Vertigo and Dizziness Treatment in Santa Cruz County

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 consultation

At 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.

When to seek urgent care instead

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.

Common causes of vertigo

BPPV, or benign paroxysmal positional vertigo
Vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis
Meniere’s disease with hearing changes and ringing
Migraine-associated vertigo
Cervicogenic dizziness from the neck
Blood pressure and medication-related causes
Anxiety-related dizziness

Getting the cause identified first

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.

Integrative and homeopathic support for vertigo

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.

Who this suits

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is dizziness an emergency?

Seek urgent care if dizziness comes with sudden severe headache, weakness, speech difficulty, facial drooping, vision changes, chest pain, fainting or difficulty walking.

Do I need to see an ENT first?

Often, yes. Identifying the cause comes before treatment, and referrals are made when specialist assessment is needed.

Can homeopathy help with vertigo?

Some patients find episodes become less frequent or less severe with constitutional treatment. Results vary between individuals.

Do you treat dizziness as well as vertigo?

Yes. Vertigo and dizziness overlap but are not identical, and consultation helps identify the cause.
