Vestibular Rehabilitation in Fairview Park: Relief for Vertigo & Dizziness
Are you struggling with a sense of spinning, unsteadiness, or frequent falls? At CHC Physical Therapy, we specialize in Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT)—a clinical program designed to alleviate symptoms caused by vestibular (inner ear) disorders.
Dizziness isn’t just an inconvenience; it can significantly impact your independence and safety. Our vestibular certified specialists use evidence-based techniques to retrain your sensory system and get you back on your feet.
What is Vestibular Rehabilitation?
Vestibular Rehabilitation is a specialized form of physical therapy intended to alleviate both primary and secondary problems caused by vestibular disorders. It is an exercise-based program primarily designed to reduce vertigo, dizziness, gaze instability, and/or imbalance.
Key Benefits of Vestibular Therapy
- Reduced Vertigo & Spinning: We use specific maneuvers (such as the Epley Maneuver) to treat + cure displaced inner-ear crystals.
- Improved Balance & Stability: Exercises designed to improve your “steadiness” while walking or standing.
- Enhanced Visual Focus: Retraining the eyes to stay clear and steady during head movements (Gaze Stabilization).
- Decreased Fall Risk: By addressing the root cause of imbalance, we help you navigate your home and community with confidence.
- Restored Independence: Return to driving, working, and exercising without the fear of a dizzy spell.
Conditions We Treat
Many people suffer from dizziness for years without realizing there is a clinical solution. We provide expert care for:
- BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo): The most common cause of vertigo, usually felt when rolling over in bed or tilting the head back.
- Labyrinthitis & Vestibular Neuritis: Inner ear infections or inflammation that cause sudden, severe dizziness.
- Meniere’s Disease: Managing the balance challenges associated with fluid buildup in the ear.
- Post-Concussion Syndrome: Addressing dizziness and “brain fog” following a head injury that does not self-resolve within 48 hours.
- General Disequilibrium: Feeling “off-balance” due to age, medication side effects, Diabetes, Heart Disease, or neurological changes.
What to Expect During Your Visit
At CHC Physical Therapy, your recovery begins with a comprehensive evaluation. We assess your balance, gait, and eye movements to determine the exact source of your symptoms.
Depending on your diagnosis, your treatment plan may include:
- Canalith Repositioning: Gentle head movements to move “crystals” back into place.
- Habituation Exercises: Targeted movements to desensitize the nervous system to specific triggers.
- Balance Retraining: Challenging your sensory systems to improve overall stability.
