Chiropractic & Functional Neurology Support for Dysautonomia & POTS

The autonomic nervous system controls many of the body’s automatic functions—things you don’t have to consciously think about every day. This includes regulating heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, digestion, body temperature, sweating, and even how your body responds when you stand up.

Dysautonomia is a term used to describe conditions where the autonomic nervous system isn’t functioning as it should.

One of the most recognized forms of dysautonomia is Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). People with POTS often experience a significant increase in heart rate when moving from sitting or lying down to standing, along with a variety of other symptoms.

Because the autonomic nervous system influences so many parts of the body, symptoms can look very different from one person to another.

Symptoms of dysautonomia and POTS may include:

Some people experience only a few symptoms, while others find that dysautonomia affects many aspects of daily life.

If you’re living with dysautonomia or POTS, you’ve probably experienced days when you feel almost like yourself—and others when even simple activities feel overwhelming. This unpredictability can make it difficult to work, attend school, exercise, or enjoy everyday life.

One of the reasons dysautonomia can be so frustrating is that it affects the autonomic nervous system, which helps regulate many of the body’s automatic functions. When that system isn’t functioning efficiently, symptoms can involve multiple body systems and may change depending on factors like activity level, hydration, sleep, stress, illness, or even changes in temperature.

Many people also live with other conditions, such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), migraines, concussion, chronic pain, or vestibular disorders, which can further influence how they feel from one day to the next.
