Stroke recovery with Hyperbaric Oxygen
The above situations sound familiar to you?
Living with disability is difficult. More than 400,000 Canadians are living with long-term stroke disability. Faced with the prospect of lifelong dependence for activities as basic and routine as self-care, stroke survivors do everything they can to regain even just a fraction of their previous capability. You no doubt share the same sentiment, driving you to work tirelessly with your physical, occupational, and speech therapists in the hope of achieving some degree of recovery.
You may think you have exhausted all available measures in your pursuit of recovery. Still, there is one fundamental therapy you can do to enhance the various exercise therapies and boost your potential for recovery - Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.
High quality evidence shows hyperbaric oxygen therapy can promote functional recovery after stroke. Remarkably, the therapy helps even if the stroke occurred years ago and protects the brain against stroke reoccurrences. It works by efficiently delivering large amounts of oxygen to the brain, vital to the repair and regeneration of stroke-damaged areas. Over time you slowly regain strength and sensation, along with a brighter mood.
Similar to other therapies, patience and commitment are essential as progress takes place one step at a time. Recovering from stroke is not an easy journey, but understand and take heart in knowing that even the smallest improvement can decrease the burden for both you and your family, and improve your quality of life.
The quotes above are stories shared to us by some of our stroke clients. They all started out the same - disabled because of stroke - and they gave themselves a better chance to recover. Similar to them, do you wish to achieve a healthier, more productive state of mind and body?
