Autonomic Nervous System Testing & Treatment in Edina, MN

Your heart races when you stand up. You’re exhausted no matter how much you sleep. Brain fog, lightheadedness, and fatigue have taken over your life. You’ve been told your tests are normal, or that it’s anxiety, or that you just need to exercise more. POTS and dysautonomia are real neurological conditions — and they require objective autonomic testing to diagnose properly.

— OBJECTIVE EVALUATION

What We Test & Measure

Before recommending any treatment, we conduct a comprehensive objective evaluation specific to pots / dysautonomia. Every test is chosen because it measures something relevant to your symptoms.

  • Heart rate and blood pressure response (tilt-table): what happens when you move from lying to standing
  • Full autonomic function: how each part of your autonomic nervous system is regulating
  • Neurological drivers: the root causes behind the dysregulation
— THE GAP IN STANDARD CARE

What Standard Care Misses

Standard medical care is excellent at ruling out catastrophic disease. But it often misses the functional neurological causes of persistent symptoms. Here’s what we find that others don’t:

  • Autonomic problems that a single tilt-table result does not explain
  • Which parts of the autonomic system are dysregulated
  • The neurological root causes behind your symptoms

My teenage daughter was diagnosed with seizure disorder and subsequently ortho static intolerance after suffering a whiplash/concussive injury… After a week of intensive therapy, we have already seen great improvement and have hope that she will return to her active self soon.

Our Approach to POTS / Dysautonomia

POTS and dysautonomia require a comprehensive autonomic evaluation — not just a tilt-table test in isolation. We measure the full picture of your autonomic nervous system function, identify which components are dysregulated, and build a treatment plan that addresses the neurological root causes. Our approach combines autonomic rehabilitation, vestibular treatment, and metabolic support to restore nervous system balance.

Frequently Asked Questions

POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) is a form of dysautonomia characterized by an abnormal increase in heart rate when moving from lying to standing. It causes dizziness, fatigue, brain fog, and a wide range of other symptoms.
The gold standard for POTS diagnosis is the tilt-table test, which measures heart rate and blood pressure changes with positional changes. A heart rate increase of 30+ beats per minute (40+ in adolescents) upon standing is diagnostic.
Yes. POTS is a disorder of the autonomic nervous system — the part of the nervous system that regulates heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and other automatic functions. Functional neurology is well-positioned to evaluate and treat autonomic dysfunction.
Yes. Post-concussion POTS is increasingly recognized. Head injury can disrupt the autonomic nervous system, leading to POTS symptoms that persist long after the initial injury. Our evaluation looks for this connection specifically.
Treatment depends on the underlying cause. We use a combination of autonomic rehabilitation exercises, vestibular therapy, metabolic support, and lifestyle modifications tailored to your specific findings. We do not prescribe medications, but we work alongside your prescribing physicians.
