Start Living a Pain-Free Life.
The vestibular system is a part of the inner ear that helps to control balance. If your inner ear is damaged by diseaseor injury, or it is work ing improperly, you may benefit from vestibular rehabilitation. Vestibular rehabilitation is an ex ercise based therapy program used to treat bal ance and dizziness disorders. It is based on the body' s natural ability to compensate for balance problems. Certain exercises strengthen this abil ity, and with a focused exercise routine, patients can improve their balance and note reduced dizziness.
Our goal is to help improve the quality of life and mobility for people experiencing imbalance or falls. There are many reasons balance can be impaired:
- Changes in vision, inner eat and sensation
- A history of orthopedic problems, such as low back and neck pain, arthritis and joint changes, which lead to decreased range of motion needed for balance
- Changes in posture, which can lead to unsteadiness
- Fear of falling
