Vestibular Rehab

The vestibular system is a somatosensory portion of the nervous system that provides us with the awareness of the spatial position of our head and body (proprioception) and self-motion (kinesthesia).  It is composed of central and peripheral portions.  Vestibular Disorders are diseases or injuries that affect your inner ear and balance system.  Dizziness is very common with these disorders.  Many people get dizzy when they turn their head, which can cause problems with walking and makes people likely to fall.  Often dizziness is because of a disorder of the vestibular system.  Early diagnosis and treatment may help people get better faster.  Physical Therapy treatment focuses on eye and head exercises plus balance exercises to help relieve dizziness and improve the ability to walk without losing balance.
