If You’re Dizzy, Foggy, or Dealing With Persistent Headaches —You’re Not Alone
Dizziness, vertigo, headaches, neck pain, and jaw tension often show up together. Many people are told their symptoms are stress-related, “just migraines,” or something they have to live with. Others bounce between providers without clear answers.
These symptoms are real — and in many cases, they are treatable with physical therapy.
The balance system, neck, jaw, and nervous system work closely together. When one part isn’t functioning well, it can contribute to symptoms like dizziness, vertigo, headaches, neck stiffness, jaw pain, or a general sense of imbalance. Treating only one symptom in isolation often leads to incomplete or temporary relief.

Dizziness, Headaches, and Neck Pain
Are Often Connected
Physical therapy for dizziness and headaches focuses on identifying the underlying contributors to your symptoms — including neck mechanics, balance function, movement patterns, and nervous system regulation.
Rather than chasing individual symptoms, treatment is tailored to how your system is functioning as a whole.
Specialized, One-on-One Care
At Unbound Physical Therapy, dizziness and headache care is provided one-on-one with a doctor of physical therapy. Kevin Holmes, DPT, specializes in treating dizziness, headaches, neck pain, and related conditions as a connected system — not separate problems.
Sessions are individualized, hands-on, and designed to help you feel more stable, confident, and in control of your movement.
How Physical Therapy Can Help
Dizziness and Vertigo
Dizziness and vertigo can include spinning sensations, lightheadedness, unsteadiness, or feeling off when moving your head or body. Symptoms may be constant or episodic and are often influenced by the balance system, neck, or nervous system. Physical therapy can help address these contributors and improve confidence with movement.
Common symptoms and conditions we treat include:
Spinning or room-moving sensations
Feeling off-balance or unsteady when walking
Dizziness with head or position changes
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)
Vestibular hypofunction
Ménière’s disease related dizziness
Headaches and Migraine
Headaches and migraines can be influenced by neck stiffness, muscle tension, jaw involvement, or balance system dysfunction. Many people notice patterns related to posture, movement, or prolonged positions. Physical therapy can help identify and address these physical contributors.

Tension-type headaches
Cervicogenic headaches
Migraine headaches
Headaches associated with neck stiffness

Neck Pain and Stiffness
Neck pain or stiffness can limit movement, contribute to headaches, or affect balance and coordination. Symptoms may include restricted motion, soreness, or tension that builds throughout the day. Treatment focuses on improving mobility, strength, and movement patterns to support lasting relief.
Common symptoms and conditions we treat include:
Persistent neck pain or stiffness
Limited or painful neck range of motion

Jaw pain or soreness
Clicking or popping with jaw movement
Clenching or grinding (bruxism)
