Balance/ Dizziness

Vestibular rehabilitation can address or improve most balance and dizziness conditions. Dizziness with sudden head movements causing a spinning sensation often referred to as vertigo is a common condition that physical therapists can treat. This condition is known as Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). Balance can be influenced by changes to the eyes, ears, or feet. If you are experiencing increased dizziness contact us to see how we can help you.

Common Treatments for
Balance & Dizziness Issues

If you feel as though your equilibrium is off or your vision feels blurry, you may be experiencing an issue with your vestibular system. The vestibular system is responsible for determining the position and movement of your head and its relationship to your body. It involves eye movements, posture, and more hand-eye coordination efforts. When vestibular rehabilitation is needed, it’s important to act fast. 

Common symptoms of vestibular issues include:

  • Loss of balance
  • Feeling dizzy
  • Feeling as though the world is spinning
  • Feeling as though you are floating
  • Blurry vision
