Dizziness Specialist Calabasas

Dizziness Specialist

Feeling the room spin or worse, feeling like you are spinning can be frightening. At California Brain & Spine Institute, our board-certified neurologists, vestibular therapists, and neuropsychologists have helped thousands reclaim stable, confident lives. As your trusted Dizziness Specialist Calabasas, we focus exclusively on non-surgical diagnostics and evidence-based therapies, giving residents of Calabasas, Agoura Hills, Woodland Hills, and the greater San Fernando Valley a clear path from uncertainty to recovery.

Because chronic vertigo often masks deeper equilibrium problems, many of our patients move seamlessly from their initial evaluation with a Balance Disorder Therapy team into targeted exercises that retrain the inner-ear pathways.

Dizzy Spells Holding You Back? See the Science Behind Real Relief

When “everything looks normal” yet the room still spins, it’s time for a different perspective. In this quick video, Dr. Ali explains how functional neurology uncovers hidden imbalances in your brain’s vestibular pathways and how gentle, neuroplasticity-driven therapies restore true stability. Hit play to find out why patients from across Calabasas trust our center to stop dizziness at its source and get them back on solid ground.

Symptoms Overview When to Seek Help

Persistent dizziness is more than a nuisance; it signals a disruption in the balance network that links your inner ear, eyes, brain, and muscles. Common warning signs include:

• Vertigo: sudden spinning or tilting sensations

• Unsteadiness: feeling off-balance while standing or walking

• Light-headedness or presyncope: a sense you might faint

• Visual blurring or bouncing (oscillopsia): trouble focusing when you move your head

• Nausea or vomiting

• Anxiety, brain “fog,” or fatigue

A 2023 meta-analysis in Neurology showed that vestibular disorders account for roughly 40 % of dizziness complaints in primary care. Early evaluation by a Dizziness Specialist Calabasas reduces the risk of falls, work absenteeism, and progression to chronic vestibular migraine or persistent postural-perceptual dizziness.

Why Choose Non-Surgical Care?

Most balance disorders respond to targeted rehabilitation, not scalpels. Our non-invasive approach offers five distinct advantages:

1. Lower risk profile. No anesthesia, no incision, no overnight hospital stays.

2. Whole-person focus. We rebuild sensory integration vestibular, visual, and proprioceptive rather than masking symptoms with medication alone.

3. Precision diagnostics. Computerized dynamic posturography, video head-impulse tests, and ocular motor analysis pinpoint root causes within a single visit.

4. Faster, measurable progress. Objective metrics track improvement each week, so you and your care team see tangible gains.

5. Cost-efficiency. Avoiding operating-room fees keeps treatment accessible for Calabasas families and neighboring communities.

It’s why athletes with post-concussion dizziness, seniors worried about falls, and busy professionals alike choose Dizziness Specialist Calabasas for safe, science-driven relief.

Our Treatment Protocols

Every plan begins with a 90-minute neuro-vestibular evaluation. From there we combine therapies backed by peer-reviewed research and refined through thousands of patient hours.

Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT)

Individualized head, eye, and body movements retrain brain-ear pathways, improving gaze stability and postural control. Studies show VRT can cut vertigo episodes by up to 70 % within six weeks.

Neurofeedback

Real-time EEG feedback teaches the brain to calm abnormal wave patterns linked to dizziness-provoking anxiety and motion sensitivity. Many patients report steadier concentration and reduced headache frequency after eight sessions.

Vision & Oculomotor Training

If disrupted eye-tracking fuels your imbalance, our therapists use saccadic and smooth-pursuit drills, prisms, and virtual-reality environments to sharpen depth perception and reduce oscillopsia.

Somatosensory Integration Drills

Bare-foot balance tasks on foam, vibration plates, and force platforms strengthen the proprioceptive “backup system” your body uses when vision or vestibular input falters.

Lifestyle & Migraine Management

Dietary triggers, sleep hygiene, hydration, and stress-reduction strategies round out your program because true Dizziness Specialist Calabasas care treats the person, not just the labyrinth.

Patient Success Stories

“I own a Pilates studio in Calabasas. After a minor car accident I felt like I was on a boat 24/7. The team here combined vestibular rehab and neurofeedback, and by the fifth week I was demo-ing reformer moves again without nausea. They’re the real Dizziness Specialist Calabasas heroes.” – Alicia S., 37

“My dad kept grabbing furniture to steady himself. We drove in from Agoura Hills, did the evaluation, and learned it was benign positional vertigo. One canalith repositioning plus home exercises, and he’s now gardening happily.” – Tom R., 52

Stories like these remind us why we practice non-surgical neurology: because restoring balance means restoring freedom.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I know if my dizziness is serious?
   If symptoms last longer than a few minutes, recur over days, or come with headaches, hearing changes, or numbness, schedule an evaluation. A quick consult with a Dizziness Specialist Calabasas rules out serious causes such as stroke.
2. Do I need an MRI or CT scan?
   Only about 10 % of dizzy patients require advanced imaging. Most diagnoses come from bedside maneuvers and vestibular function tests.
3. How long does non-surgical treatment take?
   Simple positional vertigo may resolve in one visit. Complex vestibular migraine or post-concussion cases often need 4–8 weeks of therapy.
4. Can I drive while dizzy?
   If dizziness impairs your ability to focus or react quickly, refrain from driving until cleared by your care team. We provide written guidelines tailored to each case.
