Vestibular rehabilitation is a widely unknown but important form of therapy. It is intended to target both the primary and secondary problems that vestibular disorders cause. It is basically an exercise program designed to lessen the problem of vertigo, gaze instability, dizziness, and/or imbalance and falls. Vestibular rehabilitation is a highly effective treatment for dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems.

How Does Vestibular Rehabilitation Work?

Vestibular rehabilitation is used to treat issues with the vestibular system which consists of the organ in the inner ear. Even though you might have never heard of it, this system is responsible for our ability to perceive head movement, stay upright, and see clearly. Typically when our patients come to our office complaining of dizziness, ear infections, vertigo, blurry vision, etc. we know what the issue is. We assess into great lengths to ensure we are properly treating you.

Some of our assessments include having a discussion about the history and nature of your symptoms, evaluating your eye movements, testing for any motion sensitivity, evaluation of your balance, and more. Once all tests are complete, we can start our process.

We tend to see our patients for up to 8 weeks or more, and during that time we develop a personalized treatment plan for you. Some exercises you might learn during our time together that can help your vestibular system are:
