Solutions for dizziness and balance problems.

Dizziness is one of the most common reasons why people over 65 visit their doctor’s office. Vestibular (inner ear) disorders are responsible for up to half of all dizziness complaints.

If you have a vestibular disorder, your normal daily activities and social interactions are often greatly affected by dizziness and balance problems. You avoid being in situations that challenge your
balance.

Here at Orthopedic & Balance Therapy Specialists, we have vast experience and special training for treating balance and dizziness complaints. These may be caused by any number of factors, including:

• Vestibular neuritis • Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)
• Labyrinthitis • Ménière’s disease • Stroke • Concussion • Whiplash injury

Our vestibular rehabilitation program offers a specific form of physical therapy aimed at addressing the cause of poor balance, inappropriate perception of motion and reduced ability to maintain visual focus during head movements. By addressing the problem at the source, we can help you regain normal function and reduce or eliminate symptoms such as dizziness, nausea and vertigo.

We assess the specific problem and treat based on your individual circumstances and impairments Then we employ a variety of proven, effective therapies to correct the problem.
