Dizziness, Vertigo & Balance Disorders

No — but it's an understandable thing to hear. For decades, chronic dizziness care meant “wait and see,” generic balance exercises, or being told it's stress-related.

What's changed is our understanding of the mechanisms driving these conditions. Research has significantly expanded in the last decade, but it takes an average of 17 years for clinical discoveries to reach half of practicing physicians — a gap that reflects how slowly medical knowledge moves through the system, not your doctor's competence.

There's no single fix that resolves chronic dizziness for everyone, but a structured, individualized approach can produce real, meaningful improvement for most patients.

No. Vestibular migraine, PPPD, and Meniere's disease rarely show up in isolation. Many of the patients we work with are also experiencing:

• Tinnitus or sound sensitivity
• Sleep disruption
• Cognitive fog or concentration difficulties
• Anxiety driven by symptom instability

Most conventional care treats each of these as a separate, unrelated problem, referring patients between specialists with no unifying framework. At NeuroMed, we treat them as one connected neurological picture — and that's central to why our approach often succeeds where fragmented care doesn't.

Most tinnitus programs are built primarily around a single intervention: sound therapy, CBT, a masking device, hearing aids, or a supplement protocol. While these approaches can help certain patients, many address only one piece of the problem rather than the broader neurological instability that often drives severe tinnitus.

NeuroMed’s approach is built on a different premise: that loud, disabling tinnitus is often a complex neurological condition with identifiable drivers, and that meaningful improvement frequently requires a coordinated, multimodal medical approach rather than a single tool.

Physicians around the country refer some of their most difficult tinnitus cases to us specifically because this level of clinical coordination is rarely available in standard settings. We are not a sound therapy platform with a physician attached. We are a specialty neurological rehabilitation program that incorporates sound therapy as one component within a much broader treatment framework.

Across the 20 week program, you'll have 15 telehealth visits with a clinician trained under Dr. Djalilian's protocols. At each one, your care team checks in on how your specific case is responding and adjusts the plan from there — nothing about it is fixed in advance. In between visits, you're not sitting around waiting for the next appointment: medication is working to calm the underlying nervous system activity, vestibular exercises are retraining your brain to tolerate motion again, structured cognitive work is reducing the reactivity that's been keeping your body on high alert, sleep is being stabilized because none of the rest holds without it, and diet and lifestyle coaching is addressing whatever's adding fuel to the fire day to day.

What shifts over the 20 weeks isn't which pieces are active — it's how much attention each one needs at a given point, based on how you're actually doing, not a script written before we ever spoke with you.

No treatment provides 100% recovery for everyone, and we won't promise otherwise. What we can say is that NeuroMed's protocols help over 90% of patients experience meaningful functional improvement and increased quality of life.

This isn't a generic estimate. It's grounded in Dr. Djalilian's own published clinical research on migraine-based treatment for vestibular migraine and Meniere's disease specifically.

The NeuroMed program was designed from the ground up as a telehealth-based dizziness and vertigo rehabilitation program, not adapted from an in-person clinic model. That distinction matters.

Successful dizziness and vertigo treatment depends heavily on:

• Longitudinal symptom tracking,
• Ongoing treatment adjustments,
• Regular and consistent medical coaching,
• Nervous system regulation, and
• Structured rehabilitation delivered over time.

None of those things require you to sit in a physical office. What they require is continuity, and telehealth is often better suited to providing continuity than traditional periodic office visits.

Practically, this means:

• No travel or waiting rooms
• Medical appointments conducted through secure video visits
• Supplements delivered directly to your home
• Prescriptions sent electronically to your local pharmacy
• Educational modules, coaching, and vestibular therapy tools accessible remotely

For a condition that affects you every day, care that fits into your life rather than constantly interrupting it is not a compromise. In many ways, it is an advantage.

As Chief Medical Advisor, Dr. Djalilian is responsible for scientific oversight, protocol development, and provider education — ensuring that the clinical frameworks used within the program reflect the same evidence-based approaches he has developed and refined over two decades of academic practice and research.

Every clinician in the NeuroMed program has been personally trained by Dr. Djalilian and maintains ongoing contact with him throughout their work with patients. Medical care is provided by licensed healthcare professionals through independent clinical practices — clinicians selected specifically for their expertise in complex neurological conditions, and trained in the dizziness and vertigo protocols Dr. Djalilian has developed over his career.

Medical care for NeuroMed participants is provided by licensed healthcare professionals through independent clinical practices. These clinicians are trained personally by Dr. Djalilian in evidence-based dizziness and vertigo management protocols, allowing NeuroMed and Dr. Djalilian to facilitate access to advanced medical care without the doctor participating in direct patient treatment himself.

NeuroMed operates independently and is not affiliated with or run by the University of California, Irvine. Academic titles and institutional affiliations are shared for background and transparency, not because those institutions are involved in NeuroMed's programs or services.

NeuroMed is a specialty neurological rehabilitation program designed for patients with complex, treatment-resistant dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders. Because the program involves ongoing medical management, structured rehabilitation, and a high level of individualized support, it operates outside of the traditional insurance-based care model.

The NeuroMed program is $5,500 and includes a 20-week multidisciplinary treatment program combining:

• 15+ telehealth visits with licensed clinical providers
• Prescription medication and nutraceutical therapy
• Functional medicine and lifestyle coaching
• Vestibular and neurocognitive rehabilitation
• Sleep and nervous system optimization
• AI-assisted protocol support
• Unlimited provider access and concierge-level support

We offer 12-month payment plans for qualified patients. The program is also fully HSA/FSA eligible. For patients with PPO plans that include out-of-network benefits, we can provide superbills upon request. Reimbursement varies significantly by plan and is not guaranteed. Our team can discuss all payment and financing options with you during the consultation process.
