Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can lead to improvements in cognitive, psychiatric, sleep, pain, and fatigue symptoms in patients with “Long COVID”. These improvements may be linked to enhanced brain perfusion and neuroplasticity in specific brain regions. Further research is needed to optimize treatment protocols and explore long-term outcomes but these initial results are promising.
You have a health insurance card in your wallet or purse, so why would you ever consider pulling out cash instead of handing over your card? Well, the answer might surprise you.
Let’s face it, the current healthcare system is broken. Why is the national average 24 days to see a doctor? Why are patients forced into a ten story parking garage to walk hundreds of thousands of square feet in a hospital to find their doctor’s office? Even worse, why are patients forced to drive all over town to go to different specialty appointments, imaging, and physical therapy? If you ask us at Aptiva Health, we believe there is a better way.

Physical therapy is a valuable component in the management and rehabilitation of individuals with concussions. Physical therapists help manage concussion-related symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, balance problems, and visual disturbances through techniques like manual therapy and gentle exercises. They also provide vestibular rehabilitation to address balance issues and visual rehabilitation to improve eye movements and coordination. Customized exercise programs are developed to gradually reintroduce physical activity and improve stamina and cardiovascular fitness. Physical therapists educate patients on activity modification and lifestyle adjustments, treat neck-related issues, and collaborate with other healthcare professionals for comprehensive care. Treatment plans are tailored to each patient's specific needs and goals.

However, when your quality of life is affected by a traumatic event, it’s time to reach out for professional help.
