Dysautonomia Bootcamp
Neuro-Rehabilitation in POTS Syndrome
Presented by: Dr. Nathan Keiser
Are you looking to solve Dyautonomias and don’t know where to start? Curious about the Functional Neurology approach to those conditions? Let the Dysautonomia Bootcamp serve as your jumpstart into that journey!
Often misunderstood and misdiagnosed, Dysautonomia has historically been a challenging set of conditions for clinicians and their patients… until now! Dysautonomia Bootcamp serves to quickly get you up to speed and demystify those set of conditions, along with a special focus on postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). Learn diagnosis, pathophysiology, examination skills and a novel treatment approach to solving what once was a challenging set of conditions.
Treatment Apporach
Clinicians leveraging the Functional Neurology paradigm to solve dysautonomia use a multimodal approach that requires astute physical and neurological examination skills, as well as the brain-based approach that the Carrick Institute has been teaching for over 44 years. The assessments taught allow clinicians to create individualized treatment plans for the patients, with the aim of restoring their normal autonomic function as quickly and effectively as possible.

Continuing Education
Continuing education requirements to maintain certification status through a professional association are usually separate from the state board’s requirements. In order to maintain your certification status in your state please submit a State Continuing Education Application Form. *We cannot guarantee approval for individual state CEUS. Each state has different rules and regulations. State Applications need to be submitted at least 90 days prior to the state date of your course* Recertification / Diplomate Requirements: All Carrick Institute courses are approved by the ACFN & ACNB.
