Understanding Dizziness
Causes & Symptoms
Dizziness is more than a fleeting sensation. It can be a sign of underlying neurological or inner-ear issues that deserve expert attention. At NWI, we explore a wide range of root causes, including:
- Vestibular neuritis
- Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)
- Post-concussion syndrome
- Functional neurological disorder
- Migraines and metabolic imbalances
Symptoms can include lightheadedness, imbalance, visual disturbances, nausea, and more. For retirees, symptoms may present more subtly, like chronic instability or fatigue. Athletes, by contrast, may notice dizziness following sport-related trauma or rapid head movements.
If you’ve been battling ongoing dizziness, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to settle for limited answers. The Neurologic Wellness Institute (NWI) in Boca Raton offers a new path forward. Our functional neurologists specialize in identifying and treating chronic dizziness through advanced diagnostic techniques and holistic, non-invasive therapy. Located at 7700 W Camino Real, Suite 320, our Boca clinic delivers science-backed care that blends local support with global standards.
We go beyond surface-level relief. Using neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to adapt and rewire, we help restore stability, comfort, and quality of life. Whether you’re recovering from a head injury, managing a vestibular disorder, or living with a functional neurological condition, our care is personalized, precise, and rooted in deep clinical expertise.
Red-Flag Symptoms Requiring Immediate Attention
- Sudden, unexplained fainting
- Slurred speech or facial drooping
- Acute vision changes
- Chest pain or severe headaches
- Uncontrolled vomiting
If you experience any of the above, seek immediate medical care.
At NWI, our multi-system exam provides more clarity than standard imaging. Using specialized tools, we assess oculomotor responses, postural control, balance, and sensory integration to pinpoint the precise source of your dizziness.
Choosing the Right Functional Neurologist in Boca Raton
Not all dizziness doctors have the same training. At The Neurologic Wellness Institute, our physicians hold board certifications in functional and chiropractic neurology and receive advanced post-doctorate training in neuro-rehabilitation. Our team is also deeply experienced in managing complex balance disorders that haven’t responded to conventional care.
When selecting a specialist, consider the following:
- Are they certified in functional neurology?
- Do they offer vestibular rehabilitation?
- What is their experience with chronic dizziness or vertigo?
- How do they track patient outcomes?
It’s also wise to ask whether the clinic uses objective diagnostic tools and if the team provides comprehensive care under one roof. A multidisciplinary approach often leads to faster and more sustainable results.
NWI Boca Raton consistently receives 5-star reviews from patients who previously felt hopeless. According to recent testimonials, our tailored treatment plans and supportive clinical team are major reasons for client success. We prioritize comfort, education, and collaboration to help every patient feel empowered on their recovery journey.

Comprehensive Dizziness Management—Evaluation & Treatment
We begin with a 3-hour functional diagnostic evaluation that includes:
- VOG/VNG (digital eye movement recording)
- Computerized dynamic posturography (balance testing)
- QEEG brain map (brain wave analysis)
- Computerized neurocognitive evaluation
- Hand-eye coordination testing
- Thorough neurological and physical examination
- Review of vestibular/audiologic lab tests and blood work
Once we understand how your brain, body, and sensory systems interact, we build a customized treatment plan. Your plan may include:
- Vestibular rehabilitation
- Self-directed eye-head exercises
- Balance and gait training
- Coordination exercises
- Neuromuscular therapies
- Neurofeedback
- Canalith repositioning/liberatory maneuver desensitization
- Nutritional and lifestyle recommendations
All clinicians at NWI have advanced training in dizziness treatment and vestibular rehabilitation. For out-of-state patients or seasonal residents, we offer follow-up tele-visits to ensure consistency and track your progress. This hybrid model allows for long-term care without constant in-office visits.
Living with Dizziness—Prevention & Daily Management
Dizziness doesn’t need to control your life. Here are several tactics we recommend to reduce dizzy episodes and improve daily stability:
- Stay hydrated: Dehydration is a common trigger.
- Limit migraine-inducing foods: A low-histamine, anti-inflammatory diet may help.
- Use guided head-turn exercises: These should be prescribed, not self-initiated.
- Reduce stress: Anxiety amplifies imbalance. Try diaphragmatic breathing and heart rate variability training.
In addition to these core strategies, we often encourage clients to maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid sudden position changes, and incorporate gentle physical activity such as tai chi or walking. These actions help reinforce spatial orientation and enhance the brain’s adaptive responses. For individuals dealing with migraine-related dizziness, minimizing screen time and exposure to bright lights can also significantly reduce episodes.
Many patients benefit from using grounding techniques, such as focusing on tactile sensations or controlled movement, to anchor themselves during disorienting episodes. Others find success with structured vestibular therapy homework and consistent check-ins with their care team. Over time, these personalized habits can play a pivotal role in reducing flare-ups and regaining confidence in daily routines.
Each of these tools helps regulate the vestibular system and promote resilience over time.
