Vestibular Rehab specializes in treating dizziness, vertigo, and other balance issues arising from inner ear disorders. The vestibular system plays a crucial role in maintaining stable vision and posture, and when disrupted, patients may experience spinning sensations, unsteadiness, or nausea. Our therapy uses repositioning maneuvers (like the Epley maneuver) and specialized exercises to retrain your brain’s response to changes in head position. Beyond manual maneuvers, we focus on eye-head coordination drills, balance exercises, and gradual exposure to movements that typically provoke symptoms. The result is a recalibrated vestibular system and significantly reduced episodes of dizziness. This targeted approach can be life-changing for those who’ve struggled with unpredictable bouts of vertigo or persistent imbalance.
Your therapist will conduct a vestibular assessment, which may include specific positional tests to gauge which part of the inner ear is affected. Based on the findings, we’ll apply repositioning maneuvers and design a set of exercises you can practice at home to continue retraining your vestibular system.
Ideal for individuals with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), vestibular neuritis, or other inner ear conditions causing chronic dizziness or unsteadiness.
How do I know if I need vestibular rehab?
If you experience frequent dizziness, vertigo, or imbalance, a vestibular assessment could be beneficial.
What is BPPV?
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo is a common cause of vertigo triggered by head position changes.
Are the repositioning maneuvers painful?
They are generally gentle, though you may feel brief vertigo or nausea during the maneuvers.
How long does it take for symptoms to improve?
Some patients see quick relief, while others require a few weeks of consistent exercises.
Can I drive if I have vertigo?
It depends on severity. Speak with your doctor or therapist about safety recommendations.
What type of exercises will I do at home?
They often include head turns, eye tracking, and balance challenges to retrain your vestibular system.
Can vestibular rehab help motion sickness?
Yes. Similar retraining exercises can improve tolerance to motion for some individuals.
Is your pain keeping you from fully enjoying your day?
