Find steadier ground when dizziness interrupts your life.
Focused one-on-one assessment for positional vertigo, BPPV, dizziness, and balance concerns—with treatment or referral guided by what the examination finds.
Dizziness and balance screening
BPPV testing when appropriate
A clear treatment or referral plan
UNDERSTANDING YOUR SYMPTOMS
Dizziness is a symptom—not a single diagnosis.
Balance depends on coordinated information from the inner ears, eyes, brain, and body. Your evaluation considers what the sensation feels like, how long it lasts, what triggers it, whether hearing or neurological symptoms are present, and how safely you can move. Empower provides focused BPPV assessment and repositioning care; symptoms suggesting another cause may require medical, audiology, or specialty vestibular evaluation.
COMMON SIGNS
Symptoms can show up in more than one way.
Unsteadiness while standing, walking, or turning
Dizziness associated with head or position changes
Nausea or a short period of imbalance after a spinning episode
WHAT MAY CONTRIBUTE
The painful area is only part of the picture.
A thorough examination looks at how your symptoms behave, how you move, and what your daily life or sport requires. Common contributors may include:
- Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)
- A recent head injury or illness
- Inner-ear or vestibular-system conditions
- Vision, sensation, strength, or mobility changes
- Medication or blood-pressure effects
- Neurological or other medical conditions that require referral

Clear answers before your first visit.
Do you treat every type of dizziness?+
No. Empower offers focused screening and care for presentations such as BPPV. Dizziness can have many causes, so symptoms that do not fit the available service—or suggest a medical concern—are referred appropriately.
What does BPPV usually feel like?+
BPPV often causes a brief spinning sensation after a specific head-position change, such as rolling in bed or looking upward. Constant dizziness, fainting, or neurological symptoms require a different evaluation.
What is a repositioning maneuver?+
It is a supported sequence of head and body positions intended to move displaced inner-ear particles out of the affected canal. The examination determines whether a maneuver is appropriate and which one to use.
Can BPPV come back?+
Yes. Some people experience another episode later. A recurrence should still be reassessed rather than automatically assumed to be identical to the first episode.
