VESTIBULAR REHABILITATION
Vestibular rehabilitation is designed to help people with inner ear and balance problems, such as dizziness, vertigo, and loss of balance. One of the most commonly reported complaint within doctors’ offices is dizziness and loss of balance.
In fact, many of us will experience some sort of dizzy spell or vertigo at some point in their lives. These are both common conditions that can affect your balance. Symptoms can vary from acute to chronic and in some severe cases, they can even be indicators of serious health risks.
Feelings of dizziness or vertigo can greatly impact life, making it difficult for you to perform even the simplest tasks without feeling as if you might fall over.
Fortunately, at Revolve Physiotherapy we offer some of the most effective vestibular rehab services in Milton, Ontario.
Vestibular Rehabilitation. What is?
Vestibular rehabilitation, also referred to as vestibular therapy, is conducted through a process of “adaptation and compensation.” This means that the vestibular system is actually being “reprogrammed” through both passive and active therapies to form connections with the brain on adjusting imbalances and regaining stability.
The therapy is based on the principle of neuroplasticity, which is the brain’s ability to adapt and change in response to new stimuli. So, by performing exercises and activities that challenge the vestibular system, the brain can learn to compensate for the inner ear dysfunction.
Balance disorders refer to a broad range of conditions, but they are all connected by the effect they have on the vestibular system, also known as the inner ear.
Some common balance disorders that we treat through vestibular therapy include:
- Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)
- Meniere’s disease
- Vestibular neuritis
- Migraines
- Stroke
For many, compensation occurs naturally over time, but for people whose symptoms do not reduce and who continue to have difficulty returning to daily activities, VRT can help with recovery by promoting compensation.
