What is Concussion?
Concussion and traumatic brain injury (TBI) create sudden damage to the brain caused by a blow or jolt to the head. Common causes include motor vehicle accidents, falls, and sports injuries. Both severe cases of TBI and mild TBI, or concussions, can lead to long-term health complications such as depression, confusion, depression, cognitive decline, loss of motor skills, sleep disruption, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, and more, sometimes lasting many years after the injury.
Traumatic brain injuries and concussions damage the brain by disrupting or restricting blood flow to certain brain regions, which impacts the brain’s ability to function properly. We know that the brain needs an adequate supply of oxygen to repair damage – and that’s where the Aviv Medical Program comes in.

How can the Aviv Medical Program help heal a traumatic brain injury?
At Aviv Clinics, our physicians first diagnose the severity of the brain injury based on the results of a comprehensive assessment.
Our clinical team then collaborates to develop a personalized, multidisciplinary treatment plan based on your test results and recovery goals. Your individualized play may include hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) sessions alongside other interventions like cognitive exercises, physical training, and dietary coaching.
At your request, we can repeat your assessments at the end of your treatment cycle. These additional tests will identify your cognitive and physical improvements and guide your recommendations for ongoing progress.

Groundbreaking Clinical Trial Shows Remarkable Results for Kids With TBI
Published in Scientific Reports, a breakthrough clinical trial shows that the Aviv HBOT protocol can treat damaged brain tissue and relieve ongoing post-concussion symptoms.
In the study, pediatric patients in the treatment group experienced a significant increase in cognitive function. This included general cognitive improvements as well as boosted memory and executive function, following the HBOT treatment.
Additional improvements included a positive change in brain structure, and reduction in mental health issues such as anxiety, depression and others.

Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS) Can Occur After a TBI
Most head injury symptoms dissipate within a few weeks of the incident. Lingering concussion symptoms that last more than three months are a clear sign that your brain has not healed, and additional treatment is needed. To assess you for post-concussion syndrome, Aviv physicians will review your health and concussion history, conduct a physical exam, and perform additional assessments that may include MRI and SPECT scans, as well as neurocognitive and neurological tests.
“HBOT can be successful because it addresses the cause of the symptoms, not just the symptoms alone.” — Dr. Mohammed Elamir, MD, FACP
If you or a loved one experienced a concussion or TBI and are still suffering symptoms months or years after the injury, we may be able to help.
