Gentle, low-force care in Kirkland, WA that works with your body, not against it.
Book NowAt Renew Chiropractic in Kirkland, WA, Dr. Emily Anderson believes care should work with your body, not against it. For patients living with POTS, dysautonomia, or hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, that means gentle, individualized approaches that respect your unique needs, comfort level, and medical history. No cookie-cutter adjustments. No unnecessary force. Just thoughtful care designed around you.
Living with POTS, dysautonomia, or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) can feel like your body is playing by a different set of rules. One day, you're managing just fine. The next, you're dealing with dizziness, joint pain, fatigue, or muscles that never seem to relax.
And when your joints are already hypermobile or your nervous system is especially sensitive, traditional chiropractic adjustments might not sound appealing.
These conditions are different, but they can overlap. Understanding how they affect your body is an important part of finding the right approach to care.
POTS is a condition affecting the autonomic nervous system, often causing an unusually rapid heart rate when standing. Symptoms may include dizziness, fatigue, brain fog, headaches, and difficulty tolerating physical activity. While chiropractic care doesn't treat POTS itself, gentle musculoskeletal treatment may help with accompanying neck pain, back discomfort, and muscle tension.
Your autonomic nervous system handles many of the things your body does automatically, including regulating heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and temperature. When that system isn't functioning properly, everyday activities can become unexpectedly challenging. At Renew, we recognize that patients with dysautonomia may need adjustments to their treatment positioning, appointment pace, and physical demands. Our goal is to make musculoskeletal care as comfortable and manageable as possible.
If you have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, especially hypermobile EDS, you may know what it's like to have joints that move a little too freely. EDS affects connective tissue, and hEDS can contribute to joint instability, recurring injuries, muscle fatigue, and chronic pain. For hypermobile patients, the goal isn't necessarily to increase joint movement. It's to carefully address musculoskeletal discomfort while respecting joints that may already have more mobility than they need.
Every condition above calls for a different level of caution. Dr. Anderson evaluates joint stability, sensitivities, and medical precautions before recommending any treatment—and sometimes the right recommendation is a modified approach or no manipulation at all.
Targeted care without the traditional twist or crack. Not every patient needs or wants a traditional manual adjustment.
The ArthroStim is a handheld chiropractic instrument designed to deliver rapid, controlled mechanical impulses to targeted areas. Rather than relying on larger twisting or rotational movements, it allows for localized, adjustable-force treatment.
For patients managing hypermobility, chronic pain, or sensitivity to manual adjustments, this type of technique may offer a more comfortable experience when clinically appropriate.
For people with EDS, even low-force adjustments require careful evaluation. ArthroStim is not appropriate for every patient or every joint, and it has not been established as a treatment for POTS, dysautonomia, or EDS itself.
At Renew Chiropractic, we don't believe in forcing your body into a treatment plan. Dr. Anderson takes time to understand your symptoms, how your condition affects everyday life, and what you're hoping to accomplish. For patients with POTS, dysautonomia, or EDS, that means considering more than just where something hurts.
Sometimes the best approach means adjusting the technique. Other times, it means avoiding manipulation altogether. The goal is simple: help you feel heard, supported, and more comfortable in your body.
We'll start with your story. Your symptoms, diagnoses, past experiences with treatment, and concerns all matter.
Dr. Anderson will evaluate your musculoskeletal concerns while considering joint stability, sensitivities, and any medical precautions.
If chiropractic treatment is appropriate, we'll discuss gentle techniques and options that fit your individual needs.
We'll monitor how you respond, make changes when needed, and keep your comfort and long-term goals at the center of your care.
You shouldn't have to explain away your symptoms or feel rushed through your care. At Renew Chiropractic, we believe in listening first, treating thoughtfully, and meeting you where you're at. Whether you're navigating hypermobility, chronic musculoskeletal discomfort, or the challenges that come with POTS and dysautonomia, we're here to discuss how gentle chiropractic care might fit into your overall health plan.
