Stimulus processing (EN)

Veldhoven & Waalre

Problems with sensory processing can significantly affect daily life. When stimuli such as sound, light, crowding, or information are difficult to process, this can lead to overload and exhaustion. At Cardo Healthcare, we help you recognize, understand, and treat issues related to sensory processing.

More information

Sensory processing is the body’s and brain’s ability to filter and process incoming stimuli. When this processing is disrupted, everyday stimuli can be perceived as too much or too intense. Problems with sensory processing often occur in combination with:

  • Stress or prolonged overload
  • Fatigue and concentration problems
  • Recovery after illness, burnout, or post-COVID
  • Chronic pain
  • Mental or emotional stress

The complaints can be temporary, but they can also persist for a long time.

People with sensory processing issues often experience:

  • Sensitivity to sound, light, or crowds
  • Becoming easily overstimulated or exhausted
  • Difficulty multitasking
  • Headaches or tension complaints
  • Loss of concentration
  • Need for a lot of rest or withdrawal

These symptoms can limit functioning at work, at home, and in social situations.
