Dysautonomia is an umbrella term used to describe several different medical conditions that cause a dysfunction of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS).

Dr. Saperstein has over 25 years of experience. His expertise in diagnosing and managing patients with Dysautonomia is what helped him win the Dysautonomia Internationalโ€™s 2024 Physician of Year award. At the Center, we will help you deal with a potentially debilitating condition with care and compassion.

๐Ÿšจ Chronic Pain Check-In! ๐Ÿšจ

Chronic pain is a constant battle for many dealing with neurological disorders. ๐Ÿ’ญ

Howโ€™s everyone feeling on the pain scale today? ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ’ฅ

๐Ÿ’ง Reminder: Stay hydrated! Dehydration pulls fluid out of your tissues, which can cause body aches and pains. One way to reduce pain is to increase your daily intake of water. ๐Ÿ’ฆ

๐Ÿ”ฌ Cranial Cervical Instability (CCI) is a medical condition that occurs when the ligaments and connective tissues that support the head and neck become weakened or damaged. This can lead to excessive movement between the skull and the upper cervical spine, causing a variety of symptoms such as chronic headaches, neck pain, vertigo, and even cognitive impairment. ๐Ÿง 

๐Ÿ”— CCI is often seen in individuals with conditions such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome but can also be caused by trauma or degenerative changes in the spine. Treatment for CCI may include physical therapy, medication, or in severe cases, surgery.

๐Ÿ’ก Did You Know?! It is estimated that 85% of POTS patients are women.

POTS isnโ€™t rare, itโ€™s just rarely recognized. This disorder of the autonomic nervous system affects functions like heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and sweating. Symptoms can include dizziness, fatigue, nausea, fainting, headaches, and more.

Despite growing awareness, many patients are still dismissed as โ€œjust anxious.โ€ ๐Ÿ’”

At the Center we help patients navigate these complex conditions. ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿ”Ž Dysautonomia patients often suffer from โ€˜Coat Hangerโ€™ Pain.

๐Ÿ”น This pain is characterized by suboccipital and paracervical pain in the neck and upper back.
๐Ÿ”น This appears to be mainly a problem in patients who have difficulty maintaining their blood pressure when standing or upright.
๐Ÿ”น It is believed to be caused by poor blood flow to the upper neck and back.

Dysautonomias all involve the autonomic nervous system (ANS). When the ANS is not working properly, the blood flow pattern may be disrupted leading to pain.

โœจ Letโ€™s talk about a condition that often gets overlooked, Gastroparesis, aka delayed stomach emptying.

Itโ€™s a digestive motility disorder where the stomach muscles donโ€™t move food like they should, causing food to sit in the stomach too long.

๐Ÿ’ฅ Common symptoms:
๐Ÿ”น Nausea or vomiting
๐Ÿ”น Stomach pain & bloating
๐Ÿ”น Early fullness (after a few bites)
๐Ÿ”น Still feeling full hours after eating
๐Ÿ”น Belching or unintentional weight loss

Gastroparesis can be mild or severe, and it affects people of all body sizes. Itโ€™s also more common in those with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) or Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (HSD).

๐Ÿงƒ Treatment may include: dietary changes, medications, and other medical support.

๐Ÿ‘€ Heard of gastroparesis before?

๐Ÿฉบ What is Hyperadrenergic POTS by Dr. David Sapersteinโœจ

๐Ÿ”ฌ Hyperadrenergic POTS is defined by heightened plasma norepinephrine levels (the sympathetic nervous system neurotransmitter) exceeding 600 pg/mL, accompanied by a systolic blood pressure elevation of more than 10 mmHg after standing for 10 minutes. This condition signifies an excessive activation of the sympathetic nervous system.

โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน POTS patients are often misdiagnosed as having anxiety or panic disorder but their symptoms are real and can severely limit a person's ability to function.

๐Ÿง  Chiari Malformation Lesser-Known Fact:
People with Chiari Malformation can be misdiagnosed for years, often as having migraines, anxiety, fibromyalgia, or even psychiatric disorders before getting the correct diagnosis.

๐Ÿ’ญ โ€œItโ€™s all in your head.โ€
Turns outโ€ฆ it actually is.

๐Ÿ”ฌ Chiari Malformation is a serious neurological condition where brain tissue pushes into the spinal canal. Because symptoms overlap with so many other conditions, itโ€™s often overlooked leading to delayed care and years of suffering.

How many of these symptoms did you check off? ๐Ÿ‘€

For many people living with POTS, dysautonomia, EDS, MCAS, Long COVID, and related conditions, symptoms like dizziness, brain fog, fatigue, headaches, GI issues, and heat intolerance are often dismissed, misunderstood, or treated as separate problems.

But sometimes those symptoms are part of a larger picture.

If you've been searching for answers, you're not alone. ๐Ÿ’™

The Center is currently accepting new patient inquiries, with appointments available with Kelli Gill, DNP, FNP-C. She is licensed in Arizona and New Mexico.

โœ… POTS & Dysautonomia
โœ… EDS & HSD
โœ… MCAS
โœ… Long COVID

As with all new patients, scheduling requires completion of the screening process and intake paperwork. Appointments are offered based on clinical review and provider availability.

โœจ What is CCI by Dr. David Sapersteinโœจ
โฃ
Have you heard of Cranial Cervical Instability (CCI)? ๐Ÿค•

When the ligaments that hold your head and neck in place become weak or damaged, the skull can shift excessively, leading to:
๐Ÿ’ฅ Chronic headaches
๐Ÿ’ฅ Neck pain + stiffness
๐Ÿ’ฅ Vertigo + dizziness
๐Ÿ’ฅ Brain fog + fatigue
โฃ๐Ÿ’ฅ + More

CCI is often linked to Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, trauma, or spinal degeneration but it can affect anyone.
