AHA Hyperbarics Medical System – certified to repair the brain after stroke

In August 2021, Martin Huber (52) and his wife celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary.

Unfortunately, during their dinner, Martin’s fork fell out of his hand, and instead of explaining that he didn’t feel well, he managed only to mumble incoherently. An ambulance took Martin to the nearest hospital, where he was immediately diagnosed with a stroke.

Martin spent a week in the hospital’s neurology department before being transferred to a rehabilitation clinic. Luckily for him, he didn’t need surgery, but he was given medication to dissolve blood clots that were obstructing the blood flow to his brain. Without the ability to speak, with facial paralysis and an immobile left arm, Martin started rehabilitation and worked hard to gain at least some of his abilities back.

Today, Martin walks with a slight limp, his arm is partly immobile, and his speech is slow, and his life and the life of his family is largely affected by the stroke. His wife says he’s improving slowly but surely. However, she’s afraid that he will never be the same person he was before the stroke. But is this the best modern medicine can do? Isn’t there a better way to help our loved ones getting control of their life back after stroke?
