EECP

EECP is a superior treatment for any condition in which poor circulation and impaired arterial function play a role. It’s best studied as a therapy for angina. Studies conducted at leading university medical centers have shown that patients who undergo a course of EECP have fewer and less intense episodes of angina, require less anti-angina medication, can walk farther without experiencing chest pain, and are able to resume work and social activities. Many patients suffering with heart disease come to the Whitaker Wellness Institute for a second opinion after being recommended to have angioplasty or bypass. In many cases, EECP plus the other innovative therapies offered at the clinic, such as hyperbaric oxygen, chelation, nutritional interventions, and lifestyle changes, have allowed them to avoid angioplasty or coronary artery bypass surgery. In far less time—and at far less expense—than it would take to recover from bypass, patients can complete a full course of EECP and begin enjoying an active, pain-free life. Others undergo EECP after having a heart attack or enduring one or even several invasive heart procedures. For some, who’ve been told they are no longer surgical candidates, EECP is their only option. Yet this noninvasive therapy is so safe and effective that it should be considered as a first-line treatment for angina, rather than a last resort after surgery has been ruled out. EECP works synergistically with the other innovative therapies and nutritional supplement protocols your Whitaker Wellness physician will prescribe for you. In addition to avoiding invasive procedures, many of our patients have been able to reduce or eliminate their reliance on prescription drugs after undergoing these treatments.
