Vestibular Rehabilitation

EACH PATIENT WILL HAVE THEIR OWN CUSTOMIZED PLAN OF CARE BASED ON THEIR IMPAIRMENTS, DEFICITS, AND GOALS TO RETURN TO NORMAL ACTIVITY

HOW VESTIBULAR REHABILITATION WORKS

We treat patients suffering from dizziness, vertigo, and balance issues. Each patient will have their own customized plan of care based on their impairments, deficits, and goals to return to normal activity. We will also incorporate fall prevention and education into the patient's program.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF VESTIBULAR REHABILITATION

Vestibular rehabilitation is an exercise-based program designed to promote central nervous system compensation for inner ear deficits. It aims to reduce vertigo and dizziness, gaze instability, and imbalance and falls. The benefits include tailored exercise programs to rebuild confidence, techniques for symptom management, and education on fall prevention. Patients undergoing vestibular rehabilitation often return to their daily activities with improved stability and a reduced risk of falling. This holistic approach to recovery is invaluable for ensuring they can continue living independently with confidence.

VESTIBULAR REHABILITATION FREQUENCY

The suggested frequency and treatment for vestibular rehabilitation are highly individualized, depending on the nature and severity of the condition. Patients may undergo frequent sessions, typically 1-2 times a week, during the acute phase to address symptoms and regain function. As progress is made, the frequency may decrease, and the focus may shift to advanced balance and habituation. The total duration can vary widely, from a few sessions to several months, and should be tailored to the patient's specific needs.
