Dizziness & Balance Conditions

Dizziness and balance problems can be among the most debilitating conditions a person experiences. They affect your ability to walk safely, drive, work, and perform everyday tasks. Many patients suffer for months or years without proper diagnosis because dizziness has so many potential causes.

At The Back Clinic, our therapists are trained in vestibular rehabilitation — a specialized area of physical therapy focused on the inner ear, balance system, and the neurological pathways that keep you oriented in space. We use specific diagnostic tests to identify the exact cause of your dizziness and apply targeted treatments backed by strong research evidence.

• Vertigo (BPPV) — The most common cause of vertigo, often resolved in one to three treatments
• Vestibular Dysfunction — Inner ear disorders causing dizziness, imbalance, and visual disturbance
• Balance Problems / Fall Risk — Age-related or neurological balance deficits that increase fall risk
• Post-Concussion Dizziness — Persistent dizziness and balance issues following head injury
• Unsteadiness / Motion Sensitivity — Difficulty with head movements, busy visual environments, or position changes

Vestibular rehabilitation requires specialized training and assessment skills that not all physical therapists possess. Our vestibular-trained therapists use infrared goggles and specific positional tests to accurately diagnose the type and location of your vestibular dysfunction.

For BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo), treatment often produces dramatic improvement in just one to three sessions. For other vestibular conditions, our customized rehabilitation programs progressively retrain your balance system to compensate and recover.

Every session is one-on-one with your therapist, ensuring the precise, attentive treatment that vestibular conditions demand. We also work closely with ENTs and neurologists in the area when additional medical workup is needed.
