April 2025 Impact Report: Healing, Hope & Hyperbarics
At Healing with Hyperbarics of North Dakota, every month brings new stories of transformation. In April, we continued to advance our mission—offering safe, evidence-based hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO therapy) while expanding access to care for Veterans, concussion patients, and individuals with brain injuries and chronic or complex conditions.
Concussion Recovery: April 2025 Results & Highlights
We’re proud to continue leading the way in concussion care. April was another powerful month in our work to treat both acute concussions and post-concussion syndrome (PCS):
3 acute concussions treated
1 post-concussion patient supported through recovery
These numbers represent much more than treatment—they reflect lives changed through compassionate care and a science-backed path to recovery.
Our HBO therapy protocol is not just about managing symptoms. It’s about healing at the root by:
Repairing damaged brain tissue
Reducing swelling and inflammation
Restoring oxygen to injured areas
We follow the Denham TREAT a Concussion Protocol, a physician-developed, personalized process based on years of research and experience. Whether you're newly injured or still facing lingering PCS symptoms, our team tailors every treatment plan for your timeline, goals, and response to care.
Acute vs. Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS)
Acute Concussions
Defined as injuries treated within the first 10 days. Our protocol is built for rapid improvement, with many patients seeing significant results in just a few days.
Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS)
PCS refers to symptoms that linger for weeks, months, or even years after an injury. Our tailored HBO treatment plans provide a hopeful path forward—supporting cognitive clarity, physical recovery, and emotional balance.
Patient feedback continues to affirm the difference this approach makes:
“I suffered a concussion that left me with constant dizziness, balance issues, some vomiting, and immediately after my 1st treatment I felt 10–15% better. After doing a week of treatment I was back to 85–90%. The staff were great and I’d highly recommend this treatment for post-concussion injury!”
— Devyn H.
Our Concussion Recovery Track Record
Since 2016, Healing with Hyperbarics has helped heal more than 1,000 concussions—and we continue to refine our protocols for even better results.
Our message is simple:
Concussions can be treated. Healing is possible. And it starts here.
Far From Fargo: The Reach of Our Hyperbaric Care
In April, concussion patients traveled a combined 312 miles to access care at our Fargo clinic.
Every mile tells a story—of perseverance and hope. Whether coming from across town or across state lines, more people are discovering that they don’t have to accept a “new normal.” These numbers reflect more than just distance; they represent determination, trust, and the growing awareness that real concussion recovery is possible.
Check out our U.S. map in the clinic—each pin represents a patient who traveled to our Fargo clinic for hyperbaric oxygen therapy. From across the Midwest and beyond, healing journeys are starting right here.
Veteran Healing Spotlight
One of the most meaningful parts of our mission is offering free monthly hyperbaric treatment days for Veterans—a commitment rooted in gratitude for their service to us … with care that truly heals.
In April:
7 Veterans received treatment at no cost
2 Veterans completed full treatment protocols, fully funded by generous community donations
These full-course completions aren’t just medical milestones—they are stories of renewed hope, restored purpose, and proof of what’s possible when a community comes together.
Behind every number is a story of resilience. Many Veterans battle traumatic brain injury (TBI), PTSD, and long-term mental health struggles. HBO therapy works by:
Reducing inflammation
Stimulating new blood vessel growth
Repairing oxygen-starved tissue
Restoring brain function
The result? Improved sleep, mood, focus, memory, and emotional regulation—often in just a few sessions.
We are deeply grateful to our donors and community partners who make this healing possible.
We are so thankful for our community and your continued support of our work with Veterans. We wouldn’t be able to do what we do without you.
HBO Therapy Advocacy: North Dakota Votes for Veteran Coverage
In April, North Dakota became the 11th state to vote in favor of HBOT coverage for Veterans with TBI and PTSD—a massive leap forward in making healing accessible to those who served.
But the fight isn’t over yet. Here's how you can keep the momentum going:
Share our resources with the Veterans in your life
Keep advocating for true treatment for brain injuries and PTSD—not just symptom management
Every voice matters. Every action counts. Together, we are changing the future of brain injury care—for Veterans and beyond.
What Patients Are Saying
Healing isn’t just physical—it’s personal. And we’re honored when patients share their experience:
“Dr. Daphne [Denham] is one of a kind! She knows how to actually get your brain healing and has the biggest heart and truly cares. This place is a must for anyone suffering a concussion.”
— Dina D.
