Amazing experience...it help me to see better and even hear better. Just a sense of well being over all. It also helped my blood pressure go down which was the main reason I went in. I highly recommend Avenue Wellness center to many people solely because of my personal experience.

The staff and facilities at The Avenu Wellness Center are wonderful. I received hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatments following surgery for a ruptured achilles tendon and was treated with care and professionalism. Immobile lower extremities do not have the best circulation - which is not conducive to wound healing. I wanted to get ahead of any possibility of infection and expedite healing and I attribute my HBOT therapies as the reason my incision healed so well and so quickly. There are so many benefits to HBOT and I'm so glad I received care here following my surgery. Highly recommend.

I wanted to send you a follow-up note on how pleased I am with the results of my treatments at the Avenu Wellness Center.

For the last 3-4 years my neuropathy was so bad I could hardly walk or stand without significant pain.  After the HBOT and PEMF therapy, the pain and tingling are mostly gone and the numbness is significantly reduced and improving.

Just as important to me was the incredible staff at The Avenu. Everyone was professional, knowledgeable, caring and went above and beyond to achieve my results.

Also I’ve been off my neuropathy pain medication since January and no longer need it.  My blood pressure has also been significantly reduced. I’ll be checking in with my family doctor to see about weaning off that medication as well.

I would encourage anyone suffering from peripheral neuropathy to check out the treatment options at The Avenu.

A highly satisfied Client.

It has now been over two months since my last Pemf and Hyperberic Chamber treatment and I wanted to let you know that my knee is feeling great.  We had a great ski trip in early March and I have been back to playing tennis at 100% level and I don’t feel any pain or discomfort in my knee.  Thanks again for the awesome care you provided.  Courtney was fantastic during my nearly daily visits and the small little things she did (warm blanket for the Pemf to a great coffee for my ride home) really made the visits great and left me with a huge positive feeling about how you care for your patients.

I'm planning on a trip to France and I want to be healthier. I have been able to do a lot of stuff since being in the (hyperbaric) chamber, and I just wanted to share that got so much more stamina. I was in Indianapolis for five days, constantly moving and I had a heavy backpack on walking, stairs- and I never really got exhausted like you think you would. So that was so wonderful. I think my heart's working better. That's why I went, because my ejection fraction is kind of low and I wanted to get that stronger. I also did a 5k walk/run and I did it in forty-eight minutes. As a seventy-year-old, I thought that was pretty good. I kind of did okay last year, but in January I had a set back and I think for sure The Avenu really helped me. I could hardly even lift the covers off my bed in the morning, and I started doing going to the Avenu and I got better. It wasn't right away, of course, and my breathing wasn't perfect, but the more I went … I can go all day working hard and don't feel the effects. I'm not breathing hard or anything. So, I think it's awesome. Plus, the ladies there were so loving and caring. That was what always made me excited to go every morning. They were accommodating with the times that I wanted and needed to be there, and so that was important too, the rides and things, because I am legally blind. They were always open whenever I needed them.
