Dysautonomia symptoms

Our care for dysautonomia symptoms

What you need to know about dysautonomia

Every function our body performs, from taking steps to eating, is orchestrated by our nervous system, covering not just conscious actions but also numerous processes beneath our conscious awareness. Key functions like heart rate and blood pressure regulation, breathing, and digestion are all managed by this intricate system.

These operations are overseen by what’s known as the autonomic nervous system, which operates independently of our conscious control. Dysautonomia occurs when there’s a disruption in how this system functions, leading to a wide range of symptoms that affect autonomic processes, such as irregular heart rates or abnormal blood pressure reactions to physical activities.

Such disturbances can cause feelings of weakness, dizziness, or restlessness. You might also experience brief blackouts upon standing or feel your heart fluttering. Dysautonomia encompasses various subtypes, each presenting its own set of symptoms and unique challenges.

How we treat dysautonomia

In dysautonomia, the autonomic nervous system operates erratically, which can stem from improper reception or processing of bodily signals. Additionally, flawed feedback mechanisms may lead to inadequate responses from the nervous system.

Our treatment strategy focuses on synchronizing the involved systems, functions, and brain regions. Recognizing that symptoms may not solely originate from the brain, we also emphasize the significance of addressing peripheral nerve health.

Throughout our treatment week, we employ a range of therapies targeting both the autonomic and peripheral nervous systems, aiming for a comprehensive approach to restoration and balance.

Your road to recovery

One week of intensive treatment

Step 1

The Functional Neurological Examination (FNE)

You share your symptoms with us, prompting us to ask relevant questions and conduct a thorough Neurological Examination. This process allows us to assess whether our treatment is well-suited to your needs.

Step 2

Advanced Machine Testing (quantification)

Based on Step 1, we determine what tests are necessary to quantify the underlying cause of the symptoms. To do this, we use a range of computer-controlled equipment.

Step 3

Rehabilitation week (in 5 days)

We address the problems. Through an individual program specifically tailored to your problems, we bring back function during an intensive week of treatment.

Step 4

Aftercare

After the 5-day intensive treatment week, we will give you homework assignments. These are exercises that further promote your recovery. We are happy to keep an eye on these developments with you.

What does ABC expect from you?

Our treatment for dysautonomic complaints is most effective when done within a short period of time. This means that we offer therapy (rehabilitation) in the form of a full week of a variety of therapies. Within this intensive program we do tests and training to restore the balance between different parts of the nervous system/brain.
Providing treatment within one week is integral to treatment success. Thus, it is not possible to offer them in phases. Therefore, if you want to work permanently on your recovery, we ask that you invest a full week.
