If you’ve searched “physical therapy for vertigo near me” and still haven’t found lasting relief, you’re not alone.
Vertigo is one of the most disorienting and uncomfortable conditions—often misunderstood or mistreated. One day you’re fine, the next, the floor feels like it’s moving and your body refuses to cooperate.
At The Neural Connection, we treat vertigo differently—by figuring out what’s really causing it, then targeting the right therapy.
Spinning sensation or imbalance
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Nausea or vomiting
Blurred vision
Tinnitus (ringing in ears)
Trouble focusing or walking steadily
These symptoms may be constant—or triggered by movement, visual stimuli, or even stress. That’s why physical therapy for vertigo must be matched to your exact cause.
There are two main types of vertigo, and they require different treatment paths:
Caused by issues in the vestibular organ (inner ear).
Includes:
BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo)
Vestibular neuritis
Meniere’s disease
Best treated with: Vestibular physical therapy (canalith repositioning, balance rehab).
Caused by dysfunction in the brain, neck, vision, or autonomic system.
Includes:
Cervicogenic dizziness
Visually-induced vertigo
Post-concussion or whiplash-related dizziness
Best treated with: Functional neurology + central vestibular rehab.
At The Neural Connection, we’re trained to assess and treat both—and identify what systems aren’t working together.
Most clinics treat vertigo in isolation. But if dizziness is coming from multiple systems—and they’re only treating one—you’re left spinning your wheels.
We use a multisystem assessment to guide real recovery. Our approach is designed for people who:
Have tried PT or ENT therapy without results
Experience dizziness with movement, screens, or crowds
Also struggle with headaches, neck pain, or brain fog
Feel let down by one-size-fits-all answers

Let’s pinpoint what’s really going on—and map your clearest path to relief.
Q: What is vertigo and why does it happen?
Vertigo is the sensation that you or your surroundings are spinning, tilting, or moving when they’re not.
It often comes from issues in the inner ear or vestibular system, which controls balance and spatial orientation.
Problems with neck movement, vision, or the brain’s ability to process balance signals can also trigger vertigo.
Q: How does physical therapy help with vertigo?
Vertigo-focused physical therapy—also called vestibular rehabilitation—helps retrain your brain and inner ear to work together again.
Through targeted movements, balance exercises, and customized treatment strategies, you can reduce dizziness, improve stability, and return to normal activities with more confidence.
Q: What types of vertigo can physical therapy treat?
We treat BPPV, vestibular neuritis, chronic dizziness, concussion-related dizziness, cervicogenic dizziness (neck-related), and motion sensitivity. Each condition requires different corrective strategies, which is why an expert evaluation is essential.
Q: What happens during an evaluation for vertigo or dizziness?
Your visit includes assessment of your eye movements, balance, gait, inner ear function, neck motion, and vestibular reflexes.
We also identify triggers—like rolling in bed, turning your head quickly, or standing up—that contribute to your symptoms. This allows us to create a customized treatment plan.
Q: What is BPPV and how is it treated?
BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) happens when tiny crystals in the inner ear move into the wrong canal.
It causes sudden spinning when you roll over, look up, lie down, or bend forward. BPPV is often treated with repositioning maneuvers that guide these crystals back into place and can provide rapid relief.
Q: Can vertigo come from the neck?
Yes. Whiplash injuries, poor posture, muscle tension, or restricted neck movement can disrupt how your body senses position and balance.
This can cause dizziness, unsteadiness, or visual tracking problems. A neurological and cervical assessment helps determine if the neck is contributing to your symptoms.
Q: What if my vertigo is related to a concussion?
Concussions can disrupt the vestibular system, leading to dizziness, nausea, sensitivity to motion, fogginess, and balance problems.
Vestibular physical therapy helps restore normal sensory processing so you can feel more stable and reduce symptoms that persist after a concussion.
Q: Is vestibular therapy safe if I feel very dizzy?
Yes. Exercises are carefully tailored to your current tolerance and adjusted at a pace that supports healing without overwhelming your system. The goal is steady, safe improvement—not pushing too hard.
Q: How do I know if I should see a vertigo specialist?
You should seek treatment if dizziness affects your daily life, keeps you from driving or working, shows up with head movements, or feels like the room is spinning.
If symptoms persist longer than a few days—or keep returning—a vestibular specialist can help identify what’s causing your vertigo.
Q: How do I schedule a vertigo physical therapy appointment?
You can schedule online or by phone. Bringing information about when your dizziness started, what movements trigger it, and any related injuries helps us create a precise and effective plan.
