Traumatic Brain Injury and Concussion
Therapies we use:
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Electro-acuscope
Traumatic brain injury is a mechanical injury to the brain that results in tearing, stretching, or shearing of tissue, secondary inflammation, and neurological dysfunction.
Concussions are brain injuries caused by a blow to the head, associated with or without loss of consciousness.
Symptoms may include headache, confusion, poor coordination, memory loss, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, ringing in the ears, sleepiness, and excessive fatigue. HBOT works to increase blood flow to damaged brain cells after a traumatic brain injury or concussion.
Increasing oxygen to the area of the trauma reduces swelling that damages surrounding brain cells.
