Feeling Dizzy, Off-Balance, or Unsteady?
If you’ve ever felt like the room was spinning, experienced dizziness when turning your head, felt unsteady while walking, or struggled with balance, you’re not alone.
Dizziness and balance disorders can significantly affect your quality of life, making everyday activities such as walking, driving, shopping, exercising, or even getting out of bed feel challenging.
At Kickstart Physical Therapy, we provide specialized vestibular rehabilitation to help individuals improve balance, reduce dizziness, and regain confidence in their daily lives.
What Is Vertigo?
Vertigo is a specific type of dizziness that creates the sensation that you or your surroundings are moving or spinning when no actual movement is occurring.
Vertigo is a symptom, not a diagnosis. It can occur for many reasons and often requires a comprehensive evaluation to determine the underlying cause.
