Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Resources

How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Supports the Biology of Mental Wellness Mental health is one of the most important conversations in healthcare today. Anxiety, depression, chronic stress, PTSD, brain fog, and emotional exhaustion affect millions of people, yet we often think about them only in terms of symptoms or diagnoses. At New England Hyperbarics, we believe..

One of the most common reports from our patients is that they are sleeping much better. The science behind sleep is complex, but at the same time, it isn’t. When you give your body the right environment for healthy function, it can perform as such. In the case of sleep — reducing stress, inflammation, improving..

HBOT is foundational biology rather than a single targeted intervention. Give your body enough oxygen, energy, and the environment it needs to do what it was..

Functional MRI studies in these patients have shown increased in blood flow to the limbic regions of the brain in..
