Our goal is to reduce dizziness, restore stability, and help you move with confidence again.
What Is Vertigo?
Vertigo is a sensation that you or your surroundings are spinning or moving when they are not. It is often related to issues within the inner ear (vestibular system), which helps control balance and spatial awareness.
Common causes of vertigo include:
- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
- Vestibular neuritis
- Labyrinthitis
- Inner ear dysfunction
- Post-concussion symptoms
- Migraine-related vertigo
Common Symptoms
