"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. "
- Arthur L, Asheville, N.C.
"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."
