This specialized therapy utilizes various techniques, including balance, gaze stabilization, and habituation exercises, to improve balance, reduce dizziness, and enhance overall stability.

Finding your balance

treatment for dizziness

Dizziness encompasses a variety of sensations, including feelings of spinning, unsteadiness, and lightheadedness. It is one of the most frequently reported complaints in medical settings, ranking as the second most common issue presented to doctors today.

Understanding Dizziness:

Common Dizziness and Balance Disorders that we treat

  • Characterized by brief episodes of spinning sensation triggered by head movements
  • Caused by displaced calcium crystals in the inner ear
  • Treatable with specific repositioning maneuvers
  • Dizziness associated with neck pain and cervical spine dysfunction
  • Results from a sensory mismatch between neck proprioception and vestibular input
  • Treated with manual therapy and vestibular rehabilitation
  • Can lead to various balance disorders, including post-concussion syndrome
  • May trigger conditions like PPPD or exacerbate existing vestibular issues
  • Requires a multidisciplinary approach for diagnosis and treatment
  • Episodic vertigo associated with migraine symptoms
  • Often misdiagnosed due to variable presentation
  • Managed with migraine prevention strategies and vestibular therapy

Vestibular rehabilitation

care tailored to you

At Norcal Brain Center, we transform dizziness treatment by moving away from the outdated one-size-fits-all approach. Our method is based on the recognition that dizziness is a complex, personal experience that requires customized solutions.

Why standard Protocals fail

Generic treatment plans for dizziness frequently overlook the unique underlying causes that contribute to this condition. Traditional, cookie-cutter approaches to treatment can have several downsides, such as:

  • Everyone gets the same set of exercises and does not take into account individual pathology
  • Frustrated patients due to limited improvement and residual symptoms.
  • Treatments can exacerbate symptoms by failing to address underlying causes.

Our precision-driven Approach

    1. Comprehensive Initial Evaluation
    2. Customized Rehabilitation Strategies
      • Tailored vestibular exercises
      • Advanced vestibular treatment options 
      • Holistic approach on other neurological symptoms and the effects on the Vestibular system

Best Decision I’ve every Made

Last year I was in a car accident, but it was only a minor fender-bender. I was fine for a few months but I noticed my vision started getting blurry and I was getting weird dizziness spells and headaches. After one particular bad spell I decided to seek some help. A friend of mine recommended Dr. Minh. After an initial consultation, I decided to sign up for the exam. This was the best decision I’ve ever made. The whole time, Dr. Minh was extremely thorough and could figure out exactly what areas of my brain weren’t working properly, and causing my dizziness. After the first visit I came out of the office feeling 40% better. A month later, I’m glad to say that I’m almost 100% normal. If you have any dizziness problems, don’t hesitate to go see Dr. Minh.
