OXYGENERATION, a hyperbaric oxygenation clinic in Galway, has been helping people boost their healing since it opened its doors in 2018.

Over the years, the clinic has welcomed thousands of people, many of whom have found remarkable results using hyperbaric oxygenation (HBOT). The story behind OxyGeneration’s founding is both personal and inspiring, rooted in the experiences of its founder, Galway solicitor Brian Lynch.

Brian’s journey to discovering HBOT began after a serious horse-riding accident that left him with severe injuries. After being thrown off a horse, doctors told Brian he would be in a wheelchair for months, with a long, slow recovery ahead. Thanks to a family member who was a physician, Brian was introduced to HBOT. However, he would have to travel from Galway to Dublin multiple times for the treatment. The results? Incredible! Instead of being in a wheelchair for months, Brian was walking in just seven weeks!

This amazing turnaround made Brian realise that more people should have access to HBOT, without needing to travel long distances. That’s why he decided to bring the treatment closer to home by setting up OxyGeneration in Galway. His goal was to give more people an opportunity to benefit from this innovative treatment without the hassle of going to Dublin or further afield.

Since its founding, OxyGeneration has been helping people recover from a variety of health issues, from traumatic injuries to chronic conditions. HBOT works by increasing the amount of oxygen in the blood, which helps tissues heal faster, reduces inflammation, and acts as a natural antibiotic. Hyperbaric oxygenation has shown positive results in treating everything from non-healing wounds and pain to neurological conditions, making it a versatile option for many people.

Despite its success, OxyGeneration has faced some challenges along the way. Being considered an “alternative” treatment in a healthcare system that often leans heavily on pharmaceuticals has posed some hurdles. On top of that, the clinic had to deal with the complications of COVID-19 and the rising costs of running a clinic. But through it all, OxyGeneration has persevered, and its impact has only grown. These challenges inspired founder Brian Lynch to write a book titled “Oxygenation is the Solution,” which went on to become a bestseller on Amazon. In the book, Brian highlights a global legal issue regarding medical disclosure and HBOT.

Many people, including doctors, are unaware that in many countries, Ireland included, physicians are legally obliged to inform patients about HBOT as a potential treatment for various conditions. This lack of awareness means that many patients who could benefit from HBOT are not even told it’s an option. Brian’s book aims to educate both the public and the medical community, advocating for better access to this transformative treatment. The message is clear: patients around the world deserve to know all of their treatment options, including hyperbaric oxygenation, so they can make informed decisions about their healthcare. Irish Life Health recognise the benefits of HBOT for various medical conditions and include it in many of their policies. This is a huge step forward, as it shows a real understanding of the treatment’s potential to enhance recovery and improve lives. OxyGeneration is an example of how innovative thinking can make a big difference in healthcare. By making HBOT more accessible, Brian Lynch has given people a chance to experience faster healing and better health outcomes. The clinic’s success, despite the obstacles, shows just how valuable hyperbaric oxygenation can be. As more people discover the benefits of HBOT, OxyGeneration continues to stand out as a leader in helping so many recover and thrive.
