Understanding
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome:
What Is Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome?
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a group of genetic connective tissue disorders characterized by joint hypermobility, skin elasticity, and tissue fragility.
EDS affects collagen the protein responsible for strength and support in skin, joints, blood vessels, and organs.
Because EDS impacts multiple body systems, symptoms can vary widely and may include frequent sprains, chronic pain, fatigue, and digestive or cardiovascular issues.
Types of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome we Treat at Back in Action
Our Multidisciplinary team treats all forms of EDS, including:
Hypermobile EDS (hEDS)
Classical EDS (cEDS)
Vascular EDS (vEDS)
Understanding
EDS:
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Symptoms
Though each person presents differently, common symptoms include:
-
Joint pain, stiffness, or frequent dislocations
-
Muscle weakness or poor proprioception
-
Fatigue and widespread chronic pain
-
Stretchy or fragile skin
-
Poor wound healing and easy bruising
-
Digestive problems and autonomic dysfunction
EDS symptoms often overlap with other conditions, making accurate diagnosis and expert clinical evaluation essential.
Why Early Diagnosis Matters
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is commonly underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed — often mistaken for general joint pain or fibromyalgia. Early recognition allows for:
-
Customized therapeutic strategies
-
Reduced risk of injury and joint damage
-
Better pain and symptom management
-
Improved long-term quality of life
Back in Action clinicians use advanced movement analysis and symptom evaluation to help identify EDS and differentiate it from other musculoskeletal disorders.
What sets Back in Action (North York) apart is our integrated team approach: physiotherapy + chiropractic + massage therapy + stretch therapy, working together to get you better, faster.
The most effective treatment uses a combination of manual therapy + exercise therapy + education + self-management strategies.
