Local resident embraces Hyperbarics of Sun Valley oxygen therapy to help treat Parkinson’s Disease – KMVT

HAILEY, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) - Hyperbarics of Sun Valley opened in 2012 and the treatment facility is growing in popularity to help a number of conditions.

The very first time I came in it gave me some mental clarity where I havent had brain fog issues since I came in, so thats been huge. With the Parkinsons I shake on my right side and my shoulder predominantly stiff and pitched forward. Its released the inflammation in my shoulder where I have almost natural range of motion, said Dan Gearhart, a local resident.

Hyperbaric oxygen helps dissolve oxygen into the body so we can super oxygenate the tissue which helps shut down the inflammatory process, one treatment can double your stem cell production and boost your immune system at the same time. So those processes will help with just about any condition out there, said Phil Rainey, owner of Hyperbarics of Sun Valley.

Hyperberics of Sun Valley is currently seeking non-profit status so it can help more people. A service there costs $200 where in the hospital it can be $2000.

You either go in there by yourself or with some other people and you watch a movie in there or take your cell phone. I do work. Its very relaxing. You can sleep. You can put a pillow in there. Like I said, a lot of people wouldnt realize the benefit of it, said Gearhart.

Gearhart started a blog to describe his struggle with Parkinsons and the results he has seen from hyperbaric treatment.
