Vertigo is different than just feeling dizzy from time to time.
It is an episode that can come on quickly, resolve just as quickly or last for hours and even days.
Vertigo can be caused by no apparent reason, antibiotics, jumping, sneezing, allergies, sleeping, falling to name a few. It can have serious effects on your safety while walking and driving.
Nick Rinard Physical Therapy has had many patients call his/her MD only to be told vertigo will go away on its own or scheduled an appointment to receive a generic hand out-that is not patient individualized. We have found this one size approach does not fit all. These self-help hand-out are most beneficial with the guidance of a physical therapist.
Please do not spend days or even weeks trying to heal yourself or wait for your symptoms to go away.
In as few as 2 visits our tailored approach can get you back on solid ground. Safely walking and driving around without fear of falls or a sudden onset of dizziness while driving.

“I had continual cervical pain related to a motor vehicle accident.
The pain affected my ability to sleep, read, work, drive, watch tv, and turn my head without pain.
Now, I can do all the above activities and recreational sport activities.”

“Bi-lateral flank pain. This issue does not appear to be structural, but Nick helped treat mid-to-upper back pain which was also present. I feel I have the tools and techniques to self-treat this and prevent future flare-ups. Thanks!”

Clinic Announcements, Clinical Case of the Week, Medical Advisory, Physical Therapy Tips
better, few visits, Nick Rinard physical therapy, pain-free, Physical Therapy, Portland Oregon, results
We have all seen it, heard it, and even experienced it. 12-24 visits of Physical Therapy without results.
This is not the way physical therapy should be.
Patients should expect results at every visit- notice a change- see a path forward and a clear end to treatment.
“Nick is very professional and ethical.
Although I was approved for six visits, Nick felt that all progress to be made was accomplished in three visits.
This was very important to me.
He should be commended for business ethics.
Lastly, I am much better than when the PT started!”
