Chronic Conditions: Headaches, Migraines, Light and Noise Sensitivity, and Autonomic Dysregulation (POTS)

At Brain Health D.C., we specialize in the treatment of chronic conditions that can significantly impact your daily life, including headaches, migraines, light and noise sensitivity, and autonomic dysregulation such as Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). Dr. Nisreen Tayebjee’s expertise in functional neurology allows us to offer holistic and personalized care that addresses the underlying causes of these conditions, providing relief and restoring your quality of life.

Headaches and Migraines

Headaches and migraines are more than just a temporary discomfort—they can be debilitating and interfere with daily activities. Migraines, in particular, are often accompanied by nausea, visual disturbances, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound.

Our approach to treating headaches and migraines includes:

• Comprehensive Neurological Assessment: We start with a detailed evaluation to identify the triggers and neurological imbalances that contribute to your headaches or migraines.
• Functional Neurology Interventions: We use targeted therapies, including neuroplasticity-based exercises, to address the specific brain regions involved in headache and migraine pain.
• Lifestyle and Nutritional Support: By identifying dietary triggers, managing stress, and optimizing lifestyle factors, we help reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches and migraines.

Light and Noise Sensitivity

Sensitivity to light (photophobia) and noise (phonophobia) often accompanies chronic conditions like migraines, concussions, and vestibular disorders. These sensitivities can make everyday environments overwhelming and difficult to navigate.

Our treatment approach for light and noise sensitivity includes:

• Environmental and Sensory Modifications: We work with you to create a more tolerable environment, offering practical solutions such as light-filtering lenses or noise-canceling devices.
• Neurological Desensitization: Through gradual exposure therapy and neuroplasticity exercises, we help your brain become less reactive to these stimuli, reducing sensitivity over time.
• Stress Management Techniques: Since stress can exacerbate sensory sensitivities, we incorporate relaxation techniques and mindfulness practices to help you manage and reduce stress.

Autonomic Dysregulation (POTS)

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a form of autonomic dysregulation where the body’s autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary functions like heart rate and blood pressure, does not function properly. This can lead to symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, rapid heartbeat, and fatigue, especially when standing up.

Our approach to managing POTS includes:

• Thorough Diagnostic Evaluation: We perform a comprehensive assessment of your autonomic nervous system to understand the extent of dysregulation and its impact on your daily life.
• Functional Neurology and Rehabilitation: We design individualized programs that include physical conditioning, neuroplasticity exercises, and other therapies to help improve autonomic function and reduce symptoms.
• Nutritional and Hydration Strategies: Proper nutrition and hydration are crucial in managing POTS. We provide tailored dietary recommendations to help stabilize blood pressure and support overall autonomic function.
• Lifestyle Modifications: We offer guidance on lifestyle changes, such as exercise routines and positional adjustments, to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

At Brain Health D.C., we are committed to addressing the root causes of chronic conditions rather than simply masking the symptoms.
