For decades, Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has proven to be an innovative, proven treatment for many conditions. HBOT involves breathing 100% infused oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. This enables oxygen to reach every part of the body, where it both repairs damaged cells and encourages new cellular growth (1).

You’ve surely heard of liposuction, but have you heard about surgical fat transfer? It’s an increasingly popular cosmetic surgery that moves fat from one part of the body to another (1). Fat is often removed from the thighs or stomach and added to the breasts or backside. The procedure can offer good results, but it comes with many risks.

Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a group of inherited connective tissue disorders, primarily affecting joints, skin, and blood vessels (1). The most common type is Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), which primarily affects the joints and causes widespread chronic pain. Once thought to be extremely rare, hEDS is now believed to be much more common than previously thought.

Deena is an active, 66-year-old physical therapist with a dance background. For over 35 years, she dealt with chronic knee pain after a martial art dance injury in her mid-20s. Years of physical therapy, an active lifestyle, and two knee surgeries gave her only partial relief. In January 2019, Deena had a full surgical knee replacement. We treated her at our clinic both before and after the surgery, and she healed so well, her doctor called her “the poster child for knee replacement recovery.”

Chronic regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is an uncommon and very painful condition that usually affects an arm or leg. Often developing after an injury, surgery, or major medical event, CRPS is one of the most painful conditions in existence (1). The pain is usually more severe than the initial injury itself. Symptoms of CRPS include continuous burning or throbbing pain, cold or touch sensitivity, swelling, skin temperature changes, skin color changes, skin texture changes, joint stiffness, muscle spasms, and decreased ability to move the affected body part (1).
