Brain Injury Association Of North Carolina Celebrating 40 Years

Summary

We are deeply committed to the transformative power of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) in addressing the critical issues of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), particularly in our military veterans. Our attention has been drawn to the alarming rate of veteran suicides, now identified to be as high as 44 per day, a figure that reflects previously unacknowledged instances of these tragedies. Through the poignant story of the Sergeant Major Marine Corps and many others like him, we’ve seen the devastating impact of TBIs and PTSD – not just on the individuals suffering but also on their families and communities.

Our experience and studies have shown that HBOT is remarkably effective, with an efficacy rate of 98%. This breakthrough therapy has not only given hope back to our heroes but has also significantly improved their quality of life. In North Carolina, where we’ve seen HBOT approved for the treatment of PTSD in soldiers, the positive outcomes have been nothing short of revolutionary. Veterans, even those who served in the Vietnam War, have experienced substantial improvements.

But the benefits of HBOT extend beyond the military. Stroke survivors and others suffering from various neuro-inflammatory conditions have found solace and recovery in this treatment. Early intervention with HBOT can mean less treatment is required, leading to faster and more effective recovery.

We advocate for the wider recognition and adoption of HBOT. Inflammation is a common enemy in numerous diseases, and we believe that addressing this through HBOT can lead to significant advancements in healthcare. Our approach combines cutting-edge science with a deep sense of compassion and care for those suffering.

We conclude with a heartfelt call – not just as a healthcare provider but as a community of caregivers and advocates – for divine assistance in our journey. We pray for the wisdom to fully utilize the potential of HBOT in alleviating unnecessary suffering. We are committed to pioneering this journey, bringing hope and healing through the power of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.
