Dementia is a general term used for cognitive impairment, usually resulting from several neurological conditions. For dementia to be diagnosed, the cognitive deficits must be significant enough to interrupt daily living. There are a variety of categories measured when diagnosing; dementia may effect one or more categories depending on the severity of the condition.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy near me has the potential to reduce the level of cognitive decline and neurological damage by increasing oxygen and vascularity to the brain. HBOT in Des Moines also decreases neuroinflammation, which is one of the main driving factors with dementia.

Dementia is difficult for both the individual with it & the caretaker(s). If this is something you or a loved one is dealing with, give our team at Clarity Hyperbarics a call.
