DIZZINESS A thorough vestibular and concussion evaluation is essential because dizziness, imbalance, vertigo, visual disturbances, and concussion symptoms can originate from multiple systems. Emily Averitt, DPT, Vestibular & Concussion Certified, uses a comprehensive evaluation process to assess the vestibular system, vision and eye movements, neurological function, cervical spine, positional vertigo, balance, and postural stability rather than simply treating the symptom of âdizziness.â
The information gathered during this evaluation helps Emily identify specific impairments and direct treatment toward what is actually contributing to the patientâs symptoms. Just as importantly, her detailed findings provide valuable clinical information that can be shared with a patientâs primary care provider or specialist when additional medical evaluation, imaging, or testing may be appropriate.
This creates a more coordinated approach to careâhelping patients receive targeted treatment while keeping their healthcare team informed when further medical management is needed.
