Post-concussion
syndrome is one of the most elusive and challenging problems to treat. While
many patients will recover from their concussion and many will not. To make
matters worse, as an athlete sustains repeat concussions, the chance of
recovery becomes less likely.
Symptoms
of post-concussion syndrome vary from patient to patient but can include
headache, difficulty in tracking objects, slower reaction times, anger,
lightheadedness, anxiety, depression, blurred vision, difficulty in
concentration, photophobia (intolerance to bright light), and phonophobia
(intolerance to loud sounds).
All concussions are traumatic brain injuries
(TBI’s) with varying degrees of severity.
Concussions may cause
side effects, including:
- Neurological impairment
- Severe depression
- Debilitating headaches
- Confusion
- Loss of memory
- Insomnia
- Anxiety
- Inability to focus, work or even
maintain steady relationships
For
concussions, HBOT has been proved to
inhibit apoptosis, suppress inflammation, protect the integrity of blood-brain
barrier, and promote angiogenesis and neurogenesis. Concussion is a wound in
the brain that has to be healed, and hyperbaric therapy is advanced
wound-healing technology.
After receiving HBOT, you may start to notice fewer headaches
and improvement to your memory, which can, in turn, help improve your
overall quality of life and make you feel like your old self again.
