Are you experiencing dizziness or imbalance? These symptoms could indicate issues with your vestibular system, affecting your daily life. Vertigo, nausea, and vision disturbances are common symptoms, but vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) offers effective treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
The vestibular system, located in the inner ear, provides vital information to the brain about spatial orientation and balance. Interruptions to this system can lead to symptoms like vertigo and imbalance.
VRT is beneficial for various vestibular disorders, including vertigo, labyrinthitis, Meniere's disease, and vestibular neuritis, as well as conditions like concussions and migraines.
VRT begins with a comprehensive assessment to evaluate your symptoms and functional limitations. Treatment may include exercises to improve gait, balance, hand-eye coordination, and habituation to visual stimuli.
The duration of VRT varies depending on individual needs and the severity of symptoms. While some may experience significant improvement within a few sessions, others may require ongoing treatment over several weeks or months.
