Balance Disorder Therapy In Calabasas

Balance Disorder Therapy Calabasas

Feeling unsteady on your feet can affect every part of life from the simple joy of walking the dog around Old Town Calabasas to driving on the 101. At California Brain & Spine Institute, our Balance Disorder Therapy Calabasas program delivers evidence-based, completely non-surgical evaluations and treatments designed to restore stability, confidence, and quality of life.

When standard balance drills stall or new red-flag symptoms appear, our on-site Dizziness Specialist Calabasas can re-evaluate the vestibular system and fine-tune your treatment plan.

Symptoms Overview

What a Balance Disorder Feels Like

Balance disorders rarely present the same way in every patient. You might notice:

• Recurrent dizziness or “room-spinning” vertigo

• A floating sensation, especially when walking in low light

• Sudden falls, veering while driving, or bumping into doorframes

• Nausea, motion sensitivity, blurred vision, or difficulty focusing

• Anxiety or exhaustion from constantly “steadying” yourself

If any of these resonate, you are not alone. National data show that 35.4 % of U.S. adults over 40 some 69 million people live with measurable balance dysfunction. Among children, the rate is about 5 % each year, proving balance problems are not limited to aging.

When to Seek Professional Help

Occasional light-headedness after standing quickly can be benign. However, consistent imbalance lasting more than a week, worsening over time, or accompanied by ringing in the ears, hearing changes, headaches, or falls warrants prompt, specialized evaluation.

Real Progress in Balance and Coordination

Watch a real patient experience immediate improvement during targeted vestibular and neurological care. Our approach helps restore stability, orientation, and confidence by identifying the exact neural pathways involved in dizziness.

Why Choose Non-Surgical Care

Traditional ENT surgery is reserved for a minority of structural inner-ear conditions. The overwhelming majority of balance issues respond best to conservative, non-invasive therapy. In fact, 70 % + of adults with moderate to severe dizziness improve after seeing a vestibular specialist Health.gov. Non-surgical care:

• Targets the root cause vestibular, neurological, metabolic, or musculoskeletal without the risks of anesthesia

• Allows you to keep working or studying while in therapy

• Adapts to your progress through data-driven re-assessments

• Integrates seamlessly with lifestyle, nutrition, and mental-health strategies for whole-person recovery

Our board-certified neurologists, chiropractic neurologists, and physical therapists collaborate to tailor each Balance Disorder Therapy Calabasas plan to the exact sensory, motor, and cognitive needs of every patient we serve in Calabasas, Woodland Hills, and the greater West Valley.

Our Treatment Protocols

1. Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT)

Using gaze-stabilization drills, habituation exercises, and virtual-reality platforms, VRT systematically retrains the brain to interpret inner-ear signals correctly. Meta-analyses confirm moderate to high efficacy of VRT in improving balance and gait across neurological diagnoses.

2. Neurofeedback & Neuromodulation

For patients whose imbalance is linked to post-concussion or migraine circuitry, we employ FDA-cleared qEEG-guided neurofeedback and gentle transcranial stimulation. These modalities optimize cortical networks that coordinate visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive input.

3. Precision Balance Training

Our on-site sensorimotor gym features dynamic posturography plates, foam surfaces, and motion-capture systems. Exercises progress from eyes-open stance to dual-task challenges (e.g., turning the head while solving simple math problems) that replicate real-world environments like The Commons at Calabasas.

4. Nutrition & Metabolic Counseling

Deficits in vitamin D, B-complex, or chronic low-grade inflammation can magnify vertigo frequency. Registered dietitians develop anti-inflammatory meal plans and hydration schedules that support vestibular healing.

5. Cognitive-Behavioral & Fall-Prevention Education

Fear of falling can perpetuate dizziness. Our psychologists teach coping strategies while physical therapists conduct home-safety walk-throughs, ensuring loose rugs or dim hallway lights no longer threaten your stability.

Each element of Balance Disorder Therapy Calabasas is scalable: sessions can be intensive (daily for one week) or spread weekly, depending on your schedule and symptom severity.

Patient Success Stories

“I went from clinging to the handrail on the Calabasas Stairs to running them in three months without surgery, just the Institute’s vestibular rehab.”  “Samantha L.”, age 48

“After a mild concussion, grocery-store aisles made me spin. The neurofeedback protocols rewired my brain I’m back at Pepperdine finishing my degree.”  “Joshua P.”, age 22

“My father stopped driving after two falls. Six weeks of tailored balance training later, he’s walking the dog every morning along Mulholland Hwy.”  “Linda C.”, caregiver

Their journeys echo our clinic’s mantra: steady progress, science-guided.

FAQs

1. How many sessions will I need?
   Most patients feel measurable improvement within 6–8 sessions. Complex neurological cases may require 12 + visits, followed by monthly tune-ups.
2. Is therapy painful?
   No. Exercises may provoke mild dizziness at first, but intensity is carefully titrated to avoid distress while still stimulating neural adaptation.
3. Can children participate?
   Absolutely. Pediatric protocols are modified for developmental stage. Research suggests VRT is effective in post-concussion youth populations.
4. What if I’ve tried PT elsewhere?
   We use advanced diagnostics videonystagmography, computerized dynamic posturography, and qEEG so we can identify subtleties standard clinics miss and refresh stalled progress.
