VESTIBULAR REHABILITATION
Vestibular Rehabilitation in Markham
Vestibular rehabilitation is a type of therapy that is used to treat balance disorders, dizziness, and vertigo. This specialized form of therapy focuses on the vestibular system, which is the part of the inner ear that controls balance and spatial orientation.
During vestibular rehabilitation at our Markham chiropractic clinic, Dr. Bennett will work with the patient to develop a customized treatment plan based on the patient’s individual needs and goals. The vestibular therapy may include a variety of exercises and techniques designed to improve balance, coordination, and overall function.
Vestibular Therapy and Rehabilitation Treatment
Common techniques used in vestibular rehabilitation may include:
Gaze stabilization exercises
These exercises involve focusing on a stationary object while moving the head or body. This can help improve eye movement and reduce dizziness.
Balance training
Dr. Bennett may use balance exercises such as standing on one leg, walking on a foam surface, or using a balance board to help improve overall balance and coordination.
Habituation exercises
These exercises involve exposing the patient to movements or positions that typically trigger symptoms of dizziness or vertigo. Over time, this can help the patient become desensitized to these triggers.
Canalith repositioning maneuvers
These techniques are used to treat benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) by repositioning particles in the inner ear that cause symptoms of vertigo.
The goal of vestibular rehabilitation is to help patients improve their symptoms, reduce their risk of falling, and improve their overall quality of life.
The therapy can be effective for a wide range of balance disorders, including BPPV, vestibular neuritis, and Meniere’s disease. It is typically performed over several weeks or months.
