What it feels like
- Heart racing or palpitations when you stand
- Lightheadedness, “graying out,” or need to lie down
- Fatigue, brain fog, heat intolerance, GI flares
Why can it trigger it
Head–neck trauma can irritate autonomic pathways and reduce cervical afferent accuracy, confusing the body’s blood-pressure and heart-rate control. Deconditioning and sleep disruption keep the loop going.
Our integrated approach
- Screening: orthostatic vitals, symptom diaries, medication review
- Foundations: fluids/electrolytes, compression, graded recumbent exercise
- Targeted rehab: cervical stabilization + vestibular work to reduce sensory mismatch
- Procedure support: selective nerve/occipital/facet interventions for headache/neck drivers
- Collaborative care: cardiology or ENT partners when appropriate
Treat the autonomic and neck/vestibular systems, and function improves.
