According to the CDC, 138 people are affected by a TBI (traumatic brain injury) –aka “concussion”– every day. In 2010, over 2 million TBI related hospitalizations were recorded in the US alone. These injuries can cause serious acute symptoms, as well as debilitating symptoms that can persist for months or years.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has proven to be an extremely valuable therapy in the recovery and healing of TBI. HBOT enhances the recovery from TBI by reducing hypoxia and neuroinflammation, while increasing circulation in the brain. It does so by increasing oxygen levels in the body 5-7 times what is normally available, breathing at normal atmospheric pressure.
