Hi Nitro. I'm currently going through some vestibular therapy in Edmonton with a company called LifeMark. They also have several locations in Calgary. The therapist did find an inner ear issue that she is treating me for which got my hopes up pretty high. AT first I got worse, but then after a few more treatments, I'm doing better with the dizziness. It's like there are different parts of a puzzle that may cause all these issues.
So, now I'm still going to her for thereapy once a week (By the way, $88 per treatment and if you have coverage, you might be able to claim it under Physio Therapy - so I've been told.
On top of this, I'm started going back to my Chiropractor who only does ART (Active Release THereapy) on my neck, jaw and shoulders. Because of my neck injury and spinal compression, there is no cracking involved. Next however, I want to try the NUCCA folks who do the gentle upper cervical / atlas adjustments. This part is going to cost about $800. No idea if I will have any kind of coverage for that. At this point, I don't care - my hopes are high that all of this will lead to significan relief!
It might be a good idea to give Lifemark or another vestibular clinic a call and see if they do the same or something different than the university did for you.
Good luck - this dizziness or vertigo and nausea is not fun.
