Vestibular rehabilitation therapy involves working alongside a physical therapist to help eliminate or diminish the effects of having a vestibular disorder. Once it is confirmed that you have a vestibular disorder, your physical therapist will create a care plan with you that will help alleviate your symptoms and plans to improve your diagnosis. A common form of treatment for a vestibular disorder is having a physical therapist perform manual head maneuvers on the patient to allow for restored blood flow to the ear canal, which can help alleviate any inflammation or swelling that may be occurring. Another form of treatment a physical therapist helps a patient with is by providing progressive exercises that are designed to help alleviate symptoms of dizziness and vertigo. The ears are known to help balance the body via equilibrium, and when the equilibrium is disturbed, a person’s balance is disturbed. Other types of therapy for vestibular disorders can involve the use of medication. If you, or someone you know who may be experiencing side effects from a vestibular disorder, reach out to the team at Progressive Physical therapy to learn more about how physical therapy could be something you may benefit from.
