Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy

Are you struggling with vertigo or dizziness? You're not alone. Millions of people experience these debilitating symptoms due to vestibular disorders. These balance disorders can significantly impact your quality of life and ability to perform everyday tasks. Fortunately, help is available.

Banner Health offers comprehensive vestibular rehabilitation to address the root causes of your imbalance and restore your sense of equilibrium. Our skilled physical therapists use the latest techniques to improve your balance, strength and stability. 

What is a vestibular disorder?

Vestibular disorders affect the inner ear and brain, responsible for maintaining balance and coordinating eye movements. These conditions can arise from age, disease or injury. Common symptoms include:

  • Vertigo (a spinning sensation)
  • Dizziness
  • Balance problems
  • Blurred vision
  • Hearing loss
  • Headaches
  • Neck pain
  • Cognitive changes

Certain conditions, such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), can cause recurrent vertigo episodes. Additionally, factors like high blood pressure and head injuries can contribute to vestibular issues.  

The benefits of vestibular rehabilitation 

Our vestibular rehabilitation program aims to:

  • Reduce vertigo and dizziness
  • Improve balance and coordination
  • Enhance functional abilities
  • Prevent falls
  • Increase overall quality of life

Through targeted exercises, including gaze stabilization exercises and the Epley maneuver (for BPPV), our therapists help retrain your brain to compensate for vestibular dysfunction.
