Vestibular Treatment

Vestibular Treatment

Nearly half of people will experience some type of dizziness in their lifetime.  For people over the age of 75, dizziness is the #1 reason for seeking medical attention.  Additionally, dizziness is a leading cause of  falls in the elderly.

The qualified physical therapists at Therapy Network will perform an evaluation for vestibular treatments. The therapist will overview a thorough medical history with the patient and perform a variety of tests for balance, gait, and oculo-motor function. With the results from these tests, the therapist will create a plan for vestibular rehabilitation.

Vestibular rehabilitation is an exercise based program specifically designed from the results of your evaluation, and is designed to improve balance and reduce dizziness-related symptoms.  Individuals who have stable vestibular function and whose symptoms are provoked by movements and positions, often respond positively to vestibular exercises.

Common symptoms of a vestibular problem include but are not limited to:

  • Dizziness
  • Vertigo (room spinning sensation)
  • Imbalance
  • Nausea
  • Hearing changes
  • Anxiety
  • Fatigue

Benign Paroxsymal Positioning Vertigo (BPPV)

  • Most common cause of dizziness seen clinically
  • Defined by brief periods of vertigo associated with changes in head positions
  • Idiopathic or related to trauma
  • Usually successfully treated by canalith re-positioning exercises

Other common diagnoses include:

  • Vestibular Neuritis
  • Labyrinthitis
  • Acoustic Neuroma
  • Bilateral vestibular loss
  • Vervical vertigo
  • Head trauma

If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms or have been diagnosed, call The Therapy Network today to schedule your initial appointment.

Don’t wait. Stop the pain before it starts.
