Vestibular Rehabilitation
Vestibular therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy that targets the inner ear and brain pathways that control balance and eye movements. It is used to reduce symptoms of dizziness or lightheadedness, vertigo (a spinning sensation), imbalance or unsteadiness, motion sensitivity (in cars, busy environments, screens), visual disturbances like blurred or bouncing vision, nausea related to movement or visual input.
Common Conditions We Treat
- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
- Post-concussion dizziness
- Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD)
- Cervicogenic dizziness (from neck dysfunction)
- Motion sensitivity or visual motion intolerance
- Unexplained chronic dizziness or imbalance from injury
Comprehensive Evaluation
Your care starts with a detailed evaluation that includes:
- Positional testing for BPPV
- Balance and gait analysis
- Visual and vestibular-ocular reflex testing
- Screening for neck involvement and autonomic symptoms
What To Expect During Treatment
Treatment is always tailored to your specific needs and may include:
Canalith repositioning maneuvers (e.g., Epley for BPPV)
Balance retraining exercises
Gaze stabilization techniques
Habituation and motion sensitivity training
Education on symptom management and pacing
