🌀 Vertigo: Not Just a Dizzy Spell

In our clinic, we treat a lot of vertigo cases—and the good news is, it can often be resolved quickly.

Vertigo isn’t the same as dizziness. While dizziness can be caused by things like dehydration, low blood pressure, or illness, vertigo is a vestibular condition that creates the sensation that you or your surroundings are spinning—often when you change head positions.

It happens when tiny crystals in your inner ear move out of place, throwing off your body’s balance system. This can be caused by a head impact, quick movements, or sometimes for no obvious reason at all.

Our Athletic Therapists use specific techniques to help realign those crystals—often bringing relief in just 1–2 sessions.

📅 If you’re feeling off balance, don’t wait it out. Book your appointment today and get your world steady again.

✨ Gentle, effective, and deeply restorative. ✨

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialized, gentle massage technique designed to support your body’s natural lymphatic system. Using soft, rhythmic strokes, MLD helps reduce swelling (edema), boost immune function, and encourage detoxification — perfect for post-op recovery, lymphedema, pregnancy swelling, or general fluid retention.

Each 45-minute session is light and soothing (not deep pressure!) and may include hot and cold therapy to further support circulation and healing.

💡 Important: MLD is not meant for weight loss or body contouring.

If you’re experiencing swelling or fluid buildup and looking for a gentle, therapeutic option that truly supports your body — MLD might be just what you need. 🧡
