Vestibular Rehabilitation

What is vestibular rehabilitation?

Vestibular rehabilitation (VR) is a specialized form of physical therapy designed to help individuals who experience dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders. The vestibular system, located in the inner ear, plays a crucial role in maintaining balance and spatial orientation. When this system becomes disrupted due to injury, illness, or age-related changes, it can lead to symptoms like dizziness, lightheadedness, vertigo (a spinning sensation), unsteadiness, and falls.

For individuals struggling with balance issues, our physical therapist can play a pivotal role in alleviating symptoms and improving you quality of life.

What Causes Vestibular Disorders or Dysfunction?

Vestibular disorders occur when there is a disruption in the vestibular system, which is responsible for controlling balance and spatial orientation. This system, located in the inner ear and brain, helps your body maintain balance and coordinate movement. When something goes wrong with this system, it can lead to symptoms like dizziness, vertigo, and unsteadiness.
