Ways to Accelerate Surgery Recovery

Undergoing surgery is a significant event for the body, and the recovery process can be challenging. However, several methods can accelerate recovery, reduce discomfort and help you return to your normal routine faster.

Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (mHbOT) involves breathing 90-95% pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This therapy increases the amount of oxygen your blood can carry, which promotes faster healing and reduces inflammation.

Benefits:

• Enhanced Healing: Higher oxygen levels accelerate tissue repair and wound healing
  ‍
• Reduced Swelling: mHbOT can decrease inflammation, leading to less postoperative swelling
  ‍
• Pain Management: The therapy can help manage pain by reducing pressure in the tissues and enhancing circulation
  
  

What to Expect

During a session, you'll relax in a comfortable chamber while breathing 90-95% pure oxygen. Sessions typically last 60-90 minutes and can be repeated multiple times per week, depending on your doctor's recommendation.

Whole Body Cryotherapy

Whole Body Cryotherapy is a safe therapy that involves entering a chamber to expose your body to sub-zero temperatures for two to three minutes. This process helps reduce inflammation, pain and muscle soreness, making it an excellent option for post-surgery recovery.

Benefits:

• Inflammation Reduction: The cold temperatures constrict blood vessels, reducing inflammation and swelling
  ‍
• Pain Relief: Cold exposure can help numb nerve endings for temporary pain relief
  ‍
• Improved Circulation: After exiting the Cryotherapy chamber, your body works to rewarm itself, boosting blood flow and promoting healing
  
  

What to Expect

Arrive to your Restore Hyper Wellness appointment early to change into protective gear in a private room. We will provide a robe and/or a shower wrap, slippers, mittens and a hat. Prior to your Cryotherapy session, you can pick a song to listen to while you’re in the chamber. After your appointment, you may experience an immediate boost in energy.

Red Light Therapy

Red Light Therapy uses low-level wavelengths of red or near-infrared light to stimulate cellular repair and regeneration. This non-invasive therapy can be particularly beneficial for post-surgical healing.

Benefits:

• Accelerated Healing: Penetrating deep into the skin, Red Light Therapy promotes tissue repair and reduces healing time
  ‍
• Reduced Scarring: This therapy can help minimize scar formation by promoting collagen production
  ‍
• Pain Reduction: Red Light Therapy can help reduce inflammation and pain in the affected area
  
  

What to Expect

During a Red Light Therapy session, you'll enter a private room, remove as much clothing as you’re comfortable with and stand between two powerful panels that emit red and near-infrared light. Sessions typically last 10-15 minutes, and the best results can be seen and felt with weekly sessions.

Healthy Lifestyle Habits

In addition to these advanced therapies, maintaining healthy lifestyle habits is crucial for a speedy recovery. Proper hydration, nutrition and sleep play a significant role in healing and overall well-being.

Hydration

Staying well-hydrated helps flush out toxins, reduce swelling and support tissues. Aim to drink at least 8-10 glasses of water a day or more if recommended by your healthcare professional.

Nutrition

A balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals and protein supports the healing process. Include a variety of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and whole grains in your meals. Foods high in Vitamin C, Zinc and omega-3 fatty acids are particularly beneficial for tissue repair and reducing inflammation.

Sleep

Quality sleep is essential for recovery because it allows your body to repair and regenerate. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night, and create a restful environment to enhance your sleep quality. Avoid caffeine and electronics before bedtime to improve your sleep cycle.
