WHAT IS VESTIBULAR REHABILITATION?

Vestibular rehabilitation is an exercise-based program designed by a specialty-trained vestibular physical therapist to improve balance and reduce dizziness-related problems.

HOW IS DIZZINESS DEFINED?

Dizziness can be described as:

  • Feelings of instability
  • Wooziness (swimming feeling in the head)
  • Light-headedness
  • Feelings of passing out
  • Sensations of moving
  • Spinning
  • Floating
  • Swaying
  • Tilting
  • Whirling (sensations known as vertigo)

These feelings or sensations can occur when standing still, lying down, or changing positions. The symptoms can be constant or episodic, only lasting seconds, minutes, or hours.

WHAT CAUSES DIZZINESS?

More than 10 million patients visit a physician yearly due to dizziness. It is the most common complaint of patients over 75, but it can occur in patients of any age.

Dizziness is generally not serious but is often a sign of a mechanical problem. It can be caused by an inner ear disorder, a side effect of medications, a sign of neck dysfunction, or a more serious issue such as a brain or heart problem.
