Dizziness Is Not Fate
By Dr. Bodo and Mechthild Schiffmann
Feeling dizzy is frightening - but it is not hopeless.
In Dizziness Is Not Fate, German ENT-specialist and vertigo experts Dr. Bodo and Mechthild Schiffmann explain how dizziness, imbalance, and chronic vertigo arise - and why most patients can recover once the real causes are understood. Drawing on more than two decades of clinical experience, Schiffmann reveals that dizziness is rarely "all in your head." It is a complex interaction between body, brain, and perception - and it can be retrained.
Through clear language and practical exercises, he guides readers to recognize the underlying mechanisms of vertigo: malfunctioning sensory signals, tension in the neck or jaw, circulation problems, stress, or anxiety loops that amplify physical sensations. Using case studies from thousands of treated patients, he demonstrates how targeted movement, breathing, and re-orientation of attention can calm the system and restore stability.
Inside this book you will learn:
• How to identify different forms of dizziness and what they mean
• Why balance disorders can trigger anxiety - and how to stop that cycle
• The connection between eyes, inner ear, and posture
• Simple daily exercises to retrain the vestibular system
• How mindset and body awareness accelerate healing
Schiffmann's approach combines modern ENT medicine with psychology and self-help. It replaces fear with knowledge and helplessness with control. Readers discover that dizziness is not a mysterious curse but a language of the body - one that can be translated, calmed, and ultimately healed.
For patients, therapists, and anyone who wants to understand balance from the inside out, Dizziness Is Not Fate offers both science and reassurance: the path from uncertainty to confidence, from spinning to standing still.
