Do you or someone you know suffer from dizziness or unsteadiness or vertigo or balance problems? Many of these problems can be grouped under the umbrella term of “vestibular conditions” and may start appearing after head trauma (motor vehicle accidents), stroke or brain injury, inner ear infections, consumption of certain medications, and after certain illnesses or diseases. Or they may emerge suddenly due to aging, so they are more commonly seen in the elderly population, although people of all ages may still be susceptible to this dysfunction.
Our physiotherapists are knowledgeable with Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy and will go through a detailed subjective and objective assessment with you to properly diagnose your condition in order to tailor your treatment plan.
VRT uses specialized and individualized exercises to relieve the symptoms and discomfort of various vestibular disorders.
For patients with Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), the therapist can position the patient using a series of specific head movements to eliminate their vertigo symptoms.
