Vertigo

Vertigo, Dizziness, & Balance

Do you feel “dizzy”, “drunk”, “disoriented”, “foggy-headed”, “crazy-headed”, or “off?”

These are just a few of the common descriptions we hear from our clients. Are you falling, or “almost falling”, staggering, meandering, or holding onto walls and furniture? Do you have to keep your eyes open in the shower so you don’t fall?

THIS IS NOT NORMAL!!!!!!!

Problems with vertigo, dizziness, and balance can be life-altering. We understand that and are committed to intently listening to all of your concerns. These issues are often complex, and the root cause may relate to multiple systems in the body, including your inner ear (also called the vestibular system), vision, sensation, neurological, and musculoskeletal systems. It is important to understand everything that is involved in causing your symptoms so that you can receive the appropriate treatment.
