Vertigo & Vestibular Rehabilitation
If you're experiencing dizziness and balance issues, our personalized approach to vestibular rehabilitation can help you regain stability, confidence, and control in your daily life – step by steady step!
What is vestibular dysfunction?
Vestibular dysfunction, often associated with vestibular disorders, involves issues with the inner ear and brain that affect balance and spatial orientation.
It can lead to symptoms such as dizziness, vertigo, impaired coordination, and difficulty maintaining stability. Common causes include inner ear infections, head injuries, aging, or neurological conditions.
