Facts and
Questions:
Can I have a phone consultation prior to my first
visit? Yes, we would be happy to conduct a brief
telephone interview to determine whether or not you are a candidate for the
program. What if I live outside of the Houston
area? Treatment can only be provided following a face-to-face evaluation. It is often the best
plan to have the patient stay overnight in the area. This way, Day One would include the evaluation and
initial treatment, and Day Two would be follow up, training, and education on a home program. Careful
follow-up may be scheduled through phone conversations or emails. This will facilitate recovery and
minimize trips to Houston. Can a therapist come to my
home? In
some cases, home visits are the best option and can be arranged for an additional
charge. How long will the first
visit take? The first visit typically lasts 60 minutes. How long are subsequent visits? Follow up visits are 30-60
minutes. What should I wear or bring? You will be most comfortable in
casual pants or shorts that allow easy movement. Bring copies of any pertinent medical records or
test results you have, as well as a list of all your medications /
supplements. Will I feel sick
afterward? Some people feel tired or dizzy following the appointment, but these symptoms are
temporary. Should I have someone drive
me? It is always a good idea to have someone else drive
you if you have dizziness or vertigo. Should I take or discontinue certain medications prior to my
visit? If you are taking
medications for vertigo, your doctor may want you to discontinue these prior to your
evaluation.
