What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

HBOT involves breathing 100% oxygen in a pressurized environment, allowing your lungs to take in more oxygen than normal air. This extra oxygen is transported throughout the body, promoting the repair of damaged tissues, reducing inflammation, and stimulating the growth of new blood vessels. These effects are particularly valuable in the context of brain health, where oxygen delivery can significantly aid recovery and optimize neurological function.

Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy offers a wide range of benefits for neurological health, including:

• Enhanced Neuroplasticity: HBOT supports the brain's ability to form new neural connections, which is critical for recovery from conditions like traumatic brain injuries, stroke, and neurodegenerative disorders.
• Improved Cognitive Function: Patients experiencing brain fog, memory issues, or cognitive decline may find relief through improved oxygen delivery to brain cells.
• Reduction of Inflammation: Chronic inflammation can exacerbate neurological symptoms. HBOT helps reduce inflammation, promoting faster healing and symptom relief.
• Increased Blood Flow: By promoting the growth of new blood vessels, HBOT enhances blood circulation, which is essential for tissue repair and overall brain health.

Conditions HBOT May Help With:

• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
• Stroke Recovery
• Concussion Management
• Neurodegenerative Disorders (such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s)
• Chronic Headaches & Migraines
• Post-Concussion Syndrome

A New Addition to Functional Neurology

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy aligns with our philosophy of Functional Neurology—enhancing brain health through natural, non-invasive methods. HBOT can be an excellent adjunct to other neurological treatments we offer at Brain Health DC, such as vestibular therapy and cognitive rehabilitation. By using HBOT, we aim to maximize your brain's healing potential and help you on the path to optimal wellness.
