Stop the Spinning with Help from our Experts.
Vestibular Rehabilitation helps people suffering with sudden onset of vertigo (sensation of spinning). This can happen when the head is moved in certain positions such as: laying down, rolling over in bed, rinsing hair in the shower, bending over, etc.
Symptoms include a feeling of unsteadiness or imbalance as well as complaints of nausea and vomiting.
Causes:
- Occurs spontaneously in most cases
- Common after a head trauma
- Common after an inner ear infection
Common Symptoms:
- Sensation of room or self-spinning
- Feeling of tilting or unsteadiness
- Lightheadedness
- Feeling off balance
- Nausea
- Sudden onset of symptoms
- Blurred vision
How We Help
The inner ear contains the sensory organs for hearing and balance.
Vestibular Rehabilitation treats vertigo caused by Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV).
- Benign: not malignant
- Paroxysmal: comes on suddenly
- Positional: position
- Vertigo: sensation of spinning
Treatment:
Often times, people with BPPV have been prescribed Meclizine or other anti-vertigo medicines which simply treat the symptoms. Our treatment can help fix the root cause.
Our approach is a safe, non-invasive series of assessments and exercises, along with positional re-education. Patients often see improvement in as few
as 1-3 visits.
