VNS Analysis in Düsseldorf

Your autonomic nervous system in focus.

Analysis of the Autonomic Nervous System (VNS) in Düsseldorf

In the heart of Düsseldorf, we offer HRV analysis – a modern, scientifically recognized method for measuring the autonomic nervous system (ANS) via heart rate variability (HRV). The ANS controls vital bodily functions such as blood pressure, respiration, heartbeat, digestion, energy balance, and the hormonal and immune systems. It comprises the sympathetic nervous system (fight-or-flight) and the parasympathetic nervous system (rest-and-digest). A healthy organism thrives on the balance of these two systems; if this balance is disrupted, it can lead to long-term health problems and illnesses.

Especially in today’s world, chronic stress is a frequent trigger for dysregulation. HRV analysis reveals how well your body compensates for stress and whether your nervous system operates in a healthy rhythm between tension and relaxation.

What are the benefits of VNS analysis?

VNS analysis is not only a diagnostic tool but also useful for prevention and therapy monitoring. It can:

  • Detect regulatory dysfunctions early, before illness develops
  • Provide insights into stress load, burnout, or autonomic exhaustion
  • Track the progression of chronic diseases and document treatment success
  • Provide additional information in cases of hypertension, digestive disorders, or sleep problems

Long term, VNS analysis helps assess risks more accurately and take preventive action.

Who is VNS analysis suitable for?

The method is suitable for adults and is applied in:

  • Preventive health check-ups
  • Stress and burnout diagnostics
  • Monitoring chronic conditions
  • Therapy support in naturopathy, osteopathy, and psychotherapy

What does a VNS analysis involve?

Scheduling: We schedule about 20–30 minutes for the analysis. The measurement is carried out in a seated and relaxed position.

Consultation & Preparation: First, we will discuss your symptoms, stress factors, or existing pre-existing conditions.

Measurement: Using a chest strap, the intervals of 520 heartbeats are recorded and analyzed with specialized software. The key factor is variability—the heart’s ability to respond flexibly to internal and external stimuli.

Evaluation: Results are displayed graphically. High variability indicates strong regenerative capacity, while low variability suggests sympathetic dominance (chronic stress) and reduced ability to recover.

Consultation & Support: We review the findings with you and provide recommendations for possible next steps—whether for prevention, therapy support, or treatment monitoring.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about VNS Analysis

What exactly does VNS analysis measure?

It records heart rate variability (HRV) as an indicator of autonomic regulation—the balance between sympathetic (tension) and parasympathetic (recovery) activity.

How does the examination work?

The measurement is carried out at rest using a chest strap. Within about 20 minutes, heartbeats are recorded and analyzed. Results are available immediately.

Is VNS analysis stressful or painful?

No, the examination is completely painless and non-invasive. You sit or lie down comfortably during the measurement.

When is VNS analysis useful?

It is particularly helpful in cases of stress, exhaustion, burnout risk, sleep problems, hypertension, or for monitoring chronic conditions.

How often should VNS analysis be done?

For preventive purposes, an annual check is often sufficient. In cases of existing conditions or ongoing therapies, regular follow-up assessments may be beneficial.

Are the costs of VNS analysis covered by insurance?

Billing is based on the German fee schedule for alternative practitioners (GebüH). Please check with your insurance company beforehand to see if partial reimbursement is possible.
