Dizziness after a concussion can involve more than just feeling “off.” Many people experience motion sensitivity, balance problems, visual discomfort, or difficulty tolerating busy environments after a head injury. These symptoms tend to involve the vestibular system and often improve with the right evaluation and treatment approach.

Third mobile window syndrome refers to a group of inner ear conditions that create an abnormal opening or pressure pathway within the vestibular system. Conditions such as superior canal dehiscence (SCD) and perilymphatic fistula (PLF) can lead to dizziness, sound or pressure sensitivity, imbalance, and unusual auditory symptoms. Understanding these conditions is an important step toward proper diagnosis and treatment.

Autoimmune inner ear disease (AIED) occurs when the body’s immune system mistakenly targets the inner ear, leading to symptoms such as hearing changes, dizziness, or imbalance. These symptoms may develop over time and can fluctuate, making the condition difficult to recognize. Early identification and treatment are important to help protect hearing and improve stability.

Vestibular paroxysmia is a condition that causes brief, repeated episodes of dizziness or vertigo, often lasting seconds to minutes. It is thought to occur when a nearby blood vessel intermittently irritates the vestibular nerve, leading to sudden, unpredictable symptoms. While the episodes are short, they can be disruptive and worrisome; thankfully, effective treatment is often available.

Cervicogenic dizziness is a type of dizziness that originates from the neck, often linked to poor posture, stiffness, or prior injury. It can feel like unsteadiness or lightheadedness, especially with certain head movements or prolonged positions. Understanding the connection between the neck and balance is key to effective treatment and recovery.

Meniere’s Disease can feel overwhelming and isolating, but many patients are able to find some degree of relief with proper management. This blog explores the condition and how vestibular therapy can sometimes help.

If you still feel like you’re rocking or swaying after a cruise or flight, you’re not alone. Mal de Débarquement Syndrome (MdDS) can leave people feeling unsteady long after travel ends. In this article I explain what’s happening and what can help.

Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD) is a common cause of ongoing dizziness, unsteadiness, and motion sensitivity. Learn how PPPD develops, why symptoms persist, and how vestibular therapy can help retrain the brain and restore stability.

Vestibular neuritis is a common cause of vertigo and dizziness that frequently results in an ER visit due to the severity of symptoms. Thankfully, most individuals make a full recovery. Learn how it affects the inner ear and how vestibular therapy in Austin can help relieve the lagging sensation and restore balance and confidence.

Vestibular migraine is one of the most common causes of dizziness and vertigo. Learn how migraine affects the balance system and how vestibular treatment can help people with vestibular migraine regain stability.

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of vertigo. It’s caused by tiny calcium crystals in the inner ear that become displaced, triggering brief but intense spinning sensations with certain head movements—such as rolling over in bed or looking up. Although the symptoms can be unsettling, BPPV is highly treatable with the proper assessment and repositioning maneuvers. Learn more about BPPV, how it is diagnosed, and how vestibular treatment can quickly relieve positional vertigo.
