Benefits of HBOT After a Concussion Research
1. Improved Cognitive Function
Mechanism: HBOT enhances oxygen delivery to hypoxic brain tissue, facilitating repair of neural pathways.
Research:
A study by Boussi-Gross et al. (2013) on post-concussion syndrome patients demonstrated significant improvements in memory, attention, and executive function following 40 HBOT sessions.
Boussi-Gross R, et al. PLoS One. 2013;8(11):e79995.
2. Reduction in Post-Concussion Symptoms (PCS)
Symptoms Improved: Headaches, dizziness, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and mood swings.
Research:
Harch et al. (2012) showed that 40 sessions of HBOT significantly reduced PCS in blast-induced TBI among military veterans.
Harch PG, et al. J Neurotrauma. 2012;29(1):168-85.
3. Enhanced Neuroplasticity
Mechanism: HBOT stimulates the release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and promotes angiogenesis and neurogenesis.
Research:
HBOT has been shown to increase BDNF levels and stimulate neural repair, particularly in areas of the brain that remain dormant but viable after injury.
Efrati S, et al. Front Psychol. 2021;12:638977.
4. Decreased Inflammation and Oxidative Stress
Mechanism: HBOT suppresses inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress markers commonly elevated after concussion.
Research:
A 2017 review concluded that HBOT reduces neuroinflammation and supports mitochondrial function in TBI patients.
Bailey DM, et al. Exp Neurol. 2017;298(Pt B):282-291.
5. Improved Cerebral Perfusion
Mechanism: By increasing oxygen tension, HBOT improves blood flow to damaged or dormant brain regions.
Research:
SPECT imaging from studies like Boussi-Gross (2013) showed improved perfusion to frontal and temporal lobes post-HBOT, correlating with cognitive improvements.

Back to School with Confidence: How Neurofeedback Helps Kids with ADHD & Learning Disorders As the new school year begins, many families feel a mix of excitement and stress. For children with ADHD and learning disorders, “back to school” can bring unique challenges—difficulty focusing, trouble staying organized, and struggles with memory or processing speed. These issues often lead to frustration for both kids and parents. At Synapse Brain & Spine Center, we believe every child deserves the tools to learn, grow, and thrive. That’s why we specialize in neurofeedback therapy, a safe and non-invasive way to train the brain to function more efficiently. What Is Neurofeedback? Neurofeedback uses real-time brainwave monitoring to help children improve self-regulation, focus, and emotional balance. During sessions, sensors measure brain activity and provide feedback through engaging computer games, sounds, or visual displays. Over time, the brain learns healthier patterns—much like strengthening a muscle through exercise. Why It Matters for ADHD and Learning Disorders Children with ADHD or learning differences often experience irregular brainwave activity, leading to challenges with attention, behavior, and academic performance. Neurofeedback directly addresses these underlying brain patterns rather than just managing symptoms. Research shows that neurofeedback can: Improve attention and concentration Reduce hyperactivity and impulsivity Support better emotional regulation Enhance working memory and learning capacity The Back-to-School Advantage Starting neurofeedback before or during the school year gives children an advantage: Better Classroom Focus – Staying on task and following directions becomes easier. Improved Organization – Children are better able to plan, prioritize, and complete assignments. Greater Confidence – Success in the classroom builds self-esteem and reduces frustration. Less Stress at Home – Parents notice smoother homework routines and fewer daily battles. Our Approach at Synapse At Synapse Brain & Spine Center, we begin with a QEEG brain map to understand your child’s unique brain activity. From there, we design a customized neurofeedback program that may include 10–20 sessions, depending on your child’s needs. Many families see positive changes in as little as a few weeks. Give Your Child a Strong Start This School Year If your child has ADHD or a learning disorder, don’t wait for the challenges of the school year to build up. Neurofeedback can help unlock their full potential—improving focus, behavior, and learning, all while boosting confidence. 👉 Call Synapse Brain & Spine Center today to schedule your child’s Back-to-School Neurofeedback Consultation.

Now Offering Radial Shockwave Therapy at Synapse Brain & Spine Center! We’re excited to announce that Synapse Brain & Spine Center is now offering Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT)—a non-invasive, evidence-based treatment designed to accelerate healing, reduce pain, and improve mobility for patients with chronic and acute musculoskeletal conditions. 🌊 What Is Radial Shockwave Therapy? Radial Shockwave Therapy uses acoustic pressure waves delivered to the surface of the skin to stimulate healing in deeper tissues. It’s especially effective for: Plantar fasciitis and heel pain Tennis or golfer’s elbow Shoulder tendinopathy and calcifications Chronic low back or neck pain Myofascial trigger points and scar tissue Hip, knee, or joint pain following injury This therapy is widely used by sports medicine specialists, orthopedists, and neurologically focused practices like ours—and for good reason. RSWT helps stimulate tissue regeneration, improve blood flow, and reduce pain by targeting dysfunctional neuromuscular patterns and promoting cellular repair. ✅ Why We’ve Added RSWT to Our Care Model At Synapse, our goal is to provide cutting-edge, drug-free solutions for chronic pain, neurological dysfunction, and injury recovery. Radial Shockwave Therapy fits perfectly into our integrative model alongside: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Neurofeedback Therapy Class IV Laser Therapy Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT) Chiropractic Neurological Rehabilitation By combining RSWT with these therapies, we’re seeing enhanced outcomes in patients dealing with long-standing inflammation, post-concussive symptoms, neuropathy, and orthopedic injuries. 💡 What to Expect Quick treatment: Most sessions take 10–15 minutes. Non-invasive: No anesthesia or downtime required. Evidence-based: Backed by research for soft tissue and tendon injuries. Custom-tailored: Integrated into your personalized care plan. Whether you're recovering from an auto injury, dealing with repetitive stress, or managing nerve-related muscle tightness, RSWT can be an effective and efficient addition to your recovery journey. 📅 Schedule Your Consultation Ready to explore whether Radial Shockwave Therapy is right for you? 📍 Visit us at Synapse Brain & Spine Center in Lewes, DE 📞 Call (302) 703-6998 or book online at www.synapsedelaware.com Our team is here to help you move better, heal faster, and get back to living pain-free.
