Neurological Condition

Vestibular Disorders

Resolve vertigo, dizziness, and motion sensitivity with evidence-based vestibular PT.

Vestibular disorders — including BPPV, vestibular neuritis, and vestibular hypofunction — produce vertigo, dizziness, and balance problems. Structured vestibular rehabilitation is highly effective and often resolves symptoms much faster than waiting for spontaneous recovery.

Understanding

What is Vestibular Disorders?

The vestibular system (inner ear + brainstem) maintains balance and spatial orientation. Disorders disrupt this system, producing the spinning sensation of vertigo, persistent dizziness, motion sensitivity, or imbalance.
