A self-regulation therapy that teaches patients how to control their brainwaves (as detected by EEG) by controlling their arousal levels. Some evidence suggests it may help with easing behavioral symptoms caused by head trauma, as well as ADHD and chronic stress.

Electroencephalogram (EEG) Neurofeedback

Prescribed sleep consists of symptom-limited cognitive and physical rest for an extended time period (at least a few days) post-injury. After this acute rest period, moderate activity, both cognitive and physical, is recommended to eventually reach pre-injury activity levels.

Prescribed Sleep

OCMM is a physical therapy based off of the idea that the anatomy of the cranium reflects the human body as a whole. It utilizes the primary respiratory mechanism as its main treatment component, which consists of the mobility of the cranial bones, sacrum, dura membranes, central nervous system, and cerebrospinal fluid. 

Osteopathic Cranial Manipulative Medicine (OCMM)

HBOT involves a chamber that is slowly pressurized to approximately double the amount of normal air pressure with pure oxygen. This method ideally supplements the hypoxic brain with oxygen.
