I read the article in Tiger Rag about Les Mile's support for hyperbaric oxygen therapy to treat concussions. The article says that the medical folks in Louisiana(doctors and insurance companies) are balking to prescribe or pay for the therapy.

I live in MN, and the hyperbaric oxygen treatment is an important therapy being used to promote healing. The chamber at Rochester Mayo is quite busy, and it accommodates groups of at least 6 at a time. Rochester Mayo insurance, known as MMSI, paid for my ex-wife's treatment. They used it pre and post surgery for her on at least two occasions, and she was in that chamber for about 70 different treatments before and after two surgeries.

I support Coach Miles in his bid to use Hyperbaric therapy to help recovery from concussions. Link below:

Not surprised this is being used. High O2 levels promote neuropathway regeneration. We used it briefly for my son after suffering a brain injury. Unfortunately, his injury was more severe than what hyperbaric therapay is effective for.
