What are Concussions and TBIs?
Concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) occur when the brain experiences a sudden impact or jolt, disrupting normal brain function. Common symptoms include headaches, memory loss, confusion, mood changes, and difficulty concentrating. In more severe or repeated cases, TBIs can lead to long-term complications such as Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE)—a progressive brain condition linked to repeated head trauma.
While traditional treatments focus on rest and symptom management, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) offers a powerful, science-backed solution to support brain healing at a deeper level. Studies continue to be funded to support further research on the impact of HBOT on traumatic brain injuries. At MD Hyperbaric, we use 100% pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber to flood the body—and more importantly, the brain—with increased oxygen. This enhances blood flow, reduces inflammation, and promotes the repair of damaged brain tissue.
HBOT has been shown to improve a variety of medical conditions, including neurological function in TBI patients, by stimulating neurogenesis (the creation of new brain cells), reducing brain swelling, and supporting cognitive recovery. This is especially beneficial for those suffering from long-term effects of concussions or those at risk of CTE, including athletes, military veterans, and accident survivors.
At MD Hyperbaric, we customize every HBOT treatment to each individual’s condition, symptoms, and recovery goals. Our compassionate team is dedicated to helping patients regain mental clarity, improve memory, reduce headaches, and restore quality of life after a brain injury. If you or a loved one is dealing with the effects of a concussion, TBI, or CTE, HBOT may offer a critical step forward in healing. Contact MD Hyperbaric today to learn how our advanced oxygen therapy treatments can help improve brain function and support lasting recovery.

Candidates for concussion and traumatic brain injury HBOT treatment include anyone with head injuries causing headaches, dizziness, confusion, or cognitive issues. This often includes athletes, military personnel, accident victims, and those with persistent symptoms seeking alternative therapies.
How are Concussions and TBIs Treated?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) treats concussions and TBIs by increasing oxygen absorption in a pressurized environment, boosting oxygen delivery to the brain. This stimulates cell repair, reduces swelling, promotes new blood vessel growth, and improves cognitive function, offering a noninvasive way to support and accelerate brain healing and improve cognitive performance.

The best! The team ensures that you’re safe and that you have a terrific experience - it’s so clean! I highly recommend for before and after any surgeries or for general wellness.
A wonderful experience! This was my first time ever trying HBOT, as I recently had surgery and received a recommendation to try it to help with the recovery process. I was a bit nervous at first with worries about how I would react to ear pressure changes, but I handled it very well with no problems at all. Killian the safety tech was top notch, going over every detail with me so I would both be comfortable and not anxious in any way. I felt comfortable the whole time. The pod is not claustrophobic at all to me, and I’m someone who gets a little nervous in MRI/CT machines. I was able to read and relax and felt great the whole time. I wound up signing up for a 5 package treatment to see how I do before going in to see my surgeon for a progress update. A top of the line experience, 10 stars!
Very efficient check-in with friendly staff. Tranquil experience and felt completely refreshed after one 1-hour session. Comfortable chambers with pillows and foam padding - felt very safe. Highly recommend for medical and/or recreational use.
MDHyperbaric is my lifeline! I was diagnosed with leukemia around a year ago, and I have a host of inflammatory issues that seem to cause brain fog & burning joint pain. The biggest impact that HB has had for my well being is a boost in cognition/ mental clarity- and a reduction in inflammation/ aching joints. I love the team at MDHyperbaric. MDH offer great bundles of which I’ll continue to take advantage. In summary- my quality of life has been boosted exponentially- & I’m committed to continuing this therapy for the rest of my life.
