Concussion – mTBI
(mild Traumatic Brain Injury)
Hyperbaric Oxygen
Oxygen is essential for the proper functioning of every cell in the body. A Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBO) chamber can multiply arterial oxygen levels up to 20 times normal by pressurizing its’ occupant while providing 100% oxygen for breathing. Increased oxygen levels proportionately increase energy production, waste removal, reduction of swelling and inflammation.
Concussion - mTBIo
A concussion is a complex, mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) caused by a physical force or impact to the head or body which alters the brains function.
-
Any injury that effects the function of the brain can be considered a concussion. Loss of consciousness occurs in only 5% of High School sports concussions.

Hyperbaric Protocol: Seek HBO ASAP!
When starting HBO treatments within 12 to 48 hours of a moderate head injury, typically only 3 to 5 treatments are required to halt concussive symptoms.
How Hyperbaric Oxygen Helps
Reverses swelling of brain, therefore reducing cranial pressure and its’ associated negative symptoms:
-
Nausea
-
Headaches
-
Vision disruptions
-
Hyper-sensitivities to light
Restores normal brain activity
-
Reduces inflammation
-
Hastens vascular repair from tearing and bruising associated with impact injury
HBO Requires a Physician Prescription by an M.D., D.O., P.A, or N.P
Prescription may be acquired through a:
-
Primary Care Physician
-
Team Physician
-
