Dizziness is more common than you might think. In fact, 40% of adults over 65 experience at least one episode of dizziness each year. While most cases are brief and mild, some can be more serious and significantly impact your quality of life and safety.

When Should You Seek Help for Dizziness?

You should see a medical professional if you’re experiencing recurring dizziness, sudden severe episodes, prolonged lightheadedness, or room spinning vertigo that doesn’t go away quickly.

Seek emergency care immediately if your dizziness comes with:

• Sudden or severe headaches
• Chest pain or difficulty breathing
• Double vision or confusion
• Slurred speech
• Numbness or weakness in your arms, legs, or face
• Ongoing vomiting

How Physical Therapy Can Help Your Dizziness

Once serious medical conditions have been ruled out, physical therapy is often the most effective treatment for dizziness and balance disorders. Our specialized vestibular therapy can identify whether your dizziness is coming from your inner ear, neck, or balance system, and provide targeted treatment to resolve it.

Many patients experience significant improvement or complete relief from their dizziness symptoms through our proven treatment techniques. You don’t have to accept dizziness as a normal part of aging or live in fear of falling.
