Adjunctive Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Brain & Nervous System Health
Understanding Cognitive & Neurological Stress
Cognitive and neurological challenges may arise from a variety of factors, including:
- Prior illness or infection
- Inflammation or metabolic stress
- Reduced cerebral blood flow
- Chronic stress or fatigue
- Neurological recovery following injury
- Age-related physiological changes
These stressors may affect how efficiently the brain uses oxygen and produces energy, even in the absence of a diagnosed neurological condition.
Common Cognitive & Neurological Concerns
Individuals seeking supportive care may report:
Brain fog or mental fatigue
Difficulty with focus or concentration
Memory challenges
Slowed cognitive processing
Sleep disturbances
Emotional or mood variability
Why Oxygen Matters for Brain & Nervous System Function
The brain consumes a significant portion of the body’s oxygen supply and relies on continuous oxygen delivery to maintain normal function. When oxygen availability or utilization is reduced, the nervous system may experience:
- Decreased cellular energy production
- Increased inflammatory signaling
- Reduced neurovascular efficiency
- Slower recovery from stress or injury
Supporting oxygen delivery may help create an environment that supports neurological resilience and recovery.
How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy May Support Cognitive & Neurological Health
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves breathing 100% oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure, increasing the amount of oxygen dissolved in the blood plasma and delivered to tissues. As adjunctive support for cognitive and neurological health, HBOT may help by:
HBOT is used as supportive care only and does not treat neurological or psychiatric conditions.
