    Always feeling dizzy? 

    Say goodbye to that with Vestibular rehabilitation. Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy is a specialized form of therapy intended to alleviate problems caused by vestibular disorders, primarily vertigo and dizziness, gaze instability, imbalance, and falls. 

     

    How does Vestibular Therapy work? After vestibular system damage, symptoms can be reduced and function can improve because of compensation because the brain learns to use other senses (vision and somatosensory – body sense) to substitute for the deficient vestibular system. However, in some cases, symptoms do not reduce, and for those who continue to have difficulty returning to daily activities, vestibular rehabilitation can assist in recovery by promoting compensation. Your physical therapist will obtain a detailed medical history, and an examination will also be done for visual stability, oculomotor function, standing balance, stability with walking, and neck mobility and tenderness. 

    Treatment includes some exercises such as habituation exercises, gaze stabilization exercises, balance training exercises, eye movements, stretching and strengthening exercises, and general fitness exercises. We also use the most recent evidence-based tools and modalities that will help you keep your balance.

    Vertigo is a sensation or feeling that the person or their environment is spinning. It can cause balance problems and often is a result of a problem in the inner ear. People who have vertigo may complain of feeling dizzy. Dizziness is also described as feeling lightheaded. Vertigo and lightheadedness often have different causes and different treatments, but they can occur together. 

    A number of conditions can produce vertigo, such as:

     

    • Inner ear infections or disorders.
    • Migraines.
    • Tumors, such as acoustic neuroma.
    • Surgery that removes or injures the inner ear or its nerves.
    • Head injury that results in injury to the inner ear.
    • A hole in the inner ear.
    • Stroke.
     
     

    You also might have:

     

    • Nausea.
    • Vomiting.
    • Sweating.
    • Abnormal eye movements.
    • Ringing in one or both ears.
    • Difficulty walking due to imbalance.
     

    Vertigo is a symptom of other issues. However, it can also occur alongside or lead to other symptoms, such as balance issues, nausea, and motion sickness.

         There are two types of vertigo: peripheral and central.

    • Peripheral vertigo accounts for about 80% of cases and is often the result of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)
    • The remaining 20% of cases are central vertigo, which results from lesions on the brain stem or another issue affecting the brain.
