Lyme disease

If you have one of several painful and chronic illnesses, hyperbaric oxygen treatments may be able to help ease your pain and help you recover. Hyperbaric oxygen treatments, sometimes called hyperbaric medicine, treats the patient with bottled oxygen inhaled at higher than atmospheric pressure. These kinds of treatments are not just a gimmick or a flash in the pan. They are even recognized and reimbursed by Medicare for 14 conditions, so you may not even need to worry about the hyperbaric oxygen therapy cost.

Among other long term illnesses, hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be used for chronic lyme disease treatment. Lyme disease is named after Lyme, Connecticut, where it was first recognized in the 1970s as researchers investigated an unusual amount of rheumatoid arthritis cases in the area. Lately, the geographic distribution and number of lyme disease cases has been spreading. Mild symptoms of lyme disease can be tiredness, aches, fever, and a distinct rash. If you have chronic lyme disease symptoms and pain, hyperbaric oxygen treatments may be able to help you live more comfortably.

Hyperbaric oxygen treatments can also be used on a variety of other painful and ongoing diseases and conditions, including stroke and other brain damage, radiation necrosis, other chronic pain conditions, and Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD). RSD is an ongoing pain condition that is characterized by, among other things, sensitivity to light and other physical stimuli, weakness and atrophy, and depression. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is one of the few effective Rsd treatments available. If you have been diagnosed with RSD or another disorder characterized by chronic and difficult to palliate pain, hyperbaric oxygen therapy may be able to help ease your suffering and help you to live your life. If you are concerned about cost, remember to check whether your condition is covered by Medicaid for hyperbaric oxygen treatments. More: www.florida-oxygen.com
