Surgical Prep and Recovery in Edina, MN: Start Before the Operation

Aervita is located in Edina, MN and treats patients from across the Minneapolis and St. Paul metro and western Wisconsin.

Yes, if we have not seen you here already. The $84 Initial Health Assessment is required before the protocol starts. It is a 40 minute visit with our doctor of chiropractic, and it is also where we build your schedule backward from your surgery date.

Because you are healing with the body you show up with, and surgical stress is easier to absorb when you walk in prepared. The prep half is the part almost nobody offers, and it is the reason to call us before your procedure rather than three weeks after it.

Cosmetic pairs hyperbaric oxygen with red light, because skin, collagen and elastin sit at the depth red light works. Orthopedic pairs it with PEMF applied over the operative area. We settle it at your assessment.

Two weeks. Seven one-hour hyperbaric sessions, three in the week before your procedure and four after, plus three sessions of red light or PEMF once you are cleared.

The full protocol is $897, the same price on either track. Booked session by session it runs $1,387, so bundling saves $490, more than 30%. Pay in full, monthly plan, or third party financing.

When your surgeon clears you, and not before. We schedule the recovery half around their guidance, and we will happily talk to their office.

We recommend a session package rather than running the whole protocol again. Your reassessment is where we make that call honestly rather than automatically.

We want them in the loop, and we will not schedule post-operative sessions without their clearance. Your surgeon directs your surgical care; this protocol supplements it.

Coverage varies by provider and plan. Our team can walk you through the options at your assessment.

It happens constantly. Tell us and we rebuild the schedule. Nothing is lost.

A short, standardized course of our health technology. Same sequence for every patient, no session-by-session personalization, which is what lets it be scheduled tightly and priced as a bundle.

It is well tolerated by most people, and the initial health assessment screens for the situations where it is not appropriate. We also keep your surgeon in the loop, and we will not schedule your post surgical sessions until they have cleared you. Ear pressure during descent is the most common complaint, and we coach you through clearing it before your first session.

Two to three weeks out is ideal, because the assessment and your three prep sessions all need to land in the week before your surgical date. If your operation is sooner than that, call us anyway. The schedule is tight but it is usually workable.

Yes. Each surgical protocol is booked around one procedure date, so a second operation gets its own two week course. Patients who have been through it once usually book the next one as soon as the surgical date is on the calendar, which makes the schedule easier to build.

If the two procedures are close together, we map both out at the assessment so the surgical prep windows do not collide. And if you are still working through recovery from the first when the second arrives, we adjust the plan rather than stacking sessions.
