Allan M. Spiegel M.D. - RSD Therapy

When the body works correctly, food is digested to make glucose, the energy source for the body's cells. The body responds to the increase in blood glucose by causing the pancreas to produce insulin. This insulin helps transport the glucose energy into the cells where it can be used. It is a delicate balance—too little insulin and the blood sugar rises, too much insulin and the person can go into coma.

Currently 60 percent of the adult American population is overweight. The increase in obesity is attributed to dietary patterns and increasingly sedentary lifestyles. As the number of overweight individuals increases, diabetes is becoming epidemic.

Diabetes has tremendous negative health impacts, including damage to the circulatory system and various organs. Numbness, tingling, and pain in the feet and legs frequently get better with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is the "gold standard" for the treatment of diabetic wounds, and contributes to a comprehensive wound care program—often saving limbs.

Over the past 10 years, Allan M. Spiegel, M.D., has successfully treated many patients suffering diabetic neuropathy and non-healing wounds. To schedule a hyperbaric oxygen therapy consultation  to discuss how this treatment can help you, give our office a call.
