Vestibular Therapy
Are you looking for physical therapy to address your balance disorder and improve your stability, dizziness, and overall quality of life through evaluations and targeted exercises?
A balance disorder is a condition that causes feelings of unsteadiness or dizziness, including sensations of movement, spinning, floating, or tipping over.
Dizziness can vary in intensity and duration, from fleeting faintness to long-lasting vertigo.
Balance disorders affect a significant number of Americans at some point in their lives and can result from health conditions, medications, inner ear or brain issues.
Balance disorders have a profound impact on daily activities and can cause psychological and emotional challenges.
Common diagnoses related to balance disorders include central nervous system disorders, neuropathy, age-related balance dysfunction, oculomotor (visual) dysfunction, BPPV, labyrinthitis, Ménière's disease, vestibular neuronitis, muscle atrophy, and nerve injuries.
Physical therapists can play a crucial role in treating balance disorders by providing evaluations and implementing various treatments.
Physical therapy treatments for balance disorders may include coordination exercises, proprioception exercises, strengthening exercises, stretching and range of motion exercises, posture exercises, retraining of the inner ear, and visual tracking training.
