Vertigo isn't always "crystals in the ear" — a DPT walks through BPPV, neuritis, and why the neck guards when the brain feels threatened.
Interview Session: Matt Hepner sits down with Aneesh Mampachail, DPT, and Thomas after Aneesh cleared Jessica's vertigo without machines or X-rays.
Matt brought Jessica to Aneesh after years of dizziness and a chiropractic path that didn't stick. Aneesh explains the major vertigo categories (BPPV/otoconia, neuritis, PPPD), how a boat ride can temporarily mask vestibular dysfunction, and how cervical guarding (VCR/VSR reflexes) locks the neck when the brain reads a threat. Thomas works alongside Aneesh; together they talk diagnosis by palpation, progressive home exercise, and God's design of the inner-ear XYZ canals. Conversation also ranges into manners, India, Catholic schooling, and everyday courtesy — always circling back to healing and faith.
