 This very special event includes a panel of distinguished vestibular medicine physicians and scientists who volunteer on VeDA's Boards. This is a very unique opportunity for patients and caregivers to engage with these experts who will answer questions submitted to host Kathleen Stross. On this panel: Rick Clendaniel, PT, PhD;  Steven Rauch, MD; Habib Rizk, MD; Michael Schubert, PT, PhD; and Neil Shepard, PhD. 

 What does it mean to be "dizzy"? How do physicians approach diagnosing a vestibular disorder? What does it mean to have PPPD? These are just some of the topics addressed in this discussion between physical therapist Dr. Kathleen Stross, and neurotologist Dr. Joel A Goebel. This informative episode of VeDA's "Ask the Experts" touches on the journey to diagnosis and treatment, and more.  

 Vestibular patients across the globe share many common experiences besides the physical symptoms of vestibular disorders. In this recorded live event, UK-based Peter Rea, MD and US-based Joel Goebel, MD join host Kathleen Stross, DPT to discuss the differences and similarities between the US and UK healthcare systems and how that impacts vestibular health. This event is sponsored by the LifeOnTheLevel support group, led by Kevin Higgs, vestibular patient. 

This educational event is brought to you by MediTouch, the developer and manufacturer of a new and novel balance system. This talk will be informative for both healthcare professionals and vestibular warriors. Understanding the balance system and the way it is treated can be quite helpful for those undergoing or considering VPT. VeDA cohosts Drs. Kathleen Stross and Danielle Tolman will be joined by Lew Nashner and Amy Downing, who will share the science behind this new device, and the encouraging evidence and outcomes made possible by this balance platform. 

 Dr. Kathleen Stross, PT, MS, DPT, CHC interviews Dr. Danielle Tate, DPT about Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). Together they discuss symptoms, treatment options and prognosis, while answering questions during this Facebook Live presentation. 

 Have you ever wondered if medical marijuana or CBD could help you? It's a common question, from the vestibular community about alternative medicines. While this conversation is not a substitute for the advice of your healthcare professional, we believe it is important to provide and discuss information that is supported by research regarding this hot topic. Tune for our discussion with Kim Kelley from Pure Mana CBD to learn more about how CBD might help symptoms, and get your questions answered. 

 Dr.'s Kathleen Stross and Danielle Tolman are speaking with Mark Knoblauch, PhD- author of several books written for vestibular patients. His books were born out of his own research when he was afflicted with vestibular symptoms. Mark’s own experience with having multiple vestibular disorders will speak to all vestibular warriors, especially those with BPPV, Meniere’s disease, Vestibular Migraine, PPPD, and related symptoms. Mark’s background in sports medicine and interest in the scientific process led him to complete doctoral and post-doctoral training in kinesiology, molecular physiology and biophysics. You don’t want to miss his consumer guides which outline the many trials and successes that he has encountered during his vestibular journey.
