Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Concussion Recovery in NZ: Can It Speed Up Healing?
Can Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Speed Up Concussion Recovery in NZ?
Concussions are more than just a bump on the head—they can lead to long-term cognitive issues, fatigue, headaches, and difficulty concentrating. Many people struggle with prolonged concussion symptoms, often referred to as post-concussion syndrome (PCS).
At Cocoon Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, we specialize in a unique approach to concussion recovery using mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (mHBOT). This safe, non-invasive treatment increases oxygen levels in the brain, helping to reduce inflammation, improve cognitive function, and speed up recovery.
How Does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Work for Concussions?
A concussion disrupts normal brain function by reducing oxygen flow and causing inflammation. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) works by delivering high levels of oxygen under controlled pressure, allowing the brain to heal faster.
Reduces inflammation that prolongs concussion symptoms
Improves cognitive clarity and reduces brain fog
Supports faster healing by increasing oxygen supply to damaged tissues
Helps with post-concussion fatigue and improves energy levels
May aid in reducing headaches, dizziness, and sleep disturbances
Many concussion sufferers in New Zealand find that traditional rest and rehabilitation alone may not be enough. That’s where Cocoon’s HBOT therapy comes in—it actively accelerates the body’s natural recovery process.
