Beating Pain with Oxygen

After rupturing three discs and living with chronic pain for over three years, Andy thought his life as he knew it was over. Today, thanks to Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), he’s not only on the road to recovery but also helping others find hope at O2 North West.

A Life-Changing Injury

In June 2020, Andy’s world changed instantly when he ruptured three discs in his spine (L3, L4, and L5 S1). The nerve damage stretched from his neck down to the soles of his feet.

The relentless pain lasted three and a half years, through nights without sleep, before and after surgery.

“I don’t just understand pain – I have lived it every single day.”

Searching for relief, Andy turned back to something familiar from his career as a scuba diving instructor: oxygen under pressure.

Discovering Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves breathing highly concentrated oxygen (96%) inside a pressurised chamber.

The results?

• Reduced inflammation
• Faster healing
• Renewed energy

For Andy, HBOT was life-changing:

“It gave me hope when I had absolutely none.”

Why Oxygen Matters

Inflammation is at the root of many health problems – from arthritis, fibromyalgia, and sports injuries to stroke recovery, MS, and even chronic fatigue.

HBOT tackles inflammation head-on, helping the body heal itself.

At O2 North West, clients use HBOT to:

• Reduce pain, stiffness, and inflammation
• Speed recovery after surgery or injury
• Improve circulation and oxygen flow
• Support brain health after stroke or trauma
• Boost immunity and fight infection
• Increase energy and reduce fatigue
• Slow down signs of ageing

From Diving to Healing

Andy’s background in scuba diving has shaped the way O2 North West operates. With 15 years of experience as a dive instructor and technician, he knows the importance of precision and safety.

The chambers at O2 North West are kept to meticulous standards – the same safety protocols used underwater.

“Oxygen and pressure are powerful. Our chambers are kept to the same meticulous standards as the dive gear that kept our customers alive underwater. Safety and quality are everything.”

A New Purpose

After years of pain, Andy has found purpose in helping others rediscover life without it.

Healing under pressure saved him. Now he sees it changing lives every week.

If you are struggling with long-term pain, recovering from illness, or simply want to feel more energised, there is hope. And it starts with oxygen.
