Joe Namath believes hyperbaric treatments cure brain damage

New York Jets legend Joe Namath is convinced he’s found the cure for concussion-related brain damage.

The Hall of Fame quarterback took his fair share of crushing blows to the head during his playing days. He was completely knocked out at least five times in his career “with no treatment except smelling salts,” per ESPN’s Peter Keating. As a result, Namath began experiencing some cognitive challenges and sought to find help.

Namath discovered Jupiter Medical Center in 2012 and began a treatment plan with the facility that centered around spending time in a hyperbaric chamber.
