- Arthritis
- FibromyalgiaToday we recognize the fact that allergic reactions (intolerance or sensitivities) to foods, inhalants and chemicals may be directly related to many systemic illnesses (i.e., arthritis, sinusitis, dermatitis, asthma, migraine, colitis, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, etc). When understood within the context of environmental medicine, many complex health problems can be successfully resolved through careful management of the environment and effective allergy immunotherapy.

More frequently, patients come to the Westport facility for treatment of more common problems such as seasonal allergies, asthma, sinusitis, and dermatitis.
- AllergiesDr. Caprio soon recognized the importance of allergy treatment as an effective adjunct to the management of the majority of chronic degenerative diseases seen in medical practice today. Subsequently, he was among the first to pioneer the Interro System of computerized testing developed in Provo, Utah and the science of ‘phenolic food compounds’ researched by Dr. Robert Gardiner at Brigham Young University. Dr. Caprio successfully integrated these modalities and developed a uniquely effective system of non-invasive allergy testing and sublingual immunotherapy (“modified Rinkel technique”)which he currently uses. This system of computerized non-invasive electrodermal testing and optimal dose sub-lingual immunotherapy allows for the safe, rapid desensitization of acute allergy symptoms, as well as, the effective long term management of chronic allergic problems.
