Dr. John Marx specializes in treating vein problems (Phlebology).He is a member of the Australasian College of Phlebology and has more than 12 years, experience in Sclerotherapy, Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy, Compression Therapy, and Laser Therapy of facial spider veins.
In addition, John has more than 20 years, clinical practice in sports medicine, and is a member of the Australian College of Sports Physicians.During this period he has worked with many national and international teams and athletes, including the St. Kilda Football Club, in the Australian Football League.
He is strongly committed to Compression Therapy - its role in treating vein problems and also improving sports performance.John delivered the first ever research paper on "Sports Pressure Syndrome" to the Australian Sports Medicine Conference just before the Sydney Olympics in August 2000.
For the last 6 years he has been conducting research on air pressure - in particular its role in the so called Economy Class Syndrome (Deep Vein Thrombosis).He has had several meetings and presented to Members of Parliament on the significance of this problem.
His interest in plane cabin pressures was first triggered over 10 years ago on a family holiday flight to Fiji , when his wife was forced to wear a plaster cast for a ruptured Achilles tendon.During the ascent he witnessed the pain and distress of decompression induced tissue swelling.The speed and severity of this problem left a lasting impression that demanded further investigation.
He has now presented two papers on venous function in hypobaric environments to the Australasian College of Phlebology.The first study at Mt. Kosciuszko was presented in 2002.The second study, on a Sydney to Melbourne flight was presented in May, 2004.He is currently planning a third study that will be performed in a hypobaric chamber late in 2004.
Decompression Syndrome is the title of his talk at this aviation medicine conference.
