Vestibular & Balance Disorders

The vestibular system is located in your inner ear and controls your spatial orientation and sense of balance. Vestibular disorders usually cause symptoms such as vertigo, dizziness, imbalance, nausea, or vision disturbances. These types of disorders lead to slips and falls, more frequently than you may think. In fact, in Wisconsin, falls have surpassed motor vehicle accidents as the most common cause of injury-related death. Additionally, the majority of falls happen at home, largely to people above 65 years old.
Fall prevention therapy is a form of physical therapy that evaluates posture, mobility, strength and balance. A home exercise program is created based on your specific needs, with progress assessments every so often to assure your success.

Do I Need Vestibular Therapy?

If you meet the following criteria, you may be at risk for a vestibular disorder and should visit your physician or physical therapist:
​

  • 65 years or older
  • Pain
  • Weakness
  • Difficulty walking
  • Vision changes
  • Sensory deficits
  • Osteoporosis
  • 4 or more prescription medications
  • History of falls
  • History of head injuries

 

How Can PT Plus Help?

Vestibular disorders can greatly affect your quality of life, depending on the severity. PT Plus’ physical therapists have extensive experience in improving balance, strength, range of motion and coordination by crafting a customized treatment regimen based on your unique situation. If you’ve been told you have Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), physical therapy can significantly reduce your symptoms in a matter of 1-3 sessions.
