Brain Recovery After Concussion: Neurofeedback & Hyperbaric Oxygen for Mitochondrial Repair

Press release from: Healthy Within

San Diego, CA - August 06, 2025 - An increasing amount of neuroscience research shows that the real damage of a concussion goes far beyond just a "bump on the head." At the cellular level, concussions can cause mitochondrial problems, leading to a chain reaction of metabolic, inflammatory, and cognitive issues in the brain. New therapies like neurofeedback and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) are now demonstrating promising results in helping the brain recover function and resilience after injury.

*Mitochondria: The Brain's Energy Crisis Post-Concussion
Mitochondria, often called the "powerhouses" of the cell, are responsible for generating the energy neurons need to function. After a concussion, these structures become impaired, leading to decreased ATP production, increased oxidative stress, and disrupted cellular communication and repair.

"When mitochondrial function is disrupted, the brain struggles to meet energy demands, leading to symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, poor concentration, mood instability, and slowed healing," explains Dr. Divya Kakaiya, Director of Healthy Within Neurofeedback Center. Studies such as Giza & Hovda (2014, Journal of Neurotrauma) and recent research from the Frontiers in Neurology journal highlight how concussive injury causes an acute energy crisis, with long-term effects on neuroplasticity and cognitive recovery.

*Neurofeedback: Rebalancing Brain Networks
Neurofeedback(https://healthywithin.com/neurofeedback/) is a non-invasive therapy that helps retrain dysregulated brain wave activity resulting from trauma. By providing real-time feedback on brain function, it teaches the brain to self-correct patterns associated with stress, attention deficits, and cognitive sluggishness.

A 2021 study published in NeuroRegulation found that neurofeedback significantly improved executive function, attention, and emotional regulation in post-concussion patients by enhancing network connectivity and supporting the brain's default mode and attention networks.

*Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: Restoring Cellular Metabolism
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, greatly increasing oxygen levels in the blood and tissues. This boost in oxygen is crucial for mitochondrial repair, reducing inflammation, and promoting neurogenesis.

A landmark study by Boussi-Gross et al. (2013, PLOS ONE) showed that HBOT significantly enhanced cognitive function, quality of life, and brain metabolism in patients with post-concussion syndrome-even years after the initial injury. Neuroimaging confirmed structural and functional improvements in affected brain regions.

*A Synergistic Approach to Brain Recovery:
"By combining neurofeedback with HBOT, we target both software and hardware repair in the brain," says Dr. Divya Kakaiya. "Neurofeedback teaches the brain to operate in a balanced, regulated state, while HBOT accelerates the physical healing of cells and oxygenates tissues that are starved after injury."

At Healthy Within Neurofeedback Center, our integrated concussion recovery program is designed to restore brain energy, focus, and resilience-using personalized qEEG brain mapping, targeted neurofeedback protocols, and access to advanced hyperbaric therapy.

*Hope and Healing After Concussion:
Concussion recovery is often underestimated. Persistent symptoms can derail academic, athletic, and emotional well-being. But healing is possible. With modern tools and brain-based therapies, we can guide the injured brain back to balance, clarity, and vitality.
