What is Vestibular Therapy?
Vestibular therapy, also known as vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT), is a specialized form of physical therapy designed to alleviate symptoms caused by vestibular disorders. The vestibular system, located in the inner ear, plays a crucial role in maintaining balance and spatial orientation. When this system is disrupted, it can lead to dizziness, vertigo, balance problems, and other related symptoms.
At Peak Sport and Spine, our experienced therapists utilize a combination of exercises and techniques to help patients retrain their brains and bodies to improve balance and reduce dizziness. Our personalized approach ensures that each patient receives a treatment plan tailored to their specific needs and goals.
Common Conditions Treated with Vestibular Therapy
Vestibular therapy can be beneficial for individuals suffering from a variety of conditions, including:
- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV): BPPV is one of the most common causes of vertigo, characterized by brief episodes of dizziness triggered by changes in head position. Our therapists use specific maneuvers, such as the Epley maneuver, to reposition the tiny crystals in the inner ear that cause BPPV symptoms.
- Vestibular Neuritis and Labyrinthitis: These conditions are typically caused by viral infections that inflame the inner ear or the vestibular nerve. Symptoms include sudden, severe vertigo, imbalance, and nausea. Vestibular therapy can help reduce these symptoms and promote recovery.
- Meniere’s Disease: This chronic condition affects the inner ear and can cause vertigo, hearing loss, tinnitus, and a feeling of fullness in the ear. Our therapists work with patients to manage and reduce the frequency and severity of Meniere’s disease symptoms.
- Post-Concussion Syndrome: Individuals who have suffered a concussion may experience persistent dizziness and balance issues. Vestibular therapy can be an effective part of a comprehensive concussion management program, helping patients return to their normal activities safely.
- Migraine-Associated Vertigo: Migraines can sometimes be accompanied by vertigo and dizziness. Our therapists address these symptoms with targeted exercises and techniques to improve vestibular function and reduce the impact of migraines.
- Unilateral or Bilateral Vestibular Loss: This condition occurs when there is a loss of function in one or both vestibular systems, leading to significant balance problems. Vestibular therapy can help patients adapt and compensate for this loss, improving their overall stability.
