Dysautonomia Treatment in Jacksonville FL
Integrated brain and body care to calm the nervous system and manage symptoms of POTS, NCS, and Autonomic Dysfunction
Dysautonomia, including conditions like POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), is a profound disruption of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)—the automatic system that controls heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and temperature. This leaves patients in a perpetual state of "fight-or-flight," struggling with symptoms like tachycardia, chronic fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, and severe temperature intolerance.
At the Brain Optimization Institute in Jacksonville, FL, we view Dysautonomia not as a heart condition, but as a central brain-based failure of the ANS regulator (the limbic system and brainstem). We recognize that chronic stressors—be they viral, inflammatory, or structural—have overloaded the system.
We utilize the BrainOp Reconnection SystemTM—a comprehensive framework that uses Functional Neurology and Functional Medicine to quiet the inflammatory storm and retrain the brainstem and vagus nerve, helping the ANS find its stable rhythm again.
Our framework for restoring autonomic balance is built on five essential pillars to help patients move from constant survival into stable regulation:
Reconnect your brain and nervous system
Reconnect to your purpose by releasing trauma
Reconnect to foods and environments you love
Reconnect to pain-free movement
Reconnect to the life you want
Dysautonomia Challenges We Support
We most often work with Jacksonville and Florida residents struggling with:
-
POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome)
Significant increase in heart rate upon standing, often leading to dizziness, fatigue, and brain fog.
-
Neurocardiogenic Syncope (NCS)
Fainting or near-fainting spells.
-
Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia (IST)
Chronically elevated heart rate.
-
Orthostatic Hypotension
Sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing.
-
General Autonomic Dysfunction
Persistent issues with temperature regulation, anxiety, and digestive motility.
Our care focuses on identifying the root cause—whether it’s post-viral, autoimmune, or structural—and delivering targeted neurological rehabilitation to stabilize the brain's control centers.
How We Assess Autonomic Dysregulation
Every patient begins with an in-depth evaluation focused on the nervous system's function, not just isolated symptoms.
Our Testing Includes:
Neurological Assessments
Eye movement analysis, balance testing, and observation of pupil reactivity to assess brainstem and vagal tone.
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Testing
Objective measurement of the balance between the sympathetic ("fight-or-flight") and parasympathetic ("rest-and-digest") branches of the ANS.
Limbic Brain Testing
Identifying patterns related to emotional trauma and chronic stress that contribute to autonomic overload.
Laboratory Testing
When needed, we evaluate inflammation, immune triggers, mast cell activation, and mitochondrial function.
This whole-body assessment allows us to create a personalized map for ANS retraining and functional recovery.
Your Next Step
Dysautonomia may be part of your story, but it doesn't have to define your future. At Brain Optimization Institute, we believe every patient can reconnect with resilience, purpose, and health.
If you’re ready to explore a new path — one that addresses the whole you, not just your symptoms — we invite you to take the first step.
