Vestibular Rehabilitation: Overcoming Vertigo, Dizziness, and Balance Disorders
Living with vertigo or constant unsteadiness can be frightening and isolating. Inner ear disturbances, neurological events, or age-related changes can disrupt your balance system, making basic activities like walking or turning your head challenging.
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) is an evidence-based exercise program designed to retrain the brain to process balance signals correctly.
Common Conditions Treated with Vestibular Rehab
- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV): Brief, intense episodes of spinning triggered by head movements.
- Labyrinthitis & Vestibular Neuritis: Inner ear inflammation causing sudden, severe dizziness and imbalance.
- Post-Concussion Dizziness: Persistent unsteadiness following a head impact or trauma.
- Age-Related Balance Decline: Gradual loss of stability increasing the risk of falls.
Key Components of Vestibular Therapy
- Canalith Repositioning Procedures (Epley Maneuver): Guided head maneuvers to clear displaced inner ear crystals.
- Gaze Stabilization Exercises: Techniques to improve eye-head coordination and reduce blurred vision during movement.
- Balance & Gait Retraining: Exercises that challenge stability on different surfaces and in busy environments.
