Traumatic Brain Injury

How hyperbaric oxygen therapy can heal this devastating diagnosis

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an injury that affects how the brain works. In the United States, millions of individuals sustain TBIs every year. The underlying process in traumatic brain injury is loss of brain tissue. This can occur in many ways and in varying severities. Namely, acute/severe, moderate, and mild/concussive. In an attempt to remedy the injury, the brain responds with a number of compensatory mechanisms, but the underlying injury remains.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is the only therapy that repairs the underlying brain wounds and stimulates regrowth of blood vessels (angiogenesis) and brain tissue. It is the only therapy that heals acute, severe TBI.

According to case studies, hyperbaric oxygen therapy can reduce the number of deaths from acute, severe TBI by 60% - an effect on mortality rate that hasn’t been seen since the development of penicillin!

For the survivors of TBI and those who do not receive HBOT, they go through life with varying disabilities. But this does not have to be the case.
