Specialized Care
Vertigo Specialist in Valley Stream, NY
For those who do not know, your vestibular system is a collection of small organs within the ear that attribute to the sense of balance and spatial orientation. All movement relies on the vestibular system for coordination and to keep someone upright. Some of the vestibular organs are also associated with the sensory system specifically hearing and sight. Vestibular therapy is a type of exercise-based rehabilitation therapy used for patients experiencing dizziness and problems with their balance. This type of therapy strengthens your central nervous system to make up for discrepancies in the inner ear.
Comprehensive Treatment
Personalized Plans
Specific Needs.
Are you having problems with your balance? Are you experiencing dizziness? When the vestibular organs are damaged they cannot be relied on to give accurate information to the brain, therefore directly affecting balance, motion, and equilibrium. Usually after damage from injury or disease is recovered, the body regulates itself and balance is restored. However, when the body does not compensate itself, VHT is necessary. In severe cases headache, muscle tension and fatigue occur and a specialist should be involved in recovery.
Tailored to Severity
Treatment used will depend on the severity of the condition. Your therapist will develop a personalized treatment plan designed for your specific needs, ensuring the most effective path to recovery.
The First Visit
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy focuses on retraining the brain to use whatever vestibular information is available, along with coordination from vision and proprioception. When you see your physical therapist they will evaluate you and your particular impairments and review your medical history.
