Common Questions​
Will I Feel Dizzy After The Assessment?
It is not uncommon to feel a bit off for the rest of the day; but some clients may not have any symptoms following assessments.
Should Someone Come With Me To My Assessment?
If you are attending for dizziness, then, it is a good idea to bring someone with you. You may feel a bit "off" after your assessment and it is good to have someone to drive you home.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
This depends on the cause. With BPPV (most common inner ear cause of dizziness), typically within 3 treatments symptoms are resolved. If symptoms are arising from a neurological condition (stroke, concussion), then follow ups typically occur over a period of months.
