Dysautonomia - A Modern Clinical Approach to Diagnosis & Rehabilitation

Dysautonomia is often present in patients and is missed by clinicians. This program aims to never let that happen to you by teaching what you need to know to become an expert in the diagnosis and rehabilitation of Dysautonomia. Dysautonomia is a set of conditions that are often either the direct cause of our patient’s disease or as a concomitant of what they are suffering from.  Clinicians must be trained to recognize and rehabilitate dysautonomia to serve their patients at the highest levels possible.

Who is this class for?
This Dysautonomia Program will appeal to any healthcare practitioner wanting to understand the breadth, depth, and applications of how to masterfully help patients suffering from dysautonomia.
  • Learn a comprehensive understanding of the physiology of dysautonomia
  • Learn physical exam skills to arrive at the correct root cause of the patients suffering
  • Learn a modern approach to creating individualized treatment plans for dysautonomia patients.

 

The Treatment Approach Taught in Dysautonomia

Scholars who attend this program will learn to assess their patient’s neurophysiology through an evidence-based physical and neurological exam, learn the pathophysiology of the spectrum of dysautonomia conditions, know how to arrive at the appropriate diagnosis, and with precision learn how to create customized rehabilitation programs for that specific patient. 

This is not teaching a cookie-cutter approach to dysautonomia rehab but rather teaches you how to think about each patient on a case-by-case basis so you can deliver a customized and effective solution for them. 

Why Learn Functional Neurology?

Optimizing one's nervous system creates an environment for maximum healing while simultaneously maximizing the human potential.

Why Learn Functional Neurology?

Our nervous system controls all our bodily functions, actions, and reactions. Many diseases often involve negative changes within the central nervous system that further promote and contribute to the initial illness. It is becoming more evident that many diseases can also originate from dysfunction within the CNS, requiring practitioners to know about these relationships, especially when patients fail to respond to standard treatments.

Leveraging functional neurology to optimize nervous system function refers to the process of stimulating the CNS  with the goal of restoring optimal functional connectivity. It relies on two critical elements for its success: the first neurogenesis and the second neuroplasticity. Neurogenesis refers to the creation of new neurons, while neuroplasticity refers to the ability of our nervous system to rewire and optimize itself.

Thus, optimizing one’s nervous system creates an environment for maximum healing while simultaneously maximizing the human potential.

Dysautonomia Program Education Resources

The ReceptorBased Essentials has completely transformed the way I approach cases. I learned more clinical applications in this course than I did in any other course I have taken. I feel confident that I have a great foundation to build off of in Functional Neurology. Whether you're looking to get started with your Functional Neurology education, continue your FN education or to just take one course and be done - ReceptorBased Essentials will set you up for success to work with even the most complicated cases.
