Vestibular Rehabilitation
At LHMPTI, we understand the challenges and disruptions that vestibular disorders can bring to your life. Dizziness, imbalance, and vertigo can significantly limit your ability to perform daily activities and impact your quality of life. We’re here to provide you with exceptional vestibular rehabilitation services to help you regain your balance, stability, and confidence.
Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialized form of physical therapy that focuses on treating disorders of the vestibular system, which includes the inner ear and its connections to the brain. These disorders can result in dizziness, vertigo (a spinning sensation), unsteadiness, difficulty with balance, and other symptoms.
Our experienced physical therapists, trained in vestibular rehabilitation, will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan based on a thorough assessment of your condition. The goal is to alleviate your symptoms, improve your balance and stability, and enhance your overall functional abilities.
During your vestibular rehabilitation sessions, our therapists will use a variety of techniques and exercises to target the specific challenges you’re facing.
These may include:
Canalith repositioning maneuvers: These techniques involve specific head and body movements to reposition displaced calcium crystals in the inner ear, relieving symptoms such as vertigo.
Gaze stabilization exercises: These exercises focus on improving your ability to maintain clear vision while moving your head, which is crucial for reducing dizziness and improving balance.
Balance training: We'll guide you through exercises that challenge your balance and stability, helping you retrain your body and reduce feelings of unsteadiness.
Habituation exercises: These exercises involve repeated exposure to certain movements or situations that trigger dizziness or vertigo. Over time, they help reduce your sensitivity and improve your tolerance.
Education and self-management: Our therapists will provide you with valuable information about your vestibular disorder, teaching you strategies to manage your symptoms and prevent future episodes. Vestibular rehabilitation can have many benefits:
Symptom relief: Our therapy techniques can help reduce or eliminate dizziness, vertigo, and other vestibular symptoms, allowing you to regain control of your life.
Improved balance and stability: By targeting the underlying causes of imbalance, we'll help you restore your ability to stand, walk, and perform daily activities with confidence.
Enhanced functional abilities: Vestibular rehabilitation can help you regain the ability to engage in activities you may have avoided due to dizziness or imbalance, leading to a more active and fulfilling lifestyle.
Prevention of falls and injuries: By improving your balance and stability, we'll help reduce the risk of falls and associated injuries, promoting your safety and well-being. At LHMPTI, we’re dedicated to providing you with exceptional vestibular rehabilitation services. Our compassionate team of physical therapists will guide you through your journey to better balance and stability, offering personalized care and support every step of the way.
