Conditions Treated with Vestibular Therapy

Vestibular therapy is effective for treating a wide range of balance and dizziness-related conditions, including:

  • Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV): A common cause of vertigo that occurs when tiny crystals in the inner ear become dislodged, leading to dizziness with head movements. Vestibular therapy can reposition these crystals, providing relief from vertigo symptoms.
  • Vestibular Neuritis and Labyrinthitis: Inflammation of the inner ear or nerves, leading to dizziness, imbalance, and nausea. Vestibular therapy can help restore normal function and reduce symptoms.
  • Meniere’s Disease: A condition that affects the inner ear, causing episodes of vertigo, hearing loss, and ringing in the ears (tinnitus). Vestibular therapy can help manage these symptoms.
  • Post-Concussion Syndrome: Dizziness and balance issues following a concussion can be effectively treated with vestibular rehabilitation.
  • Chronic Dizziness: Individuals suffering from long-term dizziness or balance issues, often due to vestibular migraines or other neurological conditions, can benefit from targeted vestibular exercises.
