Vestibular therapy rehabilitates the brain, body and eyes to decrease symptoms and improve balance, coordination and mobility. Common symptoms include headaches, blurry vision, nausea, dizziness, noise and light sensitivity, as well as difficulty with coordination, concentration and memory.
The vestibular system is the system in the body that maintains
balance, posture and the body's orientation in space. This
system also helps to keep objects in visual focus as the body moves.
Conditions, such as concussion, can affect the vestibular system.
Often a concussed person will complain of difficulty with driving,
looking at a computer screen, reading a book and difficulty changing
gaze focus.
Our vestibular therapists create treatment plans specific to each
patient. Following are the conditions that can treated with
Vestibular rehabilitation:
1. Benign Paroxysmal
Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
2. Labarynthitis or Vestibular
Neuritis (Ear Infection)
3. Motion Sensitivity
