Is dizziness controlling your life?

Vestibular rehabilitation at McCabe and Brady Physical Therapy can help.

Do you experience dizziness? Have you ever felt dizzy and found yourself grabbing onto furniture or leaning against a wall to keep your balance throughout the day? You could be suffering from a vestibular disorder and may benefit from vestibular rehabilitation therapy in Warminster or New Britain, PA.

Each year over 10 million patients visit a physician due to dizziness. Dizziness refers to various sensations, ranging from fainting to feeling weak or unstable. Dizziness is typically a sign of mechanical problems due to dysfunction of the vestibular system, both peripheral (inner ear, vestibular nerve) and central (brainstem, cerebellum), or a side effect of medications.

Vertigo, or the sensation that you or your surroundings are spinning, is another term you may have heard before. Dizziness or vertigo can have a significant impact on your daily life. Symptoms can be continuous or intermittent, lasting seconds to hours. They can happen while you’re standing still, lying down, or changing positions, such as rolling over in bed. Continuous symptoms can have a significant impact on your ability to carry out daily tasks.

Feeling dizzy all day as you try to work and get things done can be extremely disorienting. Vertigo and dizziness, along with back pain and headaches, are two of the most common reasons adults seek medical attention.

How will vestibular therapy help me?

The vestibular system, also known as the inner ear, has a variety of effects on balance. The vestibular system provides vital information to our brains about how we move and how our heads are positioned. It also includes motor functions that are in charge of our overall balance, stability, and posture.

We will conduct a comprehensive assessment to determine the most likely cause of your symptoms and guide your treatment options.

Vestibular therapy exercises are designed to aid in the treatment of balance issues, dizziness, vision problems, and fall prevention.

Manual head maneuvers performed by our skilled therapist may be taught to you or a loved one so you can perform them to help relieve your vertigo.
