One-on-one evaluation and treatment for dizziness, vertigo, imbalance, and motion-related symptoms.
Request an appointmentDizziness can feel hard to explain. Your care should not be.
The vestibular system works with vision and sensation from the body to help you stay balanced and keep your vision steady while you move. When those systems are not working together well, everyday activities can feel uncertain or exhausting.
Kristen provides focused vestibular rehabilitation for both straightforward and complex presentations. Your evaluation is designed to identify patterns, understand what makes symptoms better or worse, and determine an appropriate plan of care.

What vestibular therapy may include

Targeted movement

A closer look at vestibular care
Vestibular symptoms do not always feel like classic spinning. You may feel as though you are rocking, floating, leaning, or walking on an uneven surface. Grocery stores, scrolling on a phone, turning your head while walking, or moving between light and dark spaces may also trigger discomfort. Understanding when symptoms occur gives the evaluation important context.
Treatment is selected from the findings rather than from the diagnosis alone. Someone with BPPV may need a specific repositioning maneuver, while a person with vestibular hypofunction may benefit from gaze-stability and balance exercises. Persistent motion sensitivity or PPPD may require gradual exposure that helps the nervous system become more comfortable with movement and visually complex environments.
Progress is measured by more than whether dizziness is present. We also consider confidence, walking, tolerance for errands or work, and your ability to return to activities you have been avoiding. Exercises are adjusted as your response changes so the program remains challenging, manageable, and connected to real life.
At your first visit, be ready to describe when the problem began, what the sensation feels like, how long episodes last, and which positions or environments make it worse. Bring any relevant test results, medication information, and a list of questions. Clear details help Kristen use the one-on-one appointment efficiently and select the most appropriate tests.
Because every appointment is one-on-one, there is time to explain unfamiliar symptoms and understand why particular exercises are being recommended. The aim is to leave with a plan that feels specific, understandable, and realistic enough to follow between visits.
Treatment recommendations depend on your individual evaluation and medical history.
