how Hyperbaric therapy can help 

HBOT has been shown in some studies to: Accelerate Recovery from Sports Related Injuries, Reduce Inflammation & Pain Faster Recovery from Surgeries, Amplify Recovery from Intensive Training, Enhance Performance, Improve Cognitive Functioning in Athletes with Multiple Concussions.

HBOT is often utilized by physicians and individuals to help reach a full recovery from high-impact insults to the body and is currently used by some of the U.S. Olympic Teams to treat sports-related injuries as a part of their official medical techniques and equipment. Studies have demonstrated the benefits of HBOT for sports-related injuries with the following:

Accelerate Recovery from Sports-Related Injuries

• Increases collagen production
  
• Reduces inflammation and pain
  
• Faster and better recovery from sprains tears and bone fractures
  
• Stimulates the creation of new blood vessels
  
• Enhances recovery from medial collateral ligament (MCL) and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries
  
• Decreases susceptibility towards re-injuring target areas
  
• Rapid recovery from concussions and head injuries
  
• Improves brain scan results
  

Faster Recovery from Surgeries

• Accelerates and enhances healing
  
• Reduces inflammation for optimal pre-surgical conditions
  
• Reduces risk of infection
  
• Stimulates the creation of new stem cells
  
• Decreases hospital time
  

Amplify Recovery from Intensive Training

• Accelerates healing from muscle strain
  
• Improves blood flow
  
• Increases energy levels
  

Enhance Performance 

• Improves concentration
  
• Increases serotonin levels
  
• Accelerates jet lag recovery
  
• Decreases lactic acid

NFL Athlete Improves Cognitive Functioning with HBOT

In 2011, a case report was published involving an NFL player who suffered multiple concussions. This subsequently led to the development of hydrocephalus (accumulated fluid within the brain), which required emergency shunt brain surgery. The star athlete continued playing and won the Super Bowl, only for his shunt to fail, which led to additional emergency back-to-back surgeries. Following his surgeries, he received 40, one hour treatments of HBOT. After the treatment protocol, he was independently assessed with neuro-cognitive evaluations and brain scans by the Amen Clinic in California. Marked improvement in 5 out of 6 indices on the MicroCog assessment for cognitive functioning (a computerized assessment sequence designed to detect early signs of cognitive impairment) was confirmed, in addition to drastic enhancements with respect to his brain scan.
