HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY

Patient Review

Norcal Brain Center was a game changer in my son’s life. After being told that my son’s traumatic brain injury was at a forever baseline, Dr. Tran changed that prognosis. We had a thorough exam to ascertain a personalized path forward. My son has now moved far beyond everyone’s expectation and Norcal Brain Center was a critical part of his remarkable recovery. I was always realistic about the outcome and the seriousness of my son’s injury. The introduction to hyperbaric oxygen, neurofeedback and practical rehabilitation exercises that we did religiously at home changed my son’s life. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

TREATMENT PROGRAM

WHAT IS HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is the medical use of oxygen at a higher level than the oxygen concentration in the atmosphere. It involves staying in a pressurized environment for a certain amount of time, allowing the oxygen molecules to dissolve into the bloodstream. This leads to a whole host of positive cellular and physiological effects.

Treatments usually last 60-90 minutes, with the patient lying down and relaxed in the chamber.

Why do I need oxygen?

There are many conditions where an individual has decreased oxygen in their body and brain. Concussions, anemias, and stroke are a few common conditions that can impair oxygenation into the brain. As we know, oxygen is necessary for life and normal function. By increasing the oxygen into the brain and body, we can improve physiological function and improve a person’s wellbeing.

Is HBOT safe?

Hyperbaric oxygen is extremely safe for patients of all ages to use. It can yield wonderful results with children suffering from brain injuries, to adults with dementia. In fact, it has been shown to reverse some signs of aging. Some patients may report some mild ear pressure discomfort, similar to when you fly in an airplane.
