How Victory Spinal Care in Cape Girardeau Uses UC Care, HBOT, and Cold Laser Therapy to Support Healing

Head injuries—whether mild traumatic brain injuries (MTBI), concussions, or more severe trauma—can have long-lasting effects on your well-being. Symptoms often include headaches, memory issues, difficulty concentrating, and persistent fatigue, making it crucial to seek care that addresses the root cause of these issues.

Understanding Head Injuries and Concussions

Concussions and MTBIs occur when a sudden impact to the head causes the brain to shift or twist within the skull. This can result in a variety of symptoms, from dizziness to cognitive impairment, and if not addressed properly, can lead to post-concussion syndrome.
At Victory Spinal Care, we offer comprehensive treatments for head injuries that combine advanced therapies, including Upper Cervical (UC) Chiropractic care, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), and Cold Laser Therapy, to help patients recover fully.

How Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care Helps

Upper Cervical Chiropractic care focuses on the alignment of the top vertebrae in the spine, which plays a crucial role in nervous system function. Misalignments in the upper cervical spine can increase pressure on the brainstem and spinal cord, worsening symptoms of head injuries like dizziness, headaches, and cognitive fog.

By gently correcting these misalignments, our team at Victory Spinal Care helps restore normal nerve flow, which is critical for healing. Proper alignment can significantly reduce inflammation and improve blood flow to the brain, expediting recovery from concussions and other brain injuries.

Real-World Results: Jim McMahon’s Story

Former Chicago Bears quarterback Jim McMahon is a well-known advocate of Upper Cervical Chiropractic care. After years of suffering from debilitating concussion symptoms, he found relief through this specific form of care. McMahon credits UC care for helping him recover cognitive clarity and reducing his pain.

The Power of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

At Victory Spinal Care, we also use Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy to treat head injuries. HBOT works by delivering pure oxygen in a pressurized environment, allowing more oxygen to dissolve in the bloodstream. This can speed up the body’s healing process, reduce inflammation, and promote faster recovery from brain trauma.

Oxygen is critical for brain function, and after a concussion, the brain often struggles to get the oxygen it needs to repair itself. HBOT supports natural healing by increasing oxygen delivery to damaged tissues, promoting neurogenesis (new brain cells), and enhancing cognitive function.

Cold Laser Therapy: Supporting Tissue Healing and Pain Relief

Another tool in our treatment arsenal is Cold Laser Therapy, which uses low-level laser light to penetrate deep into tissues, stimulating cellular repair and reducing inflammation. This therapy is often used to treat lingering pain, reduce swelling, and promote recovery in patients suffering from head injuries.

By targeting the affected areas, Cold Laser Therapy enhances cellular energy production, aiding in tissue regeneration. It’s particularly effective for patients dealing with lingering neck pain or headaches after a head injury.

Why Seek Treatment for Head Injuries?

Head injuries can lead to long-term issues if not treated properly. Whether you’ve recently experienced a concussion or have been struggling with post-concussion syndrome, seeking care early can prevent the worsening of symptoms and support faster healing.

At Victory Spinal Care, our integrated approach allows us to address both the neurological and physical aspects of head injuries. Combining UC chiropractic, HBOT, and Cold Laser Therapy gives our patients the best chance at full recovery.
