Conditions We Treat
When busy stores, scrolling screens, and driving leave you queasy or dizzy, the cause is often a mismatch between visual motion and the balance system that we can measure and retrain.
Motion sensitivity is an exaggerated reaction to motion in the environment, such as busy stores, scrolling screens, or driving. Settings that most people move through without a second thought can leave you queasy, dizzy, or worn out.
It often reflects a mismatch between the visual motion you are seeing and what the balance system is reporting. When the two do not line up, the brain has to work harder, and that strain can show up as nausea, dizziness, or fatigue. It is common after a concussion.
Our advanced neuro-functional exam looks at how your visual and balance systems respond to motion. Using precise eye-tracking and VNG testing, detailed vestibular analysis, and optokinetic mapping, we measure how the eyes, inner ear, and brain are working together, then turn that into objective data.
From there we build a personalized vestibular and brain-based rehabilitation plan that retrains the specific pathways involved in your motion sensitivity. We re-test along the way so progress is something you can see and measure, not only something you feel.
Motion sensitivity is an exaggerated reaction to motion in the environment, such as busy stores, scrolling screens, or driving. Settings most people move through without a second thought can leave you queasy, dizzy, or worn out.
Environments with a lot of visual movement create a mismatch between the motion your eyes are seeing and what your balance system is reporting. When the two do not line up, the brain works harder to reconcile them, and that strain shows up as dizziness, nausea, or fatigue.
Screens produce rapid visual motion while your body stays still. If your visual and balance systems are not coordinating well, that conflict is enough to trigger nausea or dizziness even though you are not moving.
We use precise eye-tracking and VNG testing, detailed vestibular analysis, and optokinetic mapping to measure how your visual and balance systems respond to motion. Optokinetic mapping is particularly relevant here, since it measures how well your visual system keeps up at various speeds.
If busy spaces, screens, or driving are getting in the way of daily life, an evaluation can help identify what needs targeted support.
