Cardiovascular Disorders, Brampton

Cardiovascular Disorders, Brampton Acupuncture

Cardiovascular disorders encompass a range of conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels. These disorders can be congenital—meaning present from birth, such as patent ductus arteriosus, ventricular septal defect, or coarctation of the aorta—or acquired later in life, including various cardiomyopathies and other heart-related issues.

Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of death, accounting for approximately one in every four deaths in North America. Understanding the different types of cardiovascular conditions, their symptoms, and when to seek medical care is essential for maintaining heart health.

Common symptoms and conditions include high blood pressure, edema, chest pain, angina, and poor circulation. Many of our patients at the Brampton Naturopath Osteopath Clinic turn to acupuncture as a natural, complementary therapy to support cardiovascular health and improve overall well-being.

If you’re looking for a holistic approach to managing cardiovascular disorders, our team is here to help you on your journey toward better heart health.

Acupuncture for Angina

Angina

Angina is a condition characterized by chest pain resulting from an insufficient supply of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. This pain can range from mild to severe and often lasts longer than 15 minutes. In most cases, angina is caused by coronary artery disease, a condition where the arteries supplying blood to the heart become narrowed and hardened, restricting blood flow.

Acupuncture for Edema

Edema

Edema is a condition where excess fluid leaks from the capillaries and collects in the surrounding tissues. It can be either localized, affecting a specific area, or generalized, impacting larger parts of the body—both of which can significantly affect your daily life. Often, edema is linked to underlying health issues such as liver disease, congestive heart failure, or kidney disease.

Chest Pain Treatment

Chest Pain Treatment

Chest pain is a symptom that can affect people of all ages, though it is particularly common among those with heart disease. It often presents as a sharp, stabbing sensation in the center of the chest or a heavy, pressing discomfort that can make breathing difficult. Additional symptoms may include nausea, sweating, and dizziness. Because chest pain can signal a serious condition like a heart attack, it should never be ignored or left untreated for long. Prompt medical attention is crucial.
