OVERVIEW

ABOUT VERTIGO

Vertigo is more than feeling lightheaded. It’s that spinning, tilting sensation that can throw off your whole day. Some people feel it when rolling over in bed. Others get it just by turning their head or walking through a crowded space. Along with the spinning comes nausea, unsteadiness, and the fear of falling.

At Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of Chandler, AZ, we work to figure out what’s behind it. Sometimes it’s the inner ear. Sometimes it’s how the neck and balance system are working together. Once we know the cause, we create a plan just for you. That can mean repositioning maneuvers, balance training, or eye–head coordination drills.

BOOKING APPOINTMENTS

Scheduling is quick. Call Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of Chandler, AZ, or book online. We’ll answer questions ahead of time so you know exactly what to expect.

Recovery takes time. Most patients need several sessions spread out over weeks. Progress builds slowly at first, then more noticeably as your system adapts.

DIAGNOSE

EXAM & IMAGING

We begin by testing balance, posture, and head movement. Certain positions may trigger your vertigo, which helps us identify what’s really happening. The exam is safe and gives us a clear direction.

TREATMENTS

CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM

Treatment depends on the cause. Inner-ear crystals can often be moved back into place with simple guided maneuvers. Balance or gaze training helps retrain the nervous system. At Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of Chandler, AZ, we adapt each session based on your progress.

Christopher M. — Google review

I had an outstanding experience over the past several months at the Chandler location after a meniscus repair surgery. Collin is a top notch Physical Therapist, and he seemed to know exactly how far to push me each week. Thanks to him and all of the incredible assistants, I am now back to 100%. If I ever do get injured again and need PT, I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else but here.

I've been in to see Eric and team many times over the past 5 years for a variety of old athlete ailments and they fix me up every time. I go see them before I go to the Dr now. They are simply the best, and unfortunately I'll probably be back in the future 😁

What Are You Experiencing?

You might not know what treatment you need, as most people don’t. What you do know is that something hurts. That’s enough for us to start. Fill out this quick form and just tell us how it feels. We’ll look it over and reach out to talk through what could be going on and what might help.

  LOW  HIGH  

SEVERE PAIN

If your pain feels like too much to handle, please don’t wait around. Call 911 or get to the nearest hospital. Once the emergency part is taken care of, we’ll be here to help you with longer-term support.

MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT

Maybe it’s not stopping you from getting through the day, but it’s always there feeling sharp, dull, or just plain annoying. Let us know what it feels like. We’ll work with you to figure out why it’s happening and how to make things easier.

MINOR PAINS & ACHES

A little soreness or stiffness might not sound like much, but it can still mess with your day. Those small aches are often your body’s way of saying something needs attention. Tell us what you’ve been noticing, and we’ll help keep it from turning into something worse.

Answering Your Questions

Does vertigo go away on its own?

It can if it’s milder. But for most patients, it continues to exist or reappear over and over again. That’s where therapy comes in as it can hasten recovery and teach your body to process balance better.

Can physical therapy replace medication for vertigo?

In most cases, yes. Therapy addresses causes rather than hiding symptoms, so long-term relief becomes more likely. Certain patients still take medication for short periods, but over time, most outgrow it and do not have to take it anymore.

Will therapy make me dizzy during treatment?

It can briefly, especially with head movement exercises. But that’s part of retraining your balance system. The dizziness usually lessens as sessions go on. Over time, your balance system adapts, and everyday movements feel steadier again.

Is therapy safe if I’ve fallen before?

Yes. In fact, it’s especially worthwhile. We customize exercises to be safe and also provide balance training to reduce your likelihood of future falls.

What if my vertigo is linked to another condition?

Vertigo can be linked to other issues such as migraine, disorder of the inner ear, or neck disorder. If this seems to be the root cause, we will consult your doctor as needed. Provided vertigo aligns with another condition, treatment can usually recover balance and reduce spinning attacks.

MODERN PHYSICAL THERAPY & SPORTS MEDICINE
CEO

"When an athlete gets injured, a team of doctors and therapists evaluates them, orders imaging, and decides the best path forward. If surgery is needed, they go straight to surgery; if not, they get condition-specific physical therapy and targeted injections to speed healing. This is the same process pro athletes use to get back on the field quickly—and at Modern, you can access that same level of care for the same cost as any other physical therapy clinic."   - Josh Adams
