Pain Sucks Episode 029 – Ice or Heat? Or Both?
The Pain Sucks Podcast
Age old question when it comes to pain. Dr. Justin and I break it down to the most simplistic form for you to know which and when. Ice better on acute (just happened) injuries and best for joints Heat better on muscles (moist heat is better so add a moist towel if you have a dry heating pad) Heat before activity and ice after. Sometimes going back and forth is the answer. And sometimes nothing is best But it’s not one size fits all and everyone is different However, the answers are in this episode.

Pain Sucks Episode 024 - 1 Tablespoon of SCT Oil is my secret to handling inflammation from a herniated disc
The Pain Sucks Podcast
Oh my goodness This is a lifesaver for inflammation and disc herniation pain and other pains. You have been asking me for some super simple practical things to do. Here is one of my favorites Inflammation is the enemy. Not the disc. I’ll keep preaching that over and over until you get that. Lol Handling inflammation can happen in a variety of ways. One of the ways is getting your body to use fat for energy. Known as ketosis (a video on another day) the body is in a place to make massive amounts of energy by using the fat molecules of food and creating ketones that help heal inflammation....

info_outlineDr. Lou started his career as a chiropractor and was very successful at it. It was on a trip to a seminar in Colorado that he realized that after a strenuous exercise workout he was really struggling for oxygen. It was in this moment he realized that there had to be something that increased the amount of oxygen his body could take in and utilize.
This led him to discover a newly emerging technology called Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. And now he runs one of the larges Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy clinics in the nation in Atlanta, Georgia.
So, in his clinic he focuses on the following:
- Nerve Supply (handled through proper chiropractic)
- Oxygen (Hyperbaric Therapy)
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy works because of two laws of nature
- Boyle’s Law
- Henry’s Law
- Both essentially say that gas (oxygen in this case) under pressure has to dissolve into a fluid
- The human body being 70% fluid then can under pressure absorb massive amounts of oxygen.
- Oxygen kills inflammation on contact as well as increases healing of damaged tissues and cells.
- Oxygen promotes apoptosis (a programmed death of a cell)
Under pressure the Oxygen gets pushed into all fluids of the body not just through the lungs
Normal respiration the body takes in about 7% oxygen because a normal breath has about 21% oxygen and the rest mostly nitrogen.
Hyperbaric can actually take the 7% to 96%
Dr. Lou reminded us that the science is new so there are no real “treatment plans” however the body needs time to learn to handle the new levels of oxygen so multiple times per week for a few weeks is a great starting point.
Also, treatments can last from 1 hour to several hours.
Multiple chambers exist. 1.3ATA is referred to as Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen. Where 1.5 and above is called Hyperbaric and these chambers are found mostly in hospital setting for drastic and serious conditions.
As of today, the FDA has only approved about 13 conditions for Hyperbaric Therapy and for Mild Hyperbaric Therapy only acute hypoxia or “altitude sickness”. However, people from all walks of life and backgrounds have found massive healing using Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy so it’s worth a try!
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy actually has its roots back in the 1820’s with mountain climbers learning they could train their body’s under pressure to hold more oxygen as they ascended the mountains.
This technology is so amazing that it is now being studied for autism, brain damage and stroke, cancer, viral and bacterial diseases, auto-immune function, athletic performance etc..
For those with pain it works because most pain has inflammation as it’s driving force and the hyperbaric level of oxygen kills the inflammation.
Dr. Lou has offered discounts on chambers to all listeners as well as $200 off all chambers for all doctors interested in putting the tech in their clinics.
Patients do require a doctor prescription to buy a hyperbaric unit with an oxygen condenser. Talk to your doctor or chiropractor if you are interested.
Dr. Lou also offers discounts to our vets and first responders!
For local treatment in your area he recommends googleing “hyperbaric oxygen therapy near me” as there is not a database of providers yet.
