Vertigo/Dizziness or BPPVin multiple locations in Wisconsin, with an additional location in Western Pennsylvania.

Bring stability back into your daily life with our Vertigo and BPPV therapy.

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BBPV) is one of the most common causes of dizziness. At Health In Motion, we can test for this by moving the head in certain directions and looking for nystagmus (rapid involuntary movement of the eye). When we see nystagmus it allows us to determine which ear and which canal is involved. From there we can treat the problem by moving the head in certain directions to get the otoconia (ear crystals or debris) to fall back where they belong.

Most dizziness is caused by a problem in the inner ear. Most types of dizziness are commonly treated within 1-2 sessions.

Vertigo treatments include:

If your vertigo can be improved by exercise, we’ll guide you through a program to reduce your symptoms. The goal is to gradually introduce movement to allow your body to accommodate without dizziness. Neck mobility exercises, balance exercises, and general head, neck, and eye movements are typically incorporated to decrease spinning sensations. Your therapist may also assign neck and upper extremity strengthening and stretching exercises.

If you have BPPV, your physical therapist will teach you specific whole-body maneuvers to improve the signal from your brain to the inner ear and improve your symptoms quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • A physical therapy visit lasts about 40-60 minutes. The actual contents of the visit vary based on your diagnosis/need, but typically what happens is:

    1. You check in with the receptionist and we discuss your health insurance benefits with you.
    2. You go into a room for initial evaluation. We discuss what is going on, where the pain is coming from, and how the pain has been since the last visit or before your first visit.
    3. You go into the gym. You can change clothes if you need to, then begin therapy.
    4. You perform exercises and stretches which may include therapeutic band exercises, light body weight exercises, or minimal weights. The stretches will promote strength, stability, improved range of motion, and pain relief.
    5. We can initiate other techniques to include spinal manipulation, joint mobilization, taping, cupping, dry needling and the Neubie as needed.
    6. The therapist makes recommendations based on your progress. These can include altering the frequency of visits, make any appointments necessary, making additions/alterations to your home exercise plan, or things to do before your next visit.

  • We recommend budgeting 40-60 minutes for a typical therapy session. The only exception to this will be your first visit, which can take about 20 minutes longer due to the physical therapy evaluation your therapist will provide. We also recommend showing up about 10-15 minutes early to your first visit. This way, you can complete the paperwork before your visit time and streamline the process.

  • Physical therapy should not be severely painful. It is not common to be so sore that patients are in pain or it affects their daily life. If this ever happens during or after an appointment, let us know and we will adapt your program.

  • During your initial evaluation, your therapist may ask you a number of questions to determine what the cause of your pain is. This can include questions about your sleep habits, activity level, and work environment. They will also ask for a medical history, and then typically ask direct questions about where and when you experience pain.
