“After a serious concussion, the hyperbaric capsule, which we used for 3 months at home daily, and the exercises and support, my wife has been able to live normally again.”

Concussion Recovery with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
What is a Concussion?
A concussion results from a significant blow, jarring, or trauma to the head or neck. According to Dr. Gary Dennis, founder of Concussion Care, “It can occur from a hit to the head or a sudden head movement, such as whiplash.” Common causes include car accidents and full-contact sports, where players may collide.
50% of concussions go unreported or undetected.
Individuals under 30 account for 63% of ACC concussion claims.
Approximately 36,000 people in New Zealand sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI) each year.
Concussion Recovery and the Healing Power of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
“Each concussion presents a unique set of symptoms,” explains Dr. Dennis. “Rehabilitation requires a customised recovery plan tailored to the individual's needs.”
After an Initial Assessment and Functional Testing, we will provide recommendations to help manage your recovery at home. Dr. Dennis emphasises the critical role of HBOT in concussion recovery, recommending it for anyone who has suffered a head injury.
Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Concussion
At Cocoon, we recognise that a concussion can significantly impact your life. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) can help you on your path to recovery through:
Brain Rejuvenation: HBOT delivers a gentle boost of oxygen, nourishing and rejuvenating brain tissues essential for healing post-concussion.
Reduced Inflammation: By decreasing inflammation, HBOT provides relief from headaches and cognitive difficulties that often accompany brain injuries.
Improved Blood Flow: Enhanced blood circulation to affected areas of the brain aids in nutrient delivery and supports the healing process.
Regained Cognitive Function: HBOT can improve memory and clarity, helping you overcome cognitive fog and regain mental sharpness.
Enhanced Mood: Alleviating mood swings and anxiety, HBOT promotes emotional well-being during your recovery journey.
Speedier Recovery: Supporting the body's natural healing processes, HBOT may accelerate recovery, allowing you to return to a fulfilling life more quickly.
Holistic Well-Being: We focus on your emotional and mental health, assisting you in rediscovering a sense of wholeness beyond physical healing.
For optimal results, begin HBOT immediately after your injury and adhere to the concussion recovery protocols recommended by Concussion Care. Expect significant improvement within six weeks if treatment starts early; however, if initiated months later, a complete recovery may take up to twelve weeks.
