Functional Neurology for Vertigo and Dizziness: Restoring Balance and Stability Through Targeted Brain and Vestibular Rehabilitation
Vertigo and dizziness are common yet complex neurological symptoms that can significantly impair quality of life. These symptoms often result from dysfunctions in the vestibular system, brainstem, cerebellum, or their neural connections, affecting spatial orientation, balance, and gaze stability. At our clinic, we utilize advanced functional neurology evaluations and vestibular rehabilitation to pinpoint the root causes of vertigo and dizziness, delivering personalized, evidence-based therapies that restore equilibrium and improve daily function.
At Diagnostic Health & Injury, we specialize in retraining the brain and sensory systems to regain stable balance and reduce dizziness.
Understanding Vertigo and Dizziness: Complex Neural and Sensory Integration Disorders
Vertigo involves the false sensation of spinning or motion, while dizziness may include imbalance, lightheadedness, or disorientation. These symptoms commonly arise from the following:
- Peripheral vestibular dysfunction (e.g., benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, vestibular neuritis)
- Central vestibular disorders affecting the brainstem or cerebellum
- Impaired vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) leading to blurred vision and gaze instability
- Autonomic dysregulation contributing to orthostatic dizziness and imbalance
- Multisensory integration deficits disrupting coordination between visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive inputs
Comprehensive Functional Neurology Assessment
Our in-depth diagnostic protocol includes the following:
- Video Oculography (VOG)
Precisely measures eye movements, nystagmus, and vestibulo-ocular reflex function to identify vestibular deficits. - Quantitative EEG (qEEG)
Detects central nervous system dysfunction and brainwave abnormalities related to dizziness and balance disorders. - Posturography and Gait Analysis
Assesses balance control, weight distribution, and gait stability. - Autonomic Nervous System Testing
Evaluates heart rate variability and blood pressure regulation to identify autonomic contributions to dizziness. - Sensory Integration and Proprioceptive Testing
Measures the coordination of sensory inputs essential for balance.
Functional Neurology Treatment: Retraining Balance and Reducing Dizziness
Our targeted treatment protocols focus on the following:
- Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT)
Customized exercises to improve vestibulo-ocular reflex function, gaze stabilization, and spatial orientation. - Neuromodulation and Brainwave Training
Neurofeedback and neuromodulatory techniques restore normal brain activity patterns supporting balance and sensory integration. - Sensory-Motor Integration Therapy
Enhances coordination between visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive systems to stabilize posture and movement. - Autonomic Regulation Therapy
Biofeedback and breathing techniques optimize autonomic nervous system function, reducing orthostatic symptoms. - Gait and Postural Training
Strengthens motor control and balance strategies to prevent falls and improve mobility.
Why Functional Neurology for Vertigo and Dizziness?
While many treatments address symptoms, functional neurology seeks to identify and correct the underlying neurological dysfunctions by the following:
✔ Utilizing objective diagnostic tools for precise localization of vestibular and central deficits
✔ Delivering individualized, drug-free rehabilitation protocols
✔ Promoting neuroplasticity and sensory integration for lasting symptom relief
✔ Supporting comprehensive recovery for balance and spatial orientation
