EECP Therapy for Poor Circulation

EECP has been an FDA approved treatment since 1995. It is used as a treatment for angina and as a heart failure treatment, it’s shown to help detoxification, brain blood flow, circulation, and tissue oxygenation. Using blood pressure cuffs and a special table, a patient typically undergoes a series of one-hour treatments designed to increase oxygen and blood flow to the liver, brain, heart, and organs. It increases cardiac output and this oxygenates all of the cells of the body to then work better.

As Dr. Debra Braverman, MD describes in her book, “Heal Your Heart with EECP”: As a systemic treatment that maximizes oxygen- and nutrient-rich blood flow throughout the body, EECP’s benefits are seemingly limitless. As we have seen, lack of blood flow is the major cause or a major contributing factor in numerous diseases responsible for tremendous suffering, disability, death, and expense.

EECP will create a considerable shift in current treatments for some of these diseases and will provide a treatment where once was there was none for others. Along with many other devastating circulatory disorders, EECP can and will successfully treat: heart disease, stroke, peripheral vascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease, Parkinson’s disease, dementia and memory loss (including Alzheimer’s disease), neuropathy, erectile dysfunction, hearing loss and tinnitus, vision impairment, autoimmune disease (including Raynaud’s phenomenon), mesenteric ischemia, avascular necrosis, vertigo, rheumatic disease, restless leg syndrome.

During EECP, blood pressure cuffs around the legs squeeze and release in sync with your heartbeat, promoting blood flow throughout your body and particularly to your heart, liver, and brain.

EECP is safe. Typically patients feel energized after the treatment. Patients say it feels like a deep massage to the legs. Most patients relax during the treatment, listen to music, read, or even fall asleep.
