Will Hyperbaric chamber treatment help me with chronic leg pain due to arthritis and blood clots?
I’m constantly in pain with arthritic condition in my legs and probably due to spinal stenosis of some sort. I already had a laminectomy of my c2-c3 vertebrae but still continue to have pain in both legs. My left leg also has two blood clots, one above and one below my knee. I am being treated with coumadin for the clots but the general pain goes through my entire legs. I’ve heard that hyperbaric chamber treatment will help me with this condition. If so, why haven’t the many doctors I’ve seen brought this up as an alternative treatment? Anyone that can help or point me in the right direction please respond. Thanks
The treatment of arthritis and blood clots is not an approved use of HBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.)
This is the first I’ve heard of HBOT being suggested for use in arthritic pain, other than some folks believe it helps with the treatment of Lyme Disease (not for the symptoms of it, however.)
Everyone has a friend who has heard that HBOT is the miracle cure for “this or that,” and the internet also helps to spread these rumors. From Lyme, to Cebrebral Palsey, to stroke… everyone is so desperate to find a positive treatment that they clutch to the hope that unscrupulous persons push at them.
There are HBOT clinics out there that will treat your hang nail with HBOT… or try to sell you a home-use chamber that is really ineffective. For the official word, check out the link I’ve listed as a source below. They are the society that sets the standards for HBOT.
