What Is Vestibular Rehabilitation or Vestibular System Therapy?
A specific type of physical therapy called vestibular rehabilitation or vestibular system therapy is used to treat vestibular diseases and their symptoms. These disorders can result in dizziness, vertigo, imbalance, and other spatial orientation and movement issues. Vestibular rehabilitation aims to reduce these symptoms, improve balance, and prevent falls through targeted exercises and training.
How Does It Work? Vestibular rehabilitation or Vestibular System Therapy includes:
- Assessment and Diagnosis: Comprehensive evaluation of your balance, gait, and inner ear function to identify specific vestibular disorders.
- Customized Exercise Programs: Tailored exercises to reduce dizziness and improve stability, including habituation exercises, gaze stabilization techniques, and balance training.
- Canalith Repositioning Maneuvers: These are specific techniques for treating conditions like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) by moving dislodged calcium crystals in the inner ear back to their correct position.
