Neurological Conditions

To help you begin your journey with Vitalease, we’ve included a brief overview of some of the 50+ conditions we treat. If your condition isn’t listed below, we still encourage you to check your eligibility you may still qualify.

Migraine

This complex neurological disorder involves far more than severe, debilitating head pain. It can also be accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue, mood changes, and dizziness.

Autism

People with autism experience the world in unique ways. Many may find communication challenging, engage in repetitive behaviors, feel overwhelmed by bright lights or loud noises, and at times experience anxiety or stress.

Epilepsy

This condition affects the brain and causes seizures sometimes referred to as fits that can last from a few seconds to several minutes.

Multiple sclerosis (MS)

Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects the brain and spinal cord. Common symptoms include fatigue, dizziness, and muscle cramps. These symptoms can appear suddenly known as a flare-up and may worsen over time.

Parkinson's

This condition typically affects people over the age of 50, where parts of the brain become progressively damaged. The loss of brain cells can lead to symptoms such as tremors, slowed movement, and muscle stiffness, and it tends to worsen over time.

ADHD

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a condition that affects how a person thinks and behaves. It generally presents in three ways: hyperactive-impulsive (restless, loud, and sometimes disruptive), inattentive (easily distracted, often bored, and disorganized), and combined type (a mix of both).

Mental Health

Anxiety

Fear, worry, unease, even dread can be natural reactions to stressful situations that anyone can experience. Though unpleasant in the moment, it’s normal. But for some, anxiety is more than a passing feeling, and when symptoms persist, this can affect daily life.

Depression

Depression can be a common, yet serious, debilitating mood disorder. Symptoms can range from persistent low mood and lethargy to an unshakeable feeling that life itself is not worth living.

PTSD

This condition is usually associated with witnessing or nearly experiencing death, serious injury and/or sexual violence. Some of the symptoms include: recurring, intrusive memories or nightmares of the traumatic event, persistent feelings of guilt, shame, fear or anger, and self-destructive or reckless behaviour.

OCD

People with this condition develop obsessive and compulsive behaviours. Obsessive thoughts, urges or images enter the mind, causing unease and anxiety. A compulsion is a repetitive act that will help relieve these obsessive thoughts.

Insomnia

Someone suffering from insomnia will regularly struggle to get a good night's sleep. And no matter who you are - age, gender, occupation - sleep is essential in allowing us to function day-to-day.

Chronic Pain

Back pain

This common physical complaint affects millions worldwide. According to the NHS, back pain is the leading cause of disability in the UK, affecting about 11% of the population and significantly impacting many people's quality of life.

Fibromyalgia

This common chronic condition causes widespread pain all over the body. Symptoms can suddenly improve, then get worse, and this unpredictability, as well as an unknown cause, can negatively impact day-to-day life.

Arthritis

This is when the joints become inflamed, causing pain. There are lots of different types of arthritis, but two of the most common types are osteoarthritis followed by rheumatoid arthritis.

Cancer related

Cancer treatment can come with some unpleasant side effects. But did you know there’s some research that suggests plant medicine can potentially be used alongside things like chemotherapy and radiation, to ease some of their symptoms. For example neuropathic pain (nerve pain), nausea, inflammation, anxiety, and even improve appetite.

Crohn's Disease

Crohn’s disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes inflammation in the digestive tract. This lifelong condition can flare-up at any time, with symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhoea, fatigue, weight loss, and reduced appetite. And this can massively affect overall quality of life.

Ulcerative Colitis

Ulcerative colitis is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes inflammation and ulcers in the colon and rectum. This long-term condition can flare-up at any time, with symptoms like diarrhoea, abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, fatigue, and weight loss. And this can massively affect overall quality of life.

Women's Health

Endometriosis

This condition causes cells similar to those in the lining of the womb (uterus) to grow in other parts of the body. Some of the more common symptoms include severe period pain, heavy periods, extreme tiredness, difficulty getting pregnant, and low mood or anxiety.

Menopause

When hormone levels decrease, causing periods to stop, it’s likely you’re going through menopause. Some of the common symptoms include anxiety, mood swings, brain fog, hot flushes, and irregular periods.

Pre-menstrual dysphoria

Also known as PMDD, this is a much more severe form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). It comes with many severe symptoms including depression, anxiety, mood swings, and lack of energy.
