According to estimates, 50% to 70% of the U.S. population has mild to moderate imbalances in the two branches of the nervous system: sympathetic and parasympathetic. Most illnesses occur when these branches are out of balance.
We offer non-invasive autonomic nervous system testing (ANS) to help us determine how your body responds to disease, injury, medicine and medical treatments—so that we can provide the most effective treatment plan for you, and you can heal from a painful condition quickly and experience enhanced wellness.
Our ANS nerve test procedure is the same one used by neurologists, cardiologists, and endocrinologists. We apply small pads to your chest and a blood pressure cuff on your arm, then monitor your body’s response to relaxation, deep breaths, strain, and standing. Our computer collects data on your heart rate variability and respiratory activity. The entire process takes about 30 minutes.
The findings from your nerve damage test help us determine the state of your autonomic nervous system and how it’s affecting your health. We’ll then offer recommendations on how to improve your ANS functioning so that your body is as healthy as possible.
The ankle-brachial index test is a fairly quick, non-invasive procedure that allows your doctor to screen for peripheral artery disease (PAD). If you have PAD, your doctor may also use the ankle-brachial index test to determine the status of your PAD and whether treatment is working effectively.
The ankle-brachial index test involves your doctor assessing the blood pressure in your ankles against the blood pressure in your arms. The procedure process may vary, but in general, your doctor will begin the ABI procedure by using inflatable cuffs to measure the blood pressure in your arms. Next, your doctor will measure the blood pressure in your ankles. Your doctor may also use a Doppler ultrasound device to assess your ankle’s pulse.
Your ABI test results will be based on medical calculations and measurements from your doctor. The results from your doctor’s calculations will indicate whether you have a normal ABI, if you have a blockage in your arteries, or if you may have PAD. If your doctor believes you have PAD, additional ultrasound testing may be required.
The benefit of the ankle-brachial index test is its ability to help screen for peripheral artery disease. The ABI test also allows your doctor to provide you with treatment options based on the severity of your PAD. Speak with your doctor to find out more about the benefits of an ABI test.
