Acupuncture For Adrenal Fatigue And Autonomic Dysfunction Gold Coast

Autonomic dysfunction is an imbalance or disruption in the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which controls involuntary bodily functions such as heart rate, digestion, and temperature regulation.

Adrenal fatigue is a term used to describe non-specific symptoms such as fatigue, body aches, and sleep disturbances. It suggests that the adrenal glands are not functioning optimally due to chronic stress.

Acupuncture initially could be weekly but can quickly progress to every 2-3 weeks. Treatment can be over a long period.

Diagnosis involves a comprehensive evaluation that includes medical history, physical examination, autonomic function tests, and potentially specialized imaging or blood tests.

Treatment approaches may include addressing the underlying cause, acupuncture and possible Chinese herbs may be used to address your symptoms.

Yes, lifestyle changes such as staying hydrated, maintaining a balanced diet, engaging in regular exercise, managing stress, and getting adequate sleep can positively impact autonomic function.
