STROKE IS THE FOURTH LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH & REMAINS A LEADING CAUSE OF ADULT DISABILITY

800,000 new cases are reported every year. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has been shown to help prevent and treat stroke through a number of different mechanisms. HBOT can be used to precondition the brain by producing more circulatory pathways to potentially decrease the chance of stroke. Also, this has been shown to benefit post-stroke patients, as compromised blood flow to the affected area of the brain and its functionality are recoverable by introducing increased levels of oxygen. Studies have demonstrated the benefits of HBOT for stroke with the following:

STROKE PREVENTION WITH HBOT

• Stimulates the Creation of New Blood Vessels

• Promotes Optimal Blood Flow

• Decreases Oxidative Stress in the Brain

• Preconditions the Brain to Enable Neuroprotective Properties  

 

STROKE RECOVERY WITH HBOT

• Faster Overall Recovery

• Improves Vision and Speech

• Reduces Paralysis

• Accelerates Gross/Fine Motor Skills Recovery

• Increases Brain Tissue Recovery

• Stimulates the Creation of Blood Vessels to Reclaim Damaged Brain Tissue

• Promotes the Creation of New Brain Cells

• Escalates the Creation of New Brain Connections

• Alleviates Spastically
