Find Your Balance Again.
Dizziness and vertigo are neurological problems with neurological solutions.
Common Symptoms
- Spinning sensations or feeling like the room is moving
- Unsteadiness or difficulty walking in a straight line
- Dizziness triggered by head movements or position changes
- Nausea associated with movement or visual stimulation
- Difficulty focusing visually during head movement
- A persistent sense of imbalance or rocking even when still
How SPN Can Help
Dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders arise from dysfunction in the vestibular system, the cerebellum, or the integration pathways between the inner ear, eyes, and brain. Standard medical approaches often stop at diagnosing the type of vertigo without addressing the underlying neurological dysfunction. Our Simplified Practical Neurology approach goes deeper, identifying exactly where in the vestibular-cerebellar network the breakdown is occurring.
Through detailed neurological examination and NeuralChek assessment, we evaluate vestibular function, oculomotor control, cerebellar coordination, and proprioceptive integration. This allows us to pinpoint the specific areas of neurological weakness driving your symptoms and develop a targeted rehabilitation plan.
Treatment involves specific vestibular rehabilitation exercises, oculomotor training, and balance retraining protocols designed to strengthen the underperforming neurological pathways. We may also incorporate BrainTap for cerebellar entrainment and vagus nerve stimulation to support autonomic regulation, which is often disrupted in patients with chronic vestibular conditions.
Technologies We Use for Dizziness, Vertigo & Balance
BrainTap
BrainTap is a guided brainwave entrainment system that uses light and sound frequencies to rebalance brainwave patterns across the five key ranges — Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma. A healthy brain maintains balanced activity across all five (Alpha 20–30%, Beta ~40%, Gamma 5–10%, Theta below 20%, Delta below 10%). Chronic stress, trauma, poor sleep, and EMF exposure can push these patterns out of range, leading to disrupted neural activity. As the light and sound frequencies change, so does the frequency in the brain — boosting serotonin, beta-endorphins, and norepinephrine to restore balance.
Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS)
Vagus Nerve Stimulation activates the body's longest cranial nerve, which serves as the primary communication highway between the brain and the gut, heart, and immune system. By stimulating the vagus nerve, we engage the parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) branch of the autonomic nervous system. This helps shift the body out of chronic fight-or-flight mode and into a state conducive to healing.
NeuralChek Assessment
NeuralChek by BrainTap is a Regulatory Systems Baseline Evaluation that provides an objective snapshot of how actively your nervous system is working to maintain balance. A 5-minute scan measures autonomic vs. central nervous system activation (which is driving the body), stress indexing (how hard your system is working to maintain balance), an accelerated aging indicator (your actual age compared to your stress-adjusted age category), and energy and metabolism markers (anabolic vs. catabolic balance). Easy-to-understand charts let you see exactly where your system is functioning well and where it needs support, with side-by-side comparisons between visits to measure real progress.
Microcurrent Therapy
Microcurrent therapy delivers extremely low-level electrical currents (millionths of an ampere) that mirror the body's own bioelectrical signals. These sub-sensory currents stimulate cellular repair processes, increase ATP production, and reduce inflammation at the tissue level. Patients typically feel nothing during the treatment, yet the cellular effects are significant.
