Dr. Spiegel's Balance & Fall Prevention Program
Do you suffer from recurring bouts of dizziness or a feeling of unsteadiness on your feet?
Is the fear of falling making you a prisoner in your own home, leaving you unable to work or take care of yourself and your family?
Perhaps you’ve already been to a doctor but were told that poor balance is a natural and untreatable part of getting older? Or worse, you’ve been told that your “dizzy spells” are all in your head!
Maybe out of sheer frustration over the thought of having to just live with the problem, you’ve resorted to over the counter, even prescription medications, but your dizzy spells and loss of balance persists?
Well, if you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, you are not alone! In fact, more than two million people per year visit their doctors with these same frustrations, making symptoms of dizziness, vertigo (a sensation of spinning) or loss of balance the leading patient complaints, second only to lower back pain, that cause them to visit their primary care physician.
Furthermore, it is also one of the most common causes of falls in the elderly population resulting in traumatic injuries, with hip fractures being the leading fall related injury!
Unfortunately, a vast majority of people suffering from the symptoms of dizziness or loss of balance are not aware of the help that is available and think there is nothing more that can be done when medication fails. In fact, even your family physician may also be unaware of the latest diagnostic and treatment procedures that are now available!
Well, don’t give up hope! Medical research has not only proven that dizziness and problems relating to balance are not imaginary or inevitable with age, but has also provided us with diagnostic procedures and effective treatments that can dramatically help those who do experience these symptoms…all without the use of side effect ridden medications!
Yes, it’s really true! Thanks to recent breakthroughs in the diagnosis and treatment of balance disorders, you too can now break the endless cycle of dizziness and help prevent a fall related injury from occurring!
So, don’t waste another minute trying those often ineffective over the counter medications that seem to only make the problem worse! Continue reading this special medical report to learn about some amazing technological advancements that are helping people just like you overcome dizziness/vertigo and regain control of their life…even if other treatments have failed!It's estimated that over 20 to 50 billion dollars is spent annually because of back pain each year and 8 out of 10 people will have a problem with back pain at some time during their lives...that's the bad news!
The good news is that there are now some effective, non-surgical medical alternatives for your chronic pain...even if you've suffered with it for years and tried everything else, relief is now just down the street!
That's right! Even if you've already seen several doctors, ranging from your family practitioner to quite possibly a physical therapist, chiropractor or orthopedic surgeon, we have a comprehensive back pain program that can help make your dreams of living pain free come true!
Introducing My Balance & Fall Prevention Program
Developed specifically for dizziness and vertigo victims this three-step diagnostic and treatment program has been designed to not only identify the underlying cause of your dizziness or loss of balance but to also help improve your balance and eliminate your symptoms by restoring the normal function of your balance system with our proven treatment regimens. With this comprehensive approach to balance restoration, in many cases results can be seen in as little as 6 weeks!
Here now is a brief description of my breakthrough balance program:
Step #1: Computerized Balance Screening and Fall Risk Analysis:
This first step includes a computerized balance screening test and one-on-one evaluation with me to identify the possible reasons for your dizziness or balance problem. (With the use of this information, if a balance rehabilitative treatment program is necessary, I will be able to monitor your progress through periodic testing). At this time I will also perform a fall risk assessment I will also perform a lifestyle and fall risk assessment to help identify contributing factors such as inadequate exercise, poor diet and home safety to name a few.
Step #2: The Comprehensive Dizziness and Balance Diagnostic Evaluation:
If after the initial screening I have determined you have a balance disorder or are at risk of a fall, the next step will be to determine the cause of your problem (diagnose the problem).As mentioned earlier, patients with balance disorders often report a variety of symptoms such as dizziness, loss of balance, walking difficulties, and sometimes a prior history of a fall; therefore, it is important that the origin of the disorder is first properly diagnosed so that an appropriate treatment plan can be derived!
For this reason, I will then perform a comprehensive physical and neurological examination to identify any health problems such as cardiovascular disease or neurological disorders that may be causing or contributing to your dizziness or balance instability. Additionally, since one of the common causes of these disorders is a problem within your balance system, (e.g. the inner ear) if warranted, a Computerized Video Electronystagmography (VENG) and Computerized Dynamic Balance (CDB) test will be performed and a treatment plan will be determined. Remember, treating the symptom alone without addressing the cause will not correct the problem! This is why this second step of my balance program is so important!
Step #3: Computerized Vestibular (Balance) Rehabilitation Therapy (CVRT):
This last phase of my “Dynamic Balance & Fall Prevention Program” is the treatment phase. Once the origin of your balance disorder has been determined, specific computerized balance rehabilitative exercises and manual treatments designed to restore your sense of balance, increase your muscle strengthen and improve joint flexibility will be prescribed.
