Struggling With Parkinson's? EECP Therapy Can Help.
Better Blood Flow for a Better Life.
Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder of the central nervous system that affects movement. It often causes tremors and affects dopamine-producing neurons in a specific area of the brain. EECP therapy may help protect these neurons from further damage and slow the disease’s progression by increasing the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the brain.
A 2020 study, published in the Chinese Journal of Geriatrics and reprinted by PubMed, found that “among the 33 patients with Parkinson’s disease who received EECP treatment, 87.9% had symptomatic improvement as well as a reduction in Webster scores, probably due to increased cerebral blood flow, which in turn improved various neurotransmitters and receptor function in … neurons and brain stem.”

After being treated for Parkinson’s, a Thrive EECP client said, “it’s like a heavy sack of bricks has been lifted off my shoulders. I’d come every day if I could.” See his story below; with a before video, followed by a video taken after three weeks of EECP therapy.
How EECP Changed My Life!
My Parkinson’s Journey and EECP Therapy
I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2018, and my life changed drastically. My body wouldn’t obey my commands. I struggled to walk, stand upright, and I was falling multiple times a week. The worst fall left me with a broken rib.
Things began to turn around when I started Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) therapy. After just 20 treatments, the changes were incredible. My dyskinesia (uncontrolled movements) has lessened significantly, and the mental fog I was living with has lifted. I’ve regained some control over my movements, which is a tremendous relief.
Not only has my walking improved, but I have an overwhelming sense of well-being after each treatment. This has been a huge help with the anxiety and depression that often accompany chronic illnesses. I’m even back to work!
Additionally, I’ve been able to reduce my reliance on Carbidopa-Levodopa, the medication that controls my movement.
