Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is a group of hereditary connective tissue disorders marked by joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, and tissue fragility. It can cause chronic musculoskeletal pain, frequent joint dislocations, fatigue, and autonomic symptoms that significantly impact daily functioning. With the right treatment plan and ongoing support, many people with EDS are able to manage their symptoms and maintain a meaningful quality of life.
Doctronic can help evaluate and support the management of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome for adults experiencing joint hypermobility, chronic pain, skin fragility, and related symptoms. Our physicians can assess your symptom history and coordinate a treatment plan tailored to your specific EDS subtype and needs.
Because EDS involves the musculoskeletal system, autonomic nervous system, and connective tissue throughout the body, a thorough review of your medical history, prior diagnoses, and current symptoms is essential. Our licensed physicians will carefully review your intake to ensure safe and appropriate care.
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a group of hereditary disorders that affect connective tissue, which provides structure and support to the skin, joints, blood vessels, and organs. There are 13 recognized subtypes, with hypermobile EDS (hEDS) being the most common. Symptoms vary by subtype but often include joint hypermobility, chronic pain, skin that is unusually stretchy or fragile, and fatigue.
Most EDS subtypes are caused by mutations in genes that encode collagen or collagen-processing proteins. Collagen is a key structural protein found throughout the body. In hypermobile EDS, the exact genetic cause has not yet been identified. EDS is often inherited in an autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive pattern, depending on the subtype.
Common symptoms include joints that move beyond their normal range (hypermobility), frequent joint dislocations or subluxations, chronic musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, soft or velvety skin that may bruise easily, slow wound healing, and in some subtypes, fragile blood vessels. Many patients also experience autonomic dysfunction, digestive issues, and anxiety.
Diagnosis is primarily clinical, based on a thorough review of symptoms, personal and family history, and physical examination findings such as the Beighton score for hypermobility. Genetic testing can confirm specific subtypes such as classical or vascular EDS. Hypermobile EDS currently has no confirmatory genetic test and is diagnosed by clinical criteria.
There is currently no cure for EDS. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms, preventing injuries, and improving quality of life. Physical therapy, pain management, joint protection strategies, and treating specific complications are the mainstays of care. Some patients benefit from medications to address pain, muscle spasms, or autonomic symptoms.
Yes. Vascular EDS (vEDS) is one of the most serious subtypes and is caused by mutations in the COL3A1 gene. It can lead to spontaneous rupture of arteries, the bowel, or the uterus, and requires close medical monitoring. If vascular EDS is suspected, urgent specialist evaluation is recommended and certain activities may need to be restricted.
