Recently, one of Dr. Brett’s patients was experiencing dizziness, which was diagnosed as being caused by loose particles in the inner ear – a fairly common ailment. Dr. Brett was able to refer the patient to Dr. Nate, who has a lot of experience in this area. The patient was cured with just one treatment.

Treatment of the Month

This month we are highlighting our BALANCE & GAIT PROGRAM! We love helping people walk better, reduce their fall risk, and improve their quality of life.

Our unique Balance & Gait Program has helped many people and gives you an opportunity to be evaluated for any abnormalities in your walking patterns. We can assess if you need an assistive device such as a cane or a walker; if you already have one, then we can help by appropriately sizing it to be the perfect fit for you.

This program can help a wide range of people from geriatrics to athletes. We can work on fall prevention for the geriatric population and even perform running analysis utilizing videos for the athletic population.
