Specifically, MRI-DTI’s are revealing what was once considered invisible wounds of the brain. Some Veterans and First Responders have requested a second MRI-DTI after completing all treatments. These follow up MRI-DTI’s have shown significant and visible healing of fiber tracts resulting in lives restored. What a sight to see! Read More

Veterans with brain wounds will talk about how much relief they get from Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, particularly the ability to get off the drugs that seemingly made them worse, not better.

Concussion Protocols are rooted in a series of medical myths: the “best treatment” for a Concussion is recognition, rest, time, symptom reduction, second-hit avoidance, information, and certainty that most concussions heal on their own.
