POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) = your autonomic nervous system malfunctioning and is controlled by your brainstem and upper cervical spine. 💚
You stand up, heart races, dizziness hits, you might pass out. Your heart rate jumps 30+ beats just from standing.
This isn't anxiety, but autonomic nervous system dysfunction.
What you're living with: Dizziness when upright, rapid heartbeat, extreme fatigue, brain fog, exercise intolerance, nausea, temperature dysregulation, feeling like your body is constantly betraying you.
Did you know that your autonomic nervous system is controlled by your brainstem and upper cervical spine (C1-C2)?
When upper neck has tension or imbalance, it affects brainstem function, vagus nerve communication, blood flow to brain, autonomic regulation.
How upper cervical chiropractic helps POTS:
Upper cervical adjustments support brainstem function and vagus nerve. Improved blood flow to brain reduces dizziness/brain fog, nervous system regulation improves over time, and reduced spinal stress = less burden on already-struggling autonomic system.
Research shows: Some POTS patients experience reduced dizzy spells, improved exercise tolerance, better cognitive function, decreased heart rate fluctuations, improved quality of life with upper cervical care.
When we support that foundation, some patients find their body can regulate better.
You deserve support that addresses the nervous system foundation - not just symptom management. 💚
