At Neuro Brain Health Institute, we believe that good neurological care is not only about treating what is obvious—it is also about looking deeper when a patient's symptoms suggest that something may be happening beneath the surface.
That philosophy is one of the reasons our physician was determined to bring VitalScan ANS+ testing into our clinic.
The autonomic nervous system quietly regulates many of the functions we depend on every day, including heart rate, blood pressure, circulation, breathing, digestion, sweating, and temperature regulation. When this system is not functioning normally, the signs are not always straightforward. A patient may experience dizziness, fainting or near-fainting, unusual changes in heart rate or blood pressure, fatigue, exercise intolerance, abnormal sweating, or other symptoms that can be difficult to explain from symptoms alone.
That is where objective testing can become important.
VitalScan ANS+ provides our physician with additional physiologic information about how a patient's autonomic nervous system is functioning. Rather than relying solely on how a patient feels at one moment in time, ANS testing can provide measurable information that can be considered alongside the patient's symptoms, medical history, neurological examination, and other diagnostic testing.
Our physician strongly believes in investigating concerning symptoms rather than simply waiting for them to become more severe.
When clinically appropriate, evaluating autonomic function may help identify abnormalities that warrant further attention, guide additional diagnostic evaluation, and give the physician more information when developing an individualized care plan.
It is important to understand that VitalScan ANS+ is not a stand-alone answer for every neurological condition, nor does an abnormal result automatically mean that a patient has a particular disease. Instead, it is another valuable piece of clinical information that helps our physician see a more complete picture.
Because our patients deserve more than a one-size-fits-all approach.
We brought VitalScan ANS+ to Neuro Brain Health Institute so that appropriate patients can receive advanced autonomic testing conveniently within our neurological practice, with the results interpreted in the context of their overall neurological health.
For us, advanced technology has value when it helps answer a very human question:
“Why am I feeling this way?”
Sometimes the first step toward finding that answer is knowing where—and how—to look.
