What is Vestibular Therapy?

Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy designed to effectively treat vestibular disorders. Our comprehensive approach includes manual head maneuvers and a progressive program tailored to reduce vertigo, dizziness, visual issues, imbalance, falls, and balance-related challenges.

Understanding the Vestibular System

Your vestibular system plays a crucial role in detecting head position and motion, enabling you to react swiftly to any changes. It encompasses:

• Inner Ear Organs
• Vestibular Centers
• Peripheral Vestibular Nervous Systems

Is Vestibular Therapy Right for You?

Determining whether Vestibular Therapy is suitable for your condition requires a comprehensive evaluation by our experienced team. We will assess the progression, onset, and symptoms of your condition, considering your medical history. Our evaluation may include:

• Reflex tests and central neurological testing
• Cranial Nerve Tests
• Cervical tests
• Assessment of visual oculomotor functions
• Balance testing
• Gait assessment
• Table position testing
• Nystagmus observation using Frenzel or Infrared Goggle tests

Based on the assessment results, our physical therapist will develop a tailored treatment plan to address any deficiencies and improve your symptoms and daily functioning.

Embrace Your Journey to Recovery

While the exercises in vestibular rehabilitation can be quickly learned, consistency is key to success. We recommend performing the exercises at least 2-3 times per day. We understand that incorporating these exercises into a busy schedule can be challenging, but it’s crucial for optimal results. To make it easier, we encourage patients to create a dedicated schedule.

During the initial stages, you may experience a slight increase in symptoms, indicating that the exercises are being performed correctly and effectively stimulating your vestibular system. Over time and with persistent effort, your symptoms will improve, becoming less severe.

Customized Treatment for Lasting Results

Every patient’s vestibular rehabilitation program is unique, tailored to address specific impairments and individual needs. We offer specialized exercises and techniques that encompass three essential categories of central-brain compensation:

• Adaptation
• Habituation
• Substitution
