Beyond Vestibular
People need support when they are in crisis and are often dismissed as having a mental health issue with a psych consult in the ED due to poor coping skills. It has been reported by many patient advocacy organizations that people with complex and chronic health conditions such as the ones discussed see > 5-7 MDs before acquiring a diagnosis. Specialty provider appointments often have month-long waiting lists and PTs can be instrumental in partnering with patients to identify symptom triggers and to address specific impairments to help turn down the volume of ANS and immune reactivity until medical help can be acquired. PTs are primary care providers and need innovative tools like DizzyDx™ to help with clinical reasoning.
