 Heart disease and ED both have a strong association with poor circulation.  ED has been called the canary in your trousers since the vessels leading to the penis for an erection can be the first vessels to be compromised being a precursor to heart disease.  This program (clinical trial) focuses on improving blood flow for optimal circulation.

After the screening, patients will fill out an assessment tool for poor circulation symptoms.  Patients will also be educated on the parameters of the program.  The parameters of the program are as follows:

• Patient agrees to a 3-month commitment
• Patient agrees to only eating/drinking prescribed food/drink
• Patient agrees to 2 days per week of in office HITT 20-minute workouts
• Patient agrees to 1 chiropractic plus acupressure session per week
