54 - Dr. Kevin Lasko on his Unique Approach to Treating Hypermobility, POTS and More

On this episode, our guest is a practitioner who has treated patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome for decades. Dr. Kevin Lasko is a board-certified Chiropractor with extensive neurological background experience who owns and operates his own practice called Hemispheres in Quarryville, Pennsylvania. Dr. Lasko’s practice treats many of the signs and symptoms of hypermobility conditions including Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. His treatments have addressed issues like high heart rate (tachycardia), increased sweating, gastroparesis, sleep difficulties, issues with swallowing, and issues associated with mast cell activation and brain fog. He also treats movement disorders including dystonia, tremors, and twitches. Dr. Lasko also has significant experience in working with POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) including symptoms like changes in heart-rate, blood pressure issues, dizziness, and loss of balance. He is also highly experienced in dealing with cervical spine instability which is a major issue for many patients with hypermobility conditions, myself included, and his practice uses a digital motion x-ray (DMX) to evaluate cervical spine dysfunction including craniocervical instability and atlantoaxial instability. Dr. Lasko’s appointments involve individualized care with multi-hour appointments to evaluate his patients in their entirety. He also provides 3-5 day treatment plans (or longer), as well as individualized at-home programs.
