Is vertigo, dizziness, or poor balance making you feel seasick? Is it affecting your quality of life? The Balance Program can help.

Most people with vertigo or balance problems can improve significantly in 4 to 6 weeks without medication. The cost for the program is covered by most insurance with a doctor’s prescription.

Biofeedback - stress reduction

Biofeedback is a powerful tool that is used to monitor physical and emotional response to stress. Specifically, it teaches us to control and train certain involuntary body responses, such as brain activity, blood pressure, muscle tension, and heart rate so that we can decrease the negative effects of stress and improve our health and well-being.
