Vertigo Fixed in One Session? How Physical Therapy Treats BPPV, TMJ Pain & Balance Problems with Dan McGrane, DPT | Ep. 47

from Better: Outside the Box Healthcare with Dr. Matt Kettman | Wellness, Longevity, Metabolism, Unconventional Family Doctor · host mketttman2

Dr. Matthew Kettman sits down with Dan McGrane, DPT from Summit Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, to reveal how physical therapy can fix problems most people don't realize are treatable—including vertigo, TMJ pain, and chronic balance issues. Dan specializes in vestibular rehab and explains why 85% of vertigo cases (BPPV) can be fixed in just 1-2 sessions by physically repositioning crystals in your ear, but why attempting the Epley maneuver at home can actually make things worse. Discover how physical therapy treats TMJ without surgery, why it's more common in women, and the surprising connection between jaw pain, neck tension, and headaches. Dan also breaks down when to use ice vs heat for injuries, how physical therapy helps arthritis without medication, and why strengthening muscles around worn-out joints can eliminate pain better than relying on the joint itself. Whether you're dealing with chronic dizziness, jaw clenching, knee arthritis, or balance problems that put you at risk for falls, this episode provides real solutions. Learn what conditions physical therapy can actually treat (hint: way more than you think), how to find a good therapist, and why the "no pain, no gain" approach is outdated and harmful.
