Vestibular Balance Treatment

Vestibular disorders can diminish quality of life, impact all aspects of daily living, and contribute to emotional problems such as anxiety and depression. Evidence has shown that vestibular rehabilitation with physical therapy can be effective in improving many symptoms related to vestibular disorders. The treatment of a patient with an inner ear disorder focuses on determining a specific plan based on the individual’s diagnosis and symptoms.

Vestibular rehabilitation (VR), or vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) is a specialized form of therapy intended to alleviate both the primary and secondary problems caused by vestibular disorders. It is an exercise-based program primarily designed to reduce vertigo and dizziness, gaze instability, and/or imbalance and falls.
