Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments Go Beyond Science Fiction to Rejuvenate CP Sufferers
Finding the right therapeutic treatment for your child can be confusing and overwhelming. Modern medicine presents you numerous options, some of them unorthodox. But it’s important to keep an open mind.
Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment is a form of therapy that some say resembles science fiction. It involves your child (or both of you together) sitting in a pressurized air chamber while pure oxygen is administered at a controlled pressure.
HBO treatments usually last from 60 to 90 minutes per session. Your child may have more than one session in a day. The total number of sessions will vary, but it’s common for treatment to start at 40 sessions over the course of several weeks.
In studies, increased oxygen intake and tissue saturation has shown promising results for children with brain injuries:
- Improved breathing
- New blood vessel growth
- Decreased swelling and inflammation
- Deactivation of toxins
- Strengthened immune system
If brain damage caused your child’s cerebral palsy, hyperbaric oxygen treatment is worth investigating.
Help Your Child Benefit from Modern Therapies and Other Forms of Assistance
Treatments such as hyperbaric oxygen may not be covered under your health plan. You and your child deserve assistance with this expense, but especially if your child’s cerebral palsy could have been prevented.
You also need to know that your medical team did everything possible to keep your baby safe and healthy. If your doctor failed you and your baby in any way, you may be entitled to financial help.
Be your child’s best advocate and talk to an expert. Some of his therapeutic expenses may be eligible for coverage.
