Vertigo Treatment in Wasilla, Alaska
Vertigo and Dizziness are among the most common symptoms causing patients to visit a physician (as common as back pain and headaches). Dizziness, loss of balance, and lightheadedness may be symptoms of vestibular dysfunction. Vertigo is described as the feeling of the body rotating related to space or space rotating around the body. This is different from dizziness, light-headedness or loss of balance that are also related to vestibular dysfunction. Falling can be a direct consequence of dizziness and could lead to serious injury or hospitalization.
The challenge with dizziness is proper testing to determine whether the problems involve the inner ear (vestibular system), neurological system or postural problems affecting balance. Lack of specific diagnosis and treatment may be the reason some dizziness tend to become chronic.

I have never been known to choose the easy path. During my 20+years of military service, I was fortunate enough to be deployed in two combat operations, each while serving in two of our armed forces. As a NCO in the USAF I participated in Operation Desert Shield / Storm. Later, as a commissioned officer in the US Army I participated in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Throughout my military service I learned any obstacle can be overcome.
This privilege of helping others and the blessing of being a skilled provider has inspired me to never settle for less, always striving for more knowledge and clinical skills to help clients achieve results that matter. I love being the one to help you become more confident with movement after a serious injury or surgery. I feel privileged to be your provider, you can share your entire story of how pain has become such a burden in your life. I use my 30 years of clinical experience and extensive education to help you gain a new insight about pain and healing. I firmly believe that pain is a wake up sign, it’s a ‘check engine’ light rather than a real alarm of tissue damage. I love to give clients struggling with pain a reason to try to heal again.
