Hyperbaric chambers are specially designed for comfort and safety. They offer a comfortable way to either sit or rest during the treatment. Windows allow the patient to see out of the chamber. As a safety measure, the chamber can be depressurized and opened from the inside with carefully placed push valves. The patient knows that he or she always has total control. REGENCARE.LIFE 27

REGENCare PATIENT PROFILE Patient Vincent Collins Injury I've always played sports such as basketball, tennis, and golf. One day, I was playing golf in the drizzling rain and I happened to slip on a wet log and tore my ACL. I was in excruciating pain. We always think we are some kind of Superman, I know I did. I always believed that I would bounce back and heal myself. I was in pain for two years thinking my injury would heal on its own, not knowing that I was destroying my knee day by day. Thereafter, I learned that I had lost the cartilage in my knee, and it was bone on bone and I could barely walk on it. As far as I knew, my only option was knee replacement surgery. Then, I met Dr. Rick and I decided to give REGENCare Treatments a try. Treatment “Dr. Rick injected me with REGENCare Treatments which is a quick easy process, no surgery, no stress, it's like getting a flu shot!” Outcome I started feeling better right away, my pain was less and less like this treatment was really working. I was back to playing golf again and a year and one half later, I decided to get x-rays to monitor my healing process and when they showed me my Before & After X-rays, they proved that I had regrown the cartilage in my knee that I thought I had lost forever! “I was so excited, I felt like I was born again, and I have a new ME now!” “REGENCare BEFORE REGENCARE 1 YEAR AFTER Treatments are a miracle to TREATMENTS me and fifteen months later, REGENCARE.LIFE 35 I am doing all the things I love and playing sports again—pain free!”
