Vestibular & Balance Rehabilitation
What is Vestibular Rehabilitation?
Vestibular Rehabilitation is an individualized program to treat patients with vertigo, dizziness and/or balance disorders.
Have You Ever Experienced:
- Dizziness
- Episodes of spinning
- Periods of light-headedness
- Trouble focusing or reading
- Loss of balance or frequent falls
- Increased fatigue
*If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may benefit from Vestibular and/or Balance Rehabilitation.
Your therapists will evaluate you to determine:
- Position or movements that may cause dizziness.
- Balance deficits which may interfere with your ability to perform daily activities such as dressing, bathing, walking, driving, or shopping.
- Visual function as it relates to eye-head coordination required for reading, driving, or walking.
Your Vestibular Therapy Program includes:
- Exercises to help you stop or reduce symptoms of dizziness.
