POTs

Acupuncture can be a helpful complementary treatment for individuals with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), a condition that affects the autonomic nervous system and causes symptoms like dizziness, heart palpitations, fatigue, and blood pressure fluctuations when standing. Acupuncture can assist in managing these symptoms by promoting balance and improving the body's overall functioning. Acupuncture helps POTs by regulating the Autonomic Nervous System, improving circulation, reducing inflammation, balancing energy levels, reducing anxiety, and improving blood pressure regulation. While acupuncture cannot cure POTS, it may offer relief from many of the symptoms and help improve quality of life. As part of a comprehensive treatment plan, it can be an effective adjunct therapy for managing POTS symptoms.

When used alongside acupuncture, traditional Chinese herbs can be an effective treatment in managing Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) by supporting circulation, stabilizing blood pressure, and reducing symptoms such as dizziness and fatigue. Traditional Chinese herbal formulas are tailored to strengthen the autonomic nervous system, improve blood flow, and regulate heart rate, helping to alleviate the discomfort associated with POTS. Herbal treatments can also address underlying factors like inflammation and adrenal fatigue, which may contribute to the condition. When used alongside acupuncture, herbal medicine can promote overall balance, enhance energy levels, and support long-term health. At Johns Island Acupuncture, we offer personalized herbal and acupuncture treatment plans designed to help manage POTS and improve your quality of life.
