INDUSTRIAL PATIENT OF THE MONTH

Ron T.

Injury: Vertigo

Therapist: Stacie Hoegen, DPT, Apple Nashua

The patient was a 29 year old male mechanic who has been dealing with vertigo for years. It began insidiously following laying in bed. Upon evaluation, patient’s baseline is that a picture on the wall is shaking when he is looking at it and recently worsened to the point where he feels dizzy while driving on the highway and feels as if he may pass out. He was referred to PT by a family member who knew Apple therapy treated vertigo. Pt was given canalith repositioning exercises for home at the evaluation and on the first follow up was given habituation and balance exercises. By follow up visit #2, the patient stated he no longer had static vertigo and had symptoms infrequently while driving.
