Multiple Sclerosis and Fibromyalgia Therapies

We specialize in chronic immune dysfunctions and have treated hundreds of patients with varying symptoms. We are different from other facilities in that we do not focus on symptom management, but more on treating the underlying causes of the condition and repairing immunity to restore health naturally. We develop a highly effective, customized treatment program to heal your condition. Each of these conditions is complex and requires a medical profession to develop a whole body protocol.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

The number of Americans suffering from the debilitating effects of Multiple Sclerosis is estimated to be a quarter of a million and growing. MS is a central nervous system disease that is thought to be an autoimmune condition generated by a virus, although definite causes are unknown at this time. The condition is characterized as a relapsing and remitting disease that is aggravated by stress and an abnormal immune system, which results in inflammation, damage and hardening of myelin and nerve fibers that typically occurs in the spinal cord, brain stem and optic nerves.

Multiple Sclerosis symptomology includes weakness, severe pain, loss of vision, and extreme pain, which are caused by slowed nerve impulses as a result of damage to the nerves or myelin, which is known as demyelination. Persons with MS also suffer from balance problems, bladder and bowel dysfunction, difficulty walking, vision loss and pain in eyes, depression, neurological dysfunction, spasticity of muscles, and debilitating fatigue.

Fibromyalgia (FMS)

It is estimated that approximately 3-6% of the U.S. population suffers with Fibromyalgia. The condition is often associated with other immune disorders such as chronic fatigue syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, or complex regional pain syndrome, and displays a vast range of symptomology. There is no definitive laboratory test for diagnosis and the causes of FMS unknown at this time. It is classified as a chronic pain condition and can be characterized by widespread aches, pain and stiffness, tissue tenderness, fatigue and inability to sleep. Persons with Fibromyalgia typically display several tender points where the pain tends to concentrate, although pain can be present in any part of the body. Many times patients diagnosed with FMS are confused with patients with similar symptomology and are given a diagnosis of additional immune disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Treatment Programs

Many times patients with Fibromyalgia and Multiple Sclerosis are misdiagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple chemical sensitivity, thyroid condition, diabetes, depression, or even arthritis. There is vast range of symptomology present in these conditions as in other immune disorders, which further complicates proper treatment. Our focus is to treat the underlying causes such as the dysfunctional immune system and the toxicity of the body rather than masking symptoms with pharmaceuticals. Therefore, while each treatment plan is customized to the patient, the basis for all immune compromised patients is similar.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric oxygen treatments infuse the body with oxygen, increasing O2 levels by up to 1000% in body tissues through the increased pressure. This oxygenation of the tissues allows better functioning of organ systems and has been shown to lessen pain and increase movement and flexibility in chronic pain patients. Viruses are unable to survive in the presence of abundant oxygen, therefore a significant “die-off” of viruses and bacteria is experienced when undergoing hyperbaric treatments. Hyperbaric therapy also acts as an immune modulator and allows organ and gland functionality to normalize, reducing many debilitating symptoms. Because the chambers pressurize the atmosphere, hyperbaric acts as a detoxifier as well. By forcing oxygen into the tissues through this pressure, toxins, chemicals and other impurities are forced out.

MS and Hyperbaric

Extensive international medical research, over the past twenty years, has demonstrated that hyperbaric oxygen therapy will be considered an integral role in the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis. In many parts of the world, hyperbaric is considered a key component of an effective MS treatment program. In some countries in Europe, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is covered by insurance and is the main treatment for MS.

More and more medical researchers have come to regard hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a potent therapy for the successful treatment of multiple sclerosis without the side effects associated with many pharmaceuticals. Hyperbaric has been shown to reduce pain significantly, modulate the immune system, increase energy, alleviate sleep dysfunction, and reduce cognitive impairment. In most cases, patients are also able to discontinue use of many of their pharmaceuticals. Some theories suggest that Multiple Sclerosis could be attributed to a lack of oxygen in the body, resulting in the lesions that appear on the spinal cord of patients undergoing SPECT scans. Regardless of what the causes of MS are, there is irrefutable evidence supporting the treatment of MS patients with hyperbaric oxygen.
