Dizziness and vertigo symptoms can have many different causes, and finding a diagnosis isn't always easy. Those experiencing dizziness often visit multiple providers before finding answers and end up feeling overlooked or misunderstood. If this sounds like you, you've come to the right place.

My goal is to help you discover the root cause of your symptoms, either through a thorough examination or connecting you to the right provider who can assist. I also hope to provide you with the knowledge and tools to fully understand your condition and empower you to take back control.
Dizziness and vertigo symptoms are treatable with vestibular rehabilitation. Vestibular rehab is a powerful tool that can help you control or reduce symptoms and get back to what's important.

Bloom PT can help:

  • If you feel dizzy or disoriented when you roll over in bed, or when getting in and out of bed.

  • If you feel dizzy when turning your head or body, or when moving quickly.

  • If you've been told that your symptoms are all in your head, and there's nothing else that can be done. 

  • If you have trouble shopping or going to grocery stores because of your dizziness. 

  • If your progress has slowed or stopped, but you still feel off. 

  • If you feel that you're missing out or avoiding activities that you once enjoyed or found easy due to symptoms.

  • If you feel unsteady, disoriented, or off when walking or moving around.

  • If you would like to work with an experienced doctor of physical therapy, who is able to take the time to listen to all of your concerns and create an individualized plan to meet your needs.

Infrared video goggles are an integral part of assessment and treatment of vestibular disorders. These goggles block out light and utilize infrared cameras to much better visualize even subtle eye movements and reflexes that provide information about the function of your vestibular system.

Only about 1/3 of eye movement due to vestibular issues are visible in room light. Infrared Video Goggles can reveal critical eye movements that would otherwise be missed.

These are available both in-clinic and during in-home visits.

The rehab arch allows you to safely work on balance, mobility, and functional exercises without the risk of falling. Not only can it act as a safety catch for falls, but it can actually provide unloading when needed. If you experience lower extremity weakness that makes standing and walking difficult, the rehab arch can provide extra support while you work to regain your strength. The rehab arch eliminates the fear and risk of falling, so that you can focus solely on improving your balance and function. This is great for older adults, those with balance issues, or those with neurological disorders.

Bloom Physical Therapy offers a comfortable and sturdy treatment table that not only moves up and down but can tilt in space. This is especially beneficial for those with BPPV who also experience neck or back pain or mobility issues. You no longer need to put your neck in painful or uncomfortable positions in order to perform BPPV treatments (such as the Epley maneuver). The entire table will tilt so that you don’t need to extend your neck.

If you’re having trouble performing BPPV maneuvers (such as the Epley maneuver) due to neck pain or stiffness, a tilt table will allow you to correctly complete the maneuvers and relieve your vertigo symptoms.

Treatment tailored to you

No two individuals with dizziness present exactly the same way. We believe it's imperative to provide individualized care that's evidence based and specifically designed for you. This means that you won't be given a cookie cutter program that leaves you feeling worse. Our one-on-one treatment model allows your therapist to reassess and adjust your plan at any time to meet your needs
