Dizziness
From Dizzy to (Mostly) Functional — Thanks, NorCal Brain! After an injury left my balance and focus feeling like a Jenga tower during a minor earthquake, I came to NorCal Brain Center hoping for help. What I got was part science experiment, part carnival ride — and somehow, it worked. They spun me, shook me, tilted me, flashed lights at me, and had me chase dots around like a cat with a laser pointer full of fresh batteries and catnip. I half-expected someone to hand me a treat at the end for good behavior. But instead, I got something even better — results. The team here is incredible: professional, patient, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They somehow manage to make complex neuro rehab both fascinating and fun — even when you're wearing strange goggles and trying not to fall off a balance board. What surprised me most was how quickly I started to improve. My dizziness, focus, and coordination all made noticeable progress in just a short time. These folks know their stuff, and they care deeply about getting people back to feeling human again. If your brain's been through the spin cycle and you want it recalibrated by people who actually get it — this is the place. Five stars, two steady feet, and one happily retrained nervous system.
