Vestibular rehabilitation therapy for dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders — retraining your inner ear and brain to work together and get you back to steady, confident movement.
Dizziness and vertigo come from specific disorders of the vestibular system — the inner ear and its connections to the brain. We identify the exact disorder and apply the precise treatment that resolves it.
We evaluate your inner ear function, eye movements, gait, and balance to pinpoint which vestibular disorder is causing your symptoms — before we treat anything.
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo responds to specific hands-on repositioning maneuvers — Epley, Semont, and others — often resolving in just one to three sessions.
For chronic vestibular dysfunction, we use progressive habituation exercises and gaze stabilization training to retrain the brain to compensate and restore clear, steady vision during movement.
Vestibular disorders respond exceptionally well to targeted physical therapy. The key is an accurate diagnosis first — then the right treatment applied with precision. We do both.
From the most common (BPPV) to the most complex (TBI-related dizziness), we have the training to help.
Crystals displaced in the inner ear causing intense, brief vertigo with position changes.
Inner ear nerve inflammation causing sudden onset dizziness and balance loss.
Inner ear infection causing vertigo, hearing changes, and imbalance.
Vestibular and cervical dysfunction following a concussion or TBI.
Vestibular migraine causing episodes of dizziness, visual disturbance, and motion sensitivity.
Cervicogenic dizziness arising from the upper cervical spine — often missed elsewhere.
We assess inner ear function, ocular motor control, gait, and balance — establishing exactly which disorder is present and how severe it is.
If BPPV is present, repositioning maneuvers begin immediately — many patients leave the first session with significant relief.
Progressive vestibular exercises retrain the brain to compensate for inner ear changes and stabilize your sense of motion.
Functional balance training translates your vestibular gains into confident, steady movement in everyday life.
