Dysautonomia Treatment Center

What is Dysautonomia?

Dysautonomia is a group of disorders that affect the autonomic nervous system, the part of the brain responsible for unconscious bodily functions like heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, digestion, and temperature regulation. It is estimated to negatively impact at least 70 million people worldwide, yet many remain unfamiliar with the term. 

This condition can cause a wide range of symptoms, including dizziness, fainting, rapid heart rate, difficulty regulating body temperature, and more. Dysautonomia may be categorized into specific conditions such as Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), Orthostatic Intolerance, and Neuro-Cardiogenic Syncope. While there is no single cause of dysautonomia, its impact on critical bodily functions makes specialized care essential. 

The primary goals of dysautonomia treatment include managing symptoms, enhancing daily functionality, and preventing complications. Our Dysautonomia Treatment Center offers tailored functional neurology care plans designed to meet these objectives. 

Dysautonomia has been commonly reported after head injuries, illnesses (such as the “flu” or “mono”), vaccinations, and surgeries. Dysautonomia may also run in the family and have a genetic cause. Often there is no known cause for dysautonomia.

Understanding Dysautonomia Diagnosis and Management 

At The Neurological Wellness Institute, diagnosing dysautonomia involves comprehensive testing, including functional tilt table testing/orthostatic autonomic monitoring and autonomic reflex screenings through constant blood pressure and heart rate monitoring. These evaluations allow us to identify the underlying autonomic dysfunction and develop an effective treatment plan.

An ideal dysautonomia management plan at our center includes:

• Neurological Rehabilitation: Personalized treatments that are progressed to your level of function.
• Lifestyle Modifications: Our specialists recommend brain-based treatments, dietary adjustments, nutritional supplementation, and structured physical exercise to support those with conditions like dysautonomia POTS or orthostatic hypotension.
• Monitoring and Adjustments: Regular assessments and treatments ensure your management plan remains effective and adaptable.

Exercise and Dietary Changes for Dysautonomia Management 

Although low-intensity exercise is generally recommended for dysautonomia, many of our patients are not healthy enough to begin these exercises. Through an extensive evaluation, our specialists perform specific sensorimotor brain based therapies to allow our patients to begin to exercise safely.

Once able to safely exercise, general recommendations are low-intensity activities such as swimming, cycling, or recumbent workouts to improve blood flow and cardiovascular health without overexertion.

Common dietary recommendations focus on strategies like increasing fluid and salt intake under medical supervision to stabilize blood pressure. Nutrient-rich meal plans with whole grains, lean proteins, and vegetables support overall health and energy levels.  

We have found many of our patients with dysautonomia may also have immune dysfunctions as well. This may be accompanied by abnormal immune reactions to foods in which case specific testing, diets, and/or nutritional supplements may be recommended.

Our specialists use insights from organizations like Dysautonomia International to develop tailored programs that align with the latest research in managing autonomic disorders.
