What People Are Saying About Us....
 
 
  • "I was diagnosed with RSD 18 months after a crush injury to my right leg. I discovered HBOT several years ago and after one month of treatment I was virtually pain free for 6-9 month and was able to discontinue all pain medications for that time, including Oxycontin."

  • “When I arrived here at the beginning, both of my hands were crippled.  I could not unbutton my shirt, I couldn’t open bottles, I couldn’t do seatbelts, I couldn’t cut food.  Now my hands are just tremendously better.  I feel like it’s a virtual miracle what I can do with my hands.  I can write, I can shake hands, I can do all kinds of things that I was unable to do in the beginning, and I credit Dr. Spiegel with the hyperbaric treatment. "

  • "I have had RSD for over 20 years.  It had gone undiagnosed for a long, long time.  I have has a lot of pain, cramping, swelling.  I had swelling in my arms, my chest, and my left side.  I had a lot of cramping in the feet with feet turned in and don’t want to come out.  I have had fasiculations in my legs, night sweats and day sweats from my nerves.  When I was diagnosed a year and a half ago, I went through a myriad of medications and nerve blocks.  I moved down to Florida and had upwards to 50 nerve blocks in one week.  I went back on heavy medication, doing physical therapy, water therapy, but still it continued pain. They did work somewhat for me.  I found that mediation was much too much for me to handle.  We heard of hyperbarics and came down here and I have found that the swelling that I had has gone down significantly.  My pain level has gone down.  I wasn’t cooking.  I wasn’t lifting things.  I am actually making tea and soup now.  I am doing a few more things.  The swelling has come down.  The fasiculations in the legs has come down.  I wasn’t sleeping at all, maybe 2 to 2-1/2 hours at night, and now I’m up to 6-1/2 to 7 hours and that is really very significant form me.  I see definite progressive improvement with no drugs and no shots."

  • “It had developed RSD due to a broken wrist.  Before coming to you for hyperbaric treatment I had a few other types of procedures that I cannot remember what they were called.  Anyway, they didn’t work.  I had terrible pain in my left arm, welling, stiffness of the wrist and fingers.  I could see some of the welling going down after just a few hyperbaric treatments so I knew I had to stay with it even though I was bothered some by claustrophobia.  I just tried to put my mind at ease by watching TV.  I had 20 treatments after which all swelling and pain were gone.  My arm was weak and stiff but after some physical therapy, things began to improve.  I now am free from all pain and swelling and have never had a recurrence of RSD.  I do still have just a bit of stiffness in the writs and fingers.  Not enough to keep me from doing anything that I want to do, though.  I take absolutely nothing for pain, not even aspirin or ibuprofen.  I don’t need it because I have no pain.  I am very happy that I found you and your way of treatment without drugs.  I wish everybody who find themselves in this pitiful condition knew about healing with oxygen.  I really am grateful.”

  • “I’m a 32-year-old female that was diagnosed with RSD eight years ago.  I had a soccer injury to my right foot diagnoses as RSD with swelling of the right foot, aching, burning pain, stabbing.  I had over 100 total blocks and epidurals.  None of them worked whatsoever.  Epidurals didn’t work.  Physical therapy didn’t work.  The RSD then spread through my right arm, traveling to the left side in my arms and legs so I had it in all four limbs.  I had my 29th treatment of hyperbarics today and I can get out of a wheelchair and I am now able to go in the swimming pool which I have not been able to in eight years.  I can walk on sand on the beach.  I can put my feet in the water at the beach.  I get almost a full eight hours of sleep.  The pain has decreased tremendously due to hyperbaric treatment that I have received.  I use a cane a little bit.  Other than that, my strength has been getting stronger and life has changed.”

  • “I wanted to write and tell you and everyone else how well your treatment worked.  The whole experience was wonderful and amazing.  Everyone was so helpful and made sure everything was going great.  Marcia was so helpful and worked hard to get us in as soon as possible.  Phil was so sweet and patient.  Any nerves I had going into the tank he took away.  If you had any questions he took as long as possible to explain and to make sure you really understood what was going to happen. The treatment in itself was amazing!”

  • “I had injured my ankle in 1996. I have been through so many nerve blocks I can’t even count how many.  I have been on narcotics. It really changed my life. I wasn’t able to exercise or live my life the way I wanted to. I did research and came here and this is my 8th treatment that I just completed today and the swelling has gone down.  I am able to drive with no pain, because it is my right ankle. I haven’t taken any narcotics since my first treatment. I am sleeping through the night. I am able to touch parts of my leg that I wasn’t able to before. I have a lot more energy and overall it is amazing to actually feel no pain after 11 years.”
