We test what actually sets it off.
Dizziness is not something you have to wait out. This retrains the system that tells your brain which way is up.
What It Is
Balance runs on three inputs: your inner ear, your eyes, and the sensors in your neck and legs. When one of them starts sending the wrong signal, the room spins, the floor stops feeling reliable, and your world gets smaller by the week. Vestibular therapy retrains that system.
The first job is finding out which input is misbehaving. Positional vertigo, known as BPPV, comes from loose crystals in the inner ear, and it often responds quickly to repositioning treatment. Other kinds of dizziness need gaze, head and balance retraining instead. From the outside they look almost the same. They are treated very differently.
You may have been told it will pass. Sometimes it does. When it does not, you quietly become the careful one: driving less, skipping the stairs, keeping a hand on the wall. A cause-first evaluation sorts out which kind of dizziness you have before anything is treated, so you are not waiting on the wrong thing.
Dizziness is not one thing, so it is not one treatment

Parts of it may bring your symptoms on briefly, because we have to see what triggers them to know what we are treating. It is short, you are supported the whole time, and a licensed physical therapist explains each step before it happens. You can stop whenever you need to, and we would far rather you tell us than push through it quietly.
Some dizziness does settle on its own. The trouble is that different causes look nearly identical from the outside and need very different treatment. Positional vertigo, or BPPV, often responds quickly to repositioning treatment, while other kinds need retraining for your eyes, head and balance. An evaluation tells you which one you are dealing with, so you are not spending months waiting on the wrong thing.
Most insurance plans cover physical therapy, and we check your exact plan before your first visit so you know the cost in advance. In California you also do not need a physician referral to get started. Questions before then? Call us at (818) 341-3791.
