutes. There’s nothing you have to do except breathe normally and rest — many guests read, listen to music, or simply nap. There is no downtime afterward, so you can head straight back to your day. Because the benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy tend to build over time, many clients schedule a series of sessions, and our team will help you map out a cadence that fits your goals.
