Understanding the autonomic nervous system root of POTS and dysautonomia. How nervous system focused chiropractic care supports regulation
If you've been diagnosed with POTS or dysautonomia, you probably had to fight just to get that diagnosis. And even after getting answers, the solutions offered often feel incomplete, medications that help some symptoms but not others, being told to drink more water and add salt.
A quick look at what is inside your guide.
Orthostatic Tachycardia
The hallmark of POTS, heart rate that rises inappropriately when you stand up, reflects the sympathetic system's inability to regulate cardiovascular response to orthostatic challenge in the absence of sufficient parasympathetic counterbalance.
Dizziness and Near-Syncope
Dizziness when standing or with activity reflects inadequate cerebral blood flow regulation, a function of the autonomic nervous system's control of vascular tone that the brainstem coordinates.
Persistent Fatigue and Post-Exertional Worsening
The fatigue of dysautonomia reflects a nervous system chronically running the stress response without adequate recovery. Activity triggers more sympathetic activation without sufficient parasympathetic recovery capacity.
Brain Fog
Cognitive impairment in POTS often reflects both reduced cerebral blood flow (from orthostatic hypoperfusion) and the cognitive load of a nervous system continuously managing an unsustainable autonomic imbalance.
Temperature Dysregulation
The autonomic nervous system governs thermoregulation through sweat response and vascular tone. When it's dysregulated, temperature control becomes erratic, producing the heat intolerance, cold hands/feet, and temperature swings common in dysautonomia.
"We work with the nervous system's ability to regulate cardiovascular and autonomic function through cervical and thoracic spine alignment. We do not claim to make POTS or dysautonomia disappear, but many patients notice improvement in dysautonomia symptoms with nervous system focused care as the autonomic system finds better balance over time."
Here's what's happening at the root level: your autonomic nervous system, the part that controls your heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, temperature regulation, and sleep, is out of balance. The sympathetic side, your fight-or-flight system, is running too high. And the parasympathetic side, the brake pedal, can't keep up. That's why standing up sends your heart rate through the roof. That's why fatigue, brain fog, and dizziness are your constant companions.
