Vertigo & Dizziness

Finally Understand Why You Feel Unsteady — And What Can Be Done to Fix It

Dizziness and vertigo are among the most common — and most frustrating — neurological symptoms.
They can appear suddenly or gradually, and they often leave people feeling:

  • Off balance

  • Motion-sensitive

  • Foggy or “detached”

  • Unsteady while walking

  • Overwhelmed in busy environments

  • Afraid to drive

  • Worried something serious is wrong

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
And most importantly: you’re not imagining it.

These symptoms are real, and they always have a neurological cause — even if your tests came back “normal.”

Why Most Vertigo / Dizziness Patients Struggle to Get Answers

Dizziness is often a functional problem, not a structural one.

It’s caused by communication errors between:

  • Your vestibular system (balance organs)

  • Your eyes (tracking, gaze stability, visual motion processing)

  • Your cervical spine (neck proprioception)

  • Your brainstem & cerebellum (coordination and timing)

  • Your autonomic system (blood pressure, heart rate, breathing)

  • Your environment (motion, visual complexity, sensory input)

When any of these systems fall out of sync, your brain can no longer accurately interpret movement or position.

The result?
Dizziness, vertigo, imbalance, motion sensitivity, and brain-fog.

This is exactly what we specialize in.

Traditional care often misses the root cause of dizziness because it focuses on structure:

  • CT / MRI looks for major abnormalities

  • ENT checks the inner ear

  • Neurology looks for red flags

  • PT screens balance

  • Chiropractic looks at the neck

These are valuable — but they leave out the most important part:

Non-Medication Treatment for Neuropathy & Nerve Pain Is Available in Carmel, IN

At Nexus Neuro, we treat the full spectrum of dizziness presentations:

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)

Spinning sensations triggered by head movements; often missed or misdiagnosed.

Vestibular Neuritis / Labyrinthitis

Sudden severe vertigo followed by lingering imbalance or motion sensitivity.

Chronic Dizziness / Rocking Sensation

Lingering imbalance long after the original episode.

Motion Sensitivity

Symptoms in cars, stores, crowds, or while scrolling.

“Floating,” “Bobbling,” or “Swaying” sensations

Often from vestibular-visual mismatch.

Post-Concussion Dizziness

Cervical, vestibular, and visual pathways disrupted simultaneously.

PPPD (Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness)

Dizziness triggered by motion, visual patterns, or busy environments.

“My head feels weird / foggy / off.”

Sensory integration issues — extremely common.

Whatever the label, the root cause is always neurological, and always identifiable with proper testing.

How We Diagnose Vertigo & Dizziness at Nexus Neuro

This is where we excel — and where most clinics fall short.

We use the NeuroAI platform combined with DX200 VOG/VNG ocular-motor analysis to examine:

Gaze stability

Smooth pursuits

Saccades

Vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR)

Optokinetics

Head impulse responses

Spatial disorientation patterns

Visual motion intolerance

Vestibular catch-up saccades

Cervical-vestibular contributions

Autonomic involvement

This technology reveals abnormalities in milliseconds, something that cannot be seen with the naked eye — and cannot be found on MRI or CT scans.
In other words: we identify what everyone else misses.

Why Vertigo Happens — Explained Simply

Dizziness isn’t random.
It happens when your brain receives conflicting signals about where your body is in space.

For example:

  • Your inner ear says you're moving

  • Your eyes say you're still

  • Your neck signals don’t match either one

  • Your brainstem can’t integrate it

  • Your autonomic system overreacts

Your nervous system chooses the safest response:

❗ “Shut it down” — dizziness, fog, nausea, imbalance.

But with the right testing, we can identify which system is out of sync, and more importantly, how to fix it.

How We Treat Vertigo & Dizziness

Once your diagnostic data reveals the source of your symptoms, we design an individualized neurological rehabilitation plan, which may include:

Vestibular Rehab (VOR Training)

Strengthening the reflex that stabilizes your world while you move.

Oculomotor Training

Improving tracking, focus, and visual-vestibular coordination.

Cervical Proprioceptive Rehab

Correcting neck-driven dizziness and sensory mismatch.

Balance & Postural Integration

Re-training cerebellar pathways for stability and confidence.

Visual Motion Desensitization

Rebuilding tolerance to screens, driving, crowds, and movement.

Autonomic Regulation Therapy

Stabilizing heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure responses during triggers.

BPPV Canalith Repositioning

Performed with precision diagnostics to ensure proper resolution.

Neuromodulation & Restorative Therapies

SoftWave, red-light, and sensory-based neuro-activation to enhance adaptation.

Every plan is:

Data-driven

Customized

Progressively built

Adjusted based on objective results

This is not generic PT or “dizzy exercises.”
This is precision vestibular, visual, cervical, and autonomic rehab.

Signs You’re a Good Candidate for Our Program

You may benefit from our evaluation if you:

  • Feel unsteady or off balance

  • Have dizziness that comes and goes

  • Get worse in visual environments

  • Feel “off” when scrolling or watching movement

  • Can’t tolerate quick head turns

  • Have headaches or pressure with dizziness

  • Experience brain-fog with balance issues

  • Had a concussion with lingering symptoms

  • Are avoiding driving

  • Feel dizzy when lying down or rolling over

  • Have dizziness with neck pain

  • Feel “not like yourself”

If your dizziness hasn’t gone away, there is a reason — and we can find it.

Our exclusive neuropathy treatment systems increase blood flow to the nerves in the feet and/or hands, which helps to rejuvenate nerves naturally and has returned many of our patient’s feet and/or hands to normal (see testimonials below). No surgery. No addictive medications.

Our proprietary and comprehensive treatment programs utilize up to 8 different state-of-the-art technologies and are unlike any treatment program you may have already experienced.

There Are 4 Vital Components to Our Neuropathy Protocol

  1. Electromagnetic Infrared Therapy
This is NOT red light therapy. One of the treatment technologies we use in our Indianapolis Neuropathy clinic is designed to increase blood flow and repair the nerve is our new Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT). This must be conducted at 890nm. The light therapy signals Vasoendothelial Growth (VEGF), which signals the production of angiogenesis. Angiogenesis is the creation of new blood vessels, which are needed to repair nerve damage. These blood vessels grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. This technology has 21 peer-reviewed studies with a 97% success rate with peripheral neuropathy.
  1. Electrostimulation
We use state-of-the-art digital electro-therapeutic stimulation to assist in the growth of the nerves called Nerve Re-Education. This is used by the Cancer Centers of America in order to help those going through Chemotherapy rebuild the nerves. Nerve Re-Education can even be done at home, so therapy can be done daily! The results can be immediate in both pain relief and restoration of normal sensation.
  1. Advanced Nutrition Therapy

Proper nutrition in support of our other Vital Components is vital for optimal tissue and nerve repair. Our Advanced Nutritional Therapies have been designed to accelerate the healing process by affecting the complex processes of inflammation, blood flow, and bioavailable nitric oxide.

  1. In-Clinic Visits Online Education

Our neuropathy physicians provide in-clinic treatments for nerve pain and other related peripheral neuropathy symptoms in synergy with your home infrared electromagnetic electrostimulation therapy (for those that qualify). The Carmel, IN neuropathy clinic treatments may include the following:

  • SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology
  • Class IV Laser Therapy
  • BEMER Pulsed Electromagnetic Frequency (PEMF)
  • Whole Body Vibration Therapy ranging 10Hz-60Hz
  • Spinal Decompression

Each vital component is equally important for patient results.

Nerve cells need two things to heal…

  • Fuel
  • Activation

This makes the combination of high-powered lower-level light therapy & nutrition (FUEL) and Nerve Re-Education (ACTIVATION) the perfect 1-2 punch for nerve regeneration!

The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation.
