How does hyperbaric oxygen improve brain health?
Hyperbaric oxygen offers many benefits for people who experience symptoms of a chronic neurological disorder or a brain injury.
Sessions in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber allow oxygen to reach areas of the brain that are often difficult to access with other technologies. The extra oxygen can reduce inflammation inside your brain, supporting new blood vessel growth and reactive neurons affected by an oxygen deficiency.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is available at Clover Oxygen Hyperbarics and Wound Center for adults and adolescents aged 12 and up. The hyperbaric specialists customize a care plan to relieve your symptoms and optimize your overall brain function.
When should I consider a brain health consultation?
Schedule a brain health consultation at Clover Oxygen Hyperbarics and Wound Center to learn if hyperbaric oxygen therapy can address persistent symptoms of:
- Stroke
- Multiple sclerosis
- Cerebral palsy
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Post-concussion syndrome
The team can also discuss your options for using hyperbaric oxygen therapy to boost your cognitive function as you age. Age-related changes in the brain can cause a decline in your cognition and interfere with information processing, attention, and other essential functions.
What happens during hyperbaric oxygen therapy for brain health?
During your visit to Clover Oxygen Hyperbarics and Wound Center, the team helps you get comfortable lying in a hyperbaric chamber. The tube-shaped chamber is large enough to fit a person.
They raise the air pressure inside the chamber to a higher level than normal. This increased air pressure helps your lungs receive more oxygen than you would get when breathing outside of the chamber.
Throughout treatment, you might experience mild side effects like increased sinus pressure or ear discomfort. These issues will be resolved on their own soon after you leave the chamber.
Treatment times for hyperbaric oxygen therapy vary based on the condition you’re treating and your overall health. Therapy can last just a few minutes or up to two hours before the air pressure levels return to normal.
