About me:

Hi! If you’re new here, my name is Dr. Drew and I’m physical therapist specializing in dizziness and neck pain.

Five years ago, I had a massive flare up of dizziness that made my life pretty rough. It was scary and I couldn’t get clear answers on what was causing it until I found a PT who was able to accurately diagnose me and help me get my life back.

Now, my goal is to give people going through this what I would have wanted from the start: Clear answers, a clear plan, daily guidance, and emotional support.

Thank you all 🙌🙌🙌

It’s been an amazing year.

I’ll still be around posting, but the schedule will be closed until 2024

[neck pain, cervicogenic dizziness, migraines, vestibular dizziness, pppd, migraine, visual vertigo, visual dependence, anxiety]

👉 Helping people gives my life purpose - but it takes time…

When I meet people, they are often dealing with scary and challenging things. They give me their trust to help guide them “out of the dark woods” and back to “feeling normal”..

I take the responsibility seriously (I know how hard dealing with this can be). I wouldn’t be able to look myself in the mirror if I didn’t give my best for each person.

That takes time… I wish I could talk with everyone. I wish I could help everyone who needed it, right now, right away.

At some point though, it would take away from how much I have to give the people I’m already working with.

For this reason I’m going to close my schedule for a bit. Hopefully i’ll open it back up in early August! If this post is pinned to the top, the schedule is closed for a bit.

BUT… Please reach out and I can add you to my email list. I’ll make sure to email you when I open it back up so we can find a time to talk.

Thank you all for your trust, for your willingness to let me share information, and my story. I’ll keep doing my best to add value here even when the schedule is closed.

Best,

Dr. Drew

“Why?” Can be a tough question… 🤔

I ask people I work with a ton of questions about the future they want. What they want to be doing, with who, any specific activities or trips.

BUT… the harder question is the next one. Why is that important to you

Not an easy thing to answer. Trips like this past week help me remember my why.

I’m blessed to have the best family, and amazing friends. As well as a partner to share it and enjoy it all with.

Being able to spend time with them, to have fun, to support them. That’s my why. Always has been.

I can lose sight of those things. I think we all can. Here’s to the people who give you your why.

This year has been amazing 🥳 It’s crazy to see a vision become a reality…

The vision was pretty simple - Give people what I would have wanted when I was going through this.

Executing on that vision… not so simple 😂

Dealing with pain and dizziness is scary. It’s hard. It’s not fun and it can make you feel like “someone else”. It can feel like being lost in the woods at dark, wandering around not sure what to do.

Being able to connect with and go on that journey with so many awesome people has given purpose to my life that I truly underestimated the impact of. In a selfish way that has been my gift.
Seeing people be able to drive, go to the store, play with their kids, travel, get back in the gym…For the first time in months or years. It’s amazing.

But more importantly, knowing how much these things mean to us. To our happiness, to our sense of self.

To be the parent, the friend, the spouse, the co worker, the person we want to be.

That’s what I wanted when I was going through this. Being able to help others on their journey is truly special.

Treating it can be complicated. It takes time, patience, and a willingness to spend the time required to figure out what has probably been misdiagnosed/undiagnosed for a long time.

In order to do that at the standard I expect of myself, I need to close my calendar to new patient calls for now.. If you have a consultation call booked already, no worries, we are good to go and I will be there!

I’ll open back up the schedule the first week of January. Thank you all for supporting the vision and the mission. For having trust in me to share this information and my story.

Much love to all my fellow Alignites,

Dr. Drew

👉 Hello! The page has grown quite a bit, and in the hope of clarifying some of the basics…

I’m Dr. Drew, a Physical Therapist and business owner.

📌At this point in my career, I only treat a few things…

Mainly, Cervicogenic Dizziness (along with the neck pain, cervicogenic headaches, and PPPD it so often causes).

Why? There’s a few reasons but the biggest is I truly feel a responsibility for helping people going through it.

📌Five years ago, I had a massive flare up in dizziness that made life pretty rough. It was scary, and I couldn’t get clear answers on what was causing it.

Going through this caused a ton of fear, anxiety, and in general for 18 months it really sucked.

I finally found a PT who accurately diagnosed it as Cervicogenic Dizziness and visual dependence (Basically PPPD). She put together a plan, helped guide me through it, and…

I “got my life back”. It sounds dramatic, but if you've been there, you know what I mean. Being dizzy can make you feel like someone completely different.

📌Now, my goal is to give people going through this what I would have wanted. Clear answers, a clear plan, daily guidance, and honestly, emotional support.

The people who find me are usually frustrated by being blown off by every medical provider they’ve talked to, had all the tests and have been told “everythings normal”. They’re trying to get back to their old lives…

Exercising, driving, playing with their kids, working, traveling with their spouse, being able to cook and take care of themselves… Without feeling terrible.

📌If that sounds like you, a great next step would be checking out the free webinar I made called “Root Cause”.

In it I talk in much more depth about how your neck can cause dizziness, PPPD, anxiety, and go through a framework of how you get your life back.

If you made it here, thanks for checking out the page. I truly wish you the best in your journey, and hope you can start to consider me to be a trusted guide along the way 🙌

Made it home in one piece ✅

Such an awesome trip. 240 miles and 7 nights down the Grand Canyon.

Best part was sharing it with family and meeting new friends along the way.

Stoked to get back at it and sorry if I was slow to get back to you over the past week!! (Meant to make it more clear I’d be gone)

When is the last time you had a “good week”?

Dealing with long term pain and dizziness can make it hard to remember a time when you felt good for that long.

It’s important to keep track of and celebrate those small steps on the journey to recovery. Celebrating and acknowledging progress makes the process more fun but…

It also helps to look back on what your wrote down when you are in a “down week”, when it seems all your work has been pointless.

If you need someone to talk to during those weeks, I am always here for that 🙌

Have you ever closed your eyes and felt dizzy? Like you are swaying or floating… 👇

You are not alone, it’s hard for a lot of people to close their eyes, or to go into busy stores/busy places.

Being able to bring awareness to our other balance systems can really help you deal with this.

One basic example is bringing awareness to how your feet feel on the ground, this technique is called “grounding”.

It’s also something that’s done in every yoga class in its own way!

Annie was kind enough to set aside some time to talk about the power of Co**se Pose/Shavasana.

I wanted to ask her why being mindful of our bodies is so important in yoga and explain how it could help you heal 🙌

Tune in at 1PM Central Time on this Wednesday the 16th!

Let me know in the comments if you’ve ever been dizzy with your eyes closed 👇

Dr.Drew.Aligns updated their phone number.

Getting answers is the hardest part… Especially for headaches/migraines and dizziness.

With so many different possible causes, understanding what’s going on is crucial to fixing it.

This is a chance to get some!! 👇

I am stoked to have Dr. Nidhi join us for an IG live to talk about Vestibular Migraines.



She specializes in helping people with vestibular disorders and will be a great resource to bounce some questions and ideas off.

This Wednesday the 9th at 4pm Pacific Time, we will be talking about Vestibular Migraines and Cervicogenic Headaches/Dizziness to try and provide some clarity in the muddy water of headaches and dizziness.

What questions do you have? Comment below and I'll make sure to ask her!
