Effective Treatment for Balance and Vestibular Disorders

Dizziness and balance disorders are frequent problems, especially in aging adults. While vestibular dysfunction is often seen in older individuals, it may occur at any age. Dizziness, vertigo, disequilibrium, blurred or bouncing vision, vertigo and anxiety are common symptoms that may result from an issue with your vestibular system.

During everyday tasks, our brain assesses inputs from our vision, inner ear, and body to coordinate appropriate balance reactions. Problems in the brain or any of our sensory systems may result in loss of balance and/ or falls. While these sensory systems tend to decline with age and various medical conditions, imbalance can occur at any age.

The good news is that customized balance and vestibular rehab are effective treatments. Our specialists can improve balance abilities and reduce risk of falls at every age. Balance and vestibular rehab can help patients decrease dizziness, reduce their need for medication and improve activity levels.

Learn about Balance and Vestibular Rehab

Vestibular and balance rehab involves exercises that help you manage dizziness and balance issues. This therapy may help people cope with the symptoms of conditions such as vertigo and labyrinthitis. It can also help reduce the risk of falling, improve balance, body strength, and your ability to stabilize your vision. Rehab may include:

  • Balance re-training to safely challenge your balance and optimize use of each of your balance systems
  • Gait training to improve your walking abilities and recommend an assistive device, such as a cane or walker if needed
  • Exercises to improve strength, endurance, and postural alignment
  • The use of infrared video goggles or computerized dynamic posturography (CDP) to evaluate and treat vestibular disorders
  • Visual motor control exercises to stabilize the patient's gaze
