Integrative & Homeopathic Medicine
Vertigo is not the same as feeling faint. It is the sensation that you or the room is moving when neither is, and it can be brief and positional or persistent and disabling.
Book a consultationAt Trilogy Medical, serving Santa Cruz, Aptos, Capitola and Soquel, Dr. Jeff Lester, D.O. sees patients with vertigo and dizziness that has not resolved with conventional treatment, or where the cause has not been identified.
Go to an emergency room or call 911 if dizziness or vertigo comes with sudden severe headache, weakness or numbness on one side, difficulty speaking, facial drooping, vision changes, chest pain, fainting, difficulty walking, or a high fever with a stiff neck.
Vertigo is a symptom, not a diagnosis. Dr. Lester takes a proper history, examines you, reviews testing and refers to ENT specialists, neurologists or imaging when indicated.
Where the cause is understood and conventional treatment has not fully resolved it, an integrative approach can help. Constitutional homeopathy considers the whole pattern including triggers, sleep, blood sugar, blood pressure, stress, neck involvement and migraine history.
People whose vertigo has been investigated but keeps returning, people told nothing is wrong who are still dizzy, and people looking for physician-guided whole-person care.
