Any intervention that improves oxygen to the brain, will often improve brain function. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy enhances circulating oxygen by allowing it to dissolve into the plasma, or fluid of our blood, improving its ability to penetrate the brain, healing brain tissue and optimizing function.
Research has shown HBOT to be highly successful in promoting increased brain function in kids with Autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, and other childhood development disorders, enhancing their ability to perform mental tasks, both socially and non-socially.
Increasing circulation, along with oxygen content to the blood, growing new blood vessels, reducing inflammation, improving detoxification, balancing stress systems within the sympathetic/parasympathetic systems are all involved in promoting healthier brain function for these kids.
The benefits of Hyperbaric for these kids have been repeatedly shown in research and although they are not curative for all conditions, can be a great modality to use in managing your child’s particular needs.
