PhillyVoice interviewed J. Milo Sewards, MD, Chair of Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, about hyperbaric oxygen therapy, as the Phillies have joined the Eagles and Flyers in incorporating it into injury management and general recovery. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves entering a sealed, pressurized chamber to breathe in 100 percent pure oxygen. Sewards cautioned that more peer-reviewed research is needed on its effects and use for athletic injuries, wellness and anti-aging.
