Where Stroke Healing Begins
Pure oxygen under pressure (Hyperbarics)
promotes healing throughout the body by
reducing swelling, creating new capillaries,
increasing blood fl ow, and increasing stem
cell production 800%.
"I had the worst type of STROKE you can have.
For nine months, I was completely paralyzed on my
left side. But after just 3 months at Oxford Recovery
Center, I am walking with a walker as a result of
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and Suit Therapy."

with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Patients experienced improvements such as a
reversal of paralysis, increased sensation, and renewed use of language in stroke recovery.
Oxford Recovery Center is an integrative
care facility that aids in the recovery
from STROKE using Hyperbaric Oxygen
Therapy, Neuro Physical Therapy,

Ask Dr. Vieder
What exactly is tinnitus and what causes it?
Tinnitus is best described by “ringing in the ears” or as noise which is not being caused by an external stimulus. Common descriptions of the symptoms
include hissing, clicking or whistling sounds when there is no obvious external source for these noises. It can occur in one or both ears and may be constant
or intermittent. There are numerous causes for this phenomenon, but more commonly it is due to some acoustical trauma such as listening to music too
loud, enduring an explosion in close proximity or direct trauma to the head or ears. Tinnitus can be annoying, distressing and irritating but is generally not
life-threatening. The one exception to this rule is if the tinnitus is being caused by a tumor or vascular anomaly within the inner ear or in proximity to the ears
within the skull.
Is there a cure for tinnitus and does it contribute to hearing loss?
While there is no direct link to hearing loss associated with tinnitus, quite often people who are suffering with this condition have an associated partial or near-
complete hearing loss. Depending on the cause and specifi c type of tinnitus, there may be a cure. Unfortunately, many cases of tinnitus are indeed incurable
and can often cycle between active and dormant phases without any apparent pattern or stimulus. If you or a loved one is suffering from this type of symptom,
it's best to get evaluated by a specialist such as an ENT surgeon or audiologist to pin down potential treatable causes.
What can I do to alleviate the symptoms of tinnitus?
Following an audiological assessment to determine treatable causes, there are number of potential strategies to help diminish
or alleviate the symptoms of tinnitus. An audiologist or ENT surgeon can help direct those steps. Sometimes, utilizing a hearing
aid properly fi tted and adjusted can actually help to reduce the symptoms associated with tinnitus. In addition, many people fi nd
that learning appropriate stress management techniques such as mindfulness-based stress reduction can signifi cantly decrease the
symptoms or make them more manageable so that they have less of an impact on day-to-day life. if you are having diffi culty fi nding
the correct specialist to assess tinnitus, your primary care physician or the physicians at Lakes Urgent Care can provide you with
resources to be properly evaluated and potentially treated for this annoying problem.
