Vestibular rehabilitation specialists play a crucial role in addressing both the primary and secondary challenges caused by vestibular disorders. The vestibular organ, located in the inner ear, is essential for maintaining balance and equilibrium in daily life.
At Asara Physical Therapy and Balance Clinic, our physical therapists are expertly trained in vestibular rehabilitation, using targeted, exercise-based programs to alleviate symptoms such as vertigo, dizziness, gaze instability (blurred vision), imbalance, and falls.
One common cause of vertigo is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), a condition where tiny crystals in the inner ear become displaced. This can lead to a spinning sensation triggered by changes in head position, such as rolling over in bed or moving between sitting and standing.
To provide precise and effective treatment for BPPV, our therapists utilize advanced infrared video goggles to accurately evaluate the position of these crystals. This technology allows us to deliver personalized care, helping patients regain stability and improve their quality of life.
