Tilt table testing and autonomic nervous system testing for the evaluation of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is now available at Lancaster Brain & Spine, in addition to established evaluation and treatment programs for POTS and dysautonomia.

POTS is characterized by an excessive increase in heart rate when transitioning from lying down to standing up, and can be life-altering. Tilt table testing and autonomic nervous system testing offers a diagnostic breakthrough helping pinpoint POTS with precision. During this non-invasive procedure, a specialized table gradually tilts to mimic postural changes, allowing experts to monitor heart rate and blood pressure fluctuations in real time for accurate diagnoses.

Shayne N. Bushong, DC, says, “By gradually acclimating patients to upright positions, this therapy improves circulation, reduces symptoms and offers a glimmer of hope to those struggling with POTS. As our understanding of POTS deepens, tilt table testing and therapy shine as beacons of progress, offering relief and a path to a more fulfilling life for POTS patients.”
