Vertigo Atlanta & Physical Therapy is a specialized clinic for vestibular therapy in Atlanta, Georgia, led by Dr. Jose Crespo DPT. Using infrared Video Frenzel assessment, functional equilibrium testing, and cervical and TMJ examination, we identify why dizziness keeps returning, then treat the mechanism behind it.

Vestibular rehabilitation therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy that retrains the body’s balance system to reduce dizziness, vertigo, and unsteadiness. Through targeted eye, head, posture, and movement exercises matched to the cause of your symptoms, it helps the brain adapt to, compensate for, and habituate the faulty signals that keep you off balance.
Dizziness has many sources: the inner ear, the visual system, the neck, the brain’s processing of motion, or a combination of these. That is why Dr. Crespo begins every case by recording what your eyes do under infrared lenses. The eye-movement pattern helps indicate the cause of dizziness.
Before any treatment, Dr. Crespo follows the same three steps to locate the source of your dizziness
Infrared lenses remove visual fixation so involuntary eye movements that are invisible in normal light become recordable. Findings are paired with dynamic balance and equilibrium testing.
Peripheral vestibular dysfunction, central vestibular mechanisms, or cervical proprioceptive contribution.
In this step Dr. Crespo connects vestibular findings with cervical mechanics, craniofacial pain, and TMJ behavior, then sets the direction for treatment.
One-on-one vestibular therapy for dizziness, imbalance, vestibular hypofunction, and motion sensitivity.
Vertigo · Dizziness · Imbalance · Motion sensitivityDizziness and motion sensitivity, with or without headache.
Migraine-related dizziness & motion sensitivityPrecise canal testing, repositioning, and follow-through for recurrent positional vertigo.
Positional vertigo & canal repositioningPersistent postural-perceptual dizziness, chronic sway, and unexplained disequilibrium.
Chronic sway · Rocking · Daily unsteadinessVestibular neuritis, post-concussion and cervicogenic dizziness, TMJ and facial pain, balance and falls, and more.

Dr. Jose Crespo is a Doctor of Physical Therapy specializing in vestibular rehabilitation in Atlanta. Patients often arrive after vague diagnoses, repeated referrals, or incomplete relief from home maneuvers. Dr. Crespo uses infrared Video Frenzel recording to help determine the cause of your symptoms, then builds treatment around what the findings show. Every visit is direct, one-on-one care.
One-on-one vestibular care
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy that retrains the balance system through eye, head, posture, and movement exercises matched to the cause of dizziness. It works by helping the brain adapt to, compensate for, and habituate the faulty signals that cause vertigo and imbalance.
The pattern is the clue. BPPV produces brief, intense vertigo triggered by specific head positions and is the most common cause of vertigo. Vestibular migraine brings dizziness and motion sensitivity, with or without headache, often alongside light and sound sensitivity. PPPD feels like persistent rocking, swaying, or unsteadiness that lasts most days and worsens with upright posture, motion, and busy visual environments. Dr. Crespo’s assessment identifies which mechanism is dominant rather than guessing from symptoms alone.
BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) is the most common cause of vertigo. It happens when tiny calcium crystals shift into a semicircular canal of the inner ear and send false motion signals. It is treated with canalith-repositioning maneuvers such as the Epley maneuver, which guide the crystals back where they belong. In experienced hands these maneuvers resolve most cases, often quickly.
Infrared recording removes visual fixation, which normally suppresses abnormal eye movements. In darkness, nystagmus that is invisible in a lit room becomes recordable, and those patterns help localize whether the problem is peripheral vestibular, central, cervical, or mixed. Research suggests roughly two-thirds of abnormal eye movements are missed without infrared goggles.
Book if dizziness keeps returning, if home maneuvers did not resolve your symptoms, if you have imbalance after a concussion, or if your vertigo comes with migraine, neck, jaw, or facial pain. An assessment gives you an answer about the cause before committing to a treatment plan.
Bring your history, prior treatments, and your questions. Dr. Crespo will record what your eyes are doing and explain what the findings mean for your dizziness.
