Stroke/ Traumatic Brain Injury Therapies

According to the Centers for Disease Control, Stroke is the third largest cause of death for both men and women in the United States. Strokes are caused by a restricted blood flow to one or more areas of the brain, many times caused by a blood clot and results in a deficiency of oxygen to the brain cells. Many times this lack of oxygenation in the brain may cause sections of the brain to cease normal function. Stroke symptoms include sudden numbness or weakness, sometimes occurring on one side of the body, sudden confusion or mental imparity, difficulty walking, dizziness, or sudden vision impairment. We have seen great success in our Stroke and Brain Injured patients using the following therapies:

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Regenerative Cell Therapy
Detoxification
Chelation Therapy
Custom Nutritional Supplementation
Natural- Biological Medications

Hyperbaric Oxygen

Many times, a stroke can cause some cells in the brain to be dormant. These "sleeping cells" differ from brain cells that have died in that they can be awakened and develop into fully functioning cells with increased oxygen delivery. The metabolism of oxygen and nutrients within the brain tissue is restored, assisting in the renewal of damaged areas which are suffering from hypoxia or lack of oxygen

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is the most effective means to increase the oxygen supply and is considered a safe and promising treatment for stroke patients. Patients lay comfortably in an oxygen rich chamber under a slight pressurization, which assists in the absorption of oxygen. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is utilized in the treatment of stroke and severe brain injured patients and research has proven its safety and effectiveness for these conditions dating back to 1965.

HBOT generates new blood vessels and improves circulation to damaged areas of the brain. The hyperbaric chamber pressurizes to force oxygen into the blood stream and tissues of the body, resulting in a greater absorption of oxygen. This high oxygen absorption does not occur when breathing oxygen in normal atmospheric pressure.

At our medical clinic, we have treated several stroke and brain injured patients with mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy and have seen the following benefits:
