Vermont Pain Relief Physical Therapy & Massage has expanded its East Burke health and recovery center, now offering Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)—one of the most advanced healing tools available today. This marks a major addition to health and wellness options in the NEK.

Open House & HBOT Info Night
To introduce the community to the new services, Vermont Pain Relief will host a Community Open House and HBOT Information Event on Thursday November 6 from 3pm to 7pm at 83 Kirby Road, East Burke. Attendees can:
-Tour the facility and HBOT chamber
-Try red light therapy and recovery tools including sauna & cold plunge (bring your own towel!)
-Meet Dr. Duniho and the wellness team
-Learn who HBOT can help and how to get started

Vermont Pain Relief Physical Therapy and Massage's recent expansion includes:

-Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy treatment, in affiliation with Hyperbaric Vermont
-An expanded physical therapy and performance training gym
-An outdoor recovery lounge featuring sauna & cold plunge overlooking a mountain brook
-Red light therapy
-Membership-based wellness access

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a medical technology that increases oxygen supply to tissues in the body, accelerating repair, reducing inflammation, and stimulating the body's natural healing process. HBOT requires a prescription, which Vermont Pain Relief helps patients obtain through partnering medical providers.

Research supports the use of HBOT for:
Concussion, depression and traumatic brain injury recovery
Long COVID, chronic fatigue, and brain fog
Lyme disease and chronic inflammation
Sports injuries and post-surgical recovery
Peripheral neuropathy and nerve injuries
Soft tissue injuries and non-healing wounds
Stroke recovery support
Arthritis and chronic pain conditions

"Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a game-changer," says clinic owner Dr. Kevin Duniho, DPT. "For years, patients had to travel hours away to access this level of healing technology."
