EECP therapy unlocks a powerful, non-invasive way to boost circulation, improve heart function, reduce the risk of diabetes and angina, and even encourage the growth of new blood vessels in the heart, all leading to enhanced fitness and overall well-being.
Am I a Good Candidate for EECP therapy?
Enhanced External Counterpulsation is recognized as an effective and remarkably safe treatment for most patients, including the elderly. Individuals in their 90s have benefitted from EECP with few side effects. Like most forms of exercise, clients may experience some tenderness and muscle soreness as they adjust to the therapy.
EECP is not suitable for all patients. There are contraindications for patients with heart blockages, severe peripheral artery disease, current blood clots, certain valve diseases, or who are pregnant, among others.
During the initial consultation, clients will be asked to complete a detailed medical history to help assess any possible risks. When warranted, clients may be asked to seek approval from their doctors.
Most people report remarkable benefits from EECP therapy. A number of clinical studies have found that between 70-85% of study participants who receive a full course of EECP therapy experience reductions in pain classifications or improvements in quality of life.
Benefits Beyond Heart Disease
Due to the increased blood flow EECP Therapy provides, it has also been used to treat a variety of other health problems, including stroke prevention, dementia, the symptoms of long Covid, visual disorders, Parkinson’s, ED, chronic wounds, and arthritis. EECP has also proven helpful for some clients seeking to expand their athletic capability or to recover from intense training and injuries.
