Our 25 Minute Dive
25 Minute Dive
Your First Visit and What it Costs:
On your first visit to Clarity, our primary goal is your safety. We will gather some pertinent health information, as well as your reason for seeking hyperbaric treatment. We will then perform a neurologic scan to determine how adaptable your body is at this time.
After scanning is complete, our doctors will assess you history, scan results, expectations for HBOT, potential risks, costs of treatment, and confirm that you are a good candidate for HBOT at our office.
This first appointment takes approximately 30 minutes, but many of our patients remark that it is the most detailed exam they have received.
Once you have gone through the initial assessment and agreed to our doctors recommendations for treatment, you are ready to begin hyperbaric treatment. Hyperbaric treatment normally comes in blocks of 30-40 treatments for most chronic injuries or conditions that are over 6 months old. Diagnoses and conditions that are less than 6 months old can require less treatment.
Depending on the condition, our doctors my recommend some specialized imaging that can alter the course of care. You should expect to be under rigorous treatment for 2-3 months depending on your condition, and your bodies adaptability. Throughout treatment, the doctors will preform re-assessments to establish the change you’ve made, and alter treatment if necessary.
During those 2-3 months, our doctors recommend suspending all non critical treatments outside of corrective spinal care from a licensed neurologically based chiropractor. They do not recommend you stopping any medications, but they do like to isolate treatment to one variable, the hyperbaric oxygen treatment. We want to make sure that the cost of hyperbaric oxygen therapy near me is being offset by results. If we can isolate hyperbaric treatments, we will be able to identify whether or not hyperbaric oxygen therapy is having the desired effects. Once you start to show a noticeable response to HBOT, our doctors will carefully re-introduce other treatment methods that can be synergistic with HBOT.
START OF TREATMENT
EXIT EVALUATION
At the end of treatment, you will have a final conversation with our doctors to discuss your progress with HBOT and talk about your next steps for healing. Options after your initial treatment are dependent on how well you do under care. With Traumatic Brain Injury, sometimes more treatment can be recommended based on the severity. Generally we recommend some form of a maintenance plan after your initial treatment, to maintain all the growthy you invested in.
AREAS SERVED
This dive is best suited for people looking to maintain all the benefits they achieved through an initial treatment plan. After investing your time and energy in our office, the last thing we want to see is regression. After we progress through an initial treatment plan, if we continue to do the same things that brought you into our office, without maintenance, we will fall right back to where we started.
For instance, in the case of an athlete at a local high school (Urbandale, Johnston, Waukee, Dowling, or Ames High) or even a collegiate athlete (Iowa State University, Grand View University, DMACC, or Simpson) who experiences repeated head trauma, we can see reoccurrences of symptoms if not properly retreated.
Muscle Recovery
Our 25 minute dive is optimal for muscle recovery as well. The best time to utilize the hyperbaric chamber is immediately following your workout before the lactic acid has an opportunity to set in. As CrossFit athletes themselves, our doctors utilize the chamber following their workouts, and notice a significant increase in their ability to recover after a tough workout. There is NO supplement for 100% pure oxygen, experience recovery in a whole new light today.
