Vestibular dysfunction
The vestibular system is made up of the brain, inner ear, vision, and sensation, and they all work together to maintain your body’s balance. If the system is damaged, the body’s balance is affected.
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)
BPPV happens when the crystals of the inner ear break free and float into the canals. This can cause vertigo, nausea, and balance impairments.
Other vestibular conditions we treat
Vestibular hypofunction
When the hair cells of the inner ear become damaged on one side or both. It can mimic BPPV. PT can help the brain create new pathways through neuroplasticity to maintain balance and reduce dizziness.
Labyrinthitis
Inflammation of the inner ear. Once it’s stable, PT can help retrain the brain and inner ear system to work together.
Vestibular migraine
It can come with or without headaches, but it causes episodic dizziness, motion and light sensitivity, impaired balance, and impaired gaze. PT can help improve the response between the inner ear and brain to reduce symptoms.
