Offering a pathway to renewed vitality and a return to normalcy
At Pulse, we understand the uncertainty and concern that long COVID brings to patients and their families. This treatment embodies our commitment to providing compassionate, innovative care, giving our patients and their families a reason to be hopeful.
In the face of long COVID, a new and challenging aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, patients and their families often find themselves navigating uncharted medical waters. This condition, marked by persistent and diverse symptoms like fatigue and brain fog, has brought unforeseen challenges to many.
Historically, medical breakthroughs have often come from repurposing existing therapies to meet emergent health threats. In this spirit of innovation, Pulse EECP Therapy stands as a ray of hope. By adapting Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP), a therapy with a proven track record treating several medical conditions, we offer a promising avenue for those grappling with the enigmatic and often daunting reality of long COVID.
WHAT IS EECP?
Enhanced External Counterpulsation is an FDA-approved, non-invasive therapy that helps improve blood flow to the heart.
EECP is a breakthrough, non-invasive therapy specifically tailored to address the lingering symptoms of long COVID. Employing strategically placed cuffs around the legs and buttocks, EECP therapy works in harmony with your heart's rhythm. This synchronization enhances blood flow, not just to the heart, but throughout the entire body, providing relief from the pervasive symptoms associated with long COVID.
At Pulse, we understand the complexity of long COVID and its impact on daily life. Traditional treatment paths often lead patients through a maze of specialists, resulting in a mix of various medications and potential side effects. In contrast, our approach with EECP is holistic and patient-centric. It's designed to offer relief from a spectrum of long COVID symptoms, such as fatigue, brain fog, shortness of breath, and chest discomfort, without the need for medication. This therapy aims to improve your quality of life by targeting the root causes of your symptoms in a gentle, yet effective way.
HOW EECP HELPS WITH LONG COVID
At Pulse, our EECP therapy is designed to enhance blood flow and oxygenation and address the underlying inflammation often associated with long COVID. This approach can lead to significant improvements in a range of symptoms:
Reducing Brain Fog: By improving cerebral blood flow, EECP therapy can play a crucial role in alleviating cognitive difficulties such as brain fog. Enhanced circulation helps in delivering essential nutrients and oxygen to the brain, aiding cognitive function and clarity.
Alleviating Fatigue: One of the most profound impacts of EECP is its ability to boost overall blood flow, which is vital in combating the pervasive fatigue commonly experienced in long COVID. Enhanced blood circulation ensures better oxygen and nutrient delivery to body tissues, thereby reducing fatigue and improving energy levels.
Supporting Overall Well-being: Improved circulation, coupled with EECP's potential in reducing systemic inflammation, is beneficial in addressing other long COVID symptoms like breathlessness. By mitigating inflammatory responses in the body, EECP can contribute to a significant improvement in overall well-being and quality of life for long COVID patients.
BENEFITS OF EECP ON LONG COVID PATIENTS
Patients at Pulse have reported significant improvements in their long COVID symptoms, including reduced brain fog and fatigue, following EECP therapy.
-
A study of 1,500 cardiac patients found that EECP treatment reduced fatigue by 36% and breathing difficulties by 50%.
-
A study of 16 long COVID patients using EECP treatment showed significant enhancements in their quality of life. They used the SF-36 questionnaire and noted improvements in all eight domains, spanning physical function, pain management, mental health, and more.
