How Vestibular Rehabilitation Treatments Can Help You
Have you ever looked up and felt dizzy? Did you ever feel like you had two left feet, stumbled and fallen?
You're Not Alone. Countless Suffer Daily
Dizziness and vertigo are common symptoms requiring eight million primary care visits in the U.S. each year. These are the most common complaints in patients over 75 years old and are reported by 30% of people over 65. More than one-third of those people fall due to dizziness, and 95% of hip fractures result from falls. Patients report these symptoms from all age groups, and now help is available to you right in your backyard!
Professional Evaluations
Our evaluation process has evolved to address the many complicating components of vestibular, dizziness, and balance disorders. Infrared video goggles allow magnification of the eye on a monitor allowing us to see abnormal eye movements while the patient is taken through several motion tests. The abnormal patterns tell us a story about the patient's condition. This information allows us to adapt a therapeutic program specific to the patient's unique circumstances. These individualized programs not only treat symptoms but are beneficial in providing preventative measures.
