Vestibular rehabilitation is used for the treatment of a number of different vestibular conditions which can cause dizziness, vertigo (spinning), unsteadiness, imbalance, and/or motion sensitivity. Vestibular problems can come from ear infections, injuries, tumours, aging, head trauma (car accident, falls, impact sports, strokes, brain injuries), illness or disease, medication, blood flow problems or insidiously.
Vestibular rehabilitation helps to reduce your symptoms to help you return to your regular activities, often seeing results in as little as 2-3 treatments. At your appointment you can expect to receive an assessment, treatment, home exercise program, and education about the vestibular system and your assessment findings.
