Vestibular Therapy in Ajax: Restoring Balance and Improving Quality of Life

At Body Care Physio & Rehab, we understand how dizziness, vertigo, and balance issues can significantly impact your daily life. Our specialized Vestibular Therapy is designed to address these challenges and help you regain stability and confidence in your movements.

What is Vestibular Therapy?

Vestibular Therapy is a form of physical therapy focused on the vestibular system, which is responsible for maintaining balance and spatial orientation. This system includes the inner ear structures (vestibular organs) and parts of the brain that work together to keep you oriented and balanced. When these systems are disrupted, it can lead to symptoms such as dizziness, vertigo, unsteadiness, and difficulty with coordination.

Common Conditions Treated with Vestibular Therapy

1. Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV): A condition caused by the displacement of tiny calcium crystals in the inner ear, leading to brief episodes of vertigo triggered by specific head movements.
2. Meniere’s Disease: A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of vertigo, hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and a feeling of fullness in the ear.
3. Vestibular Neuritis: Inflammation of the vestibular nerve, often resulting from a viral infection, causing severe, continuous vertigo and balance problems.
4. Labyrinthitis: Inflammation of both the vestibular and auditory systems of the inner ear, leading to vertigo, hearing loss, and balance difficulties.
5. Chronic Dizziness and Unsteadiness: Often related to aging, head injuries, or other medical conditions affecting the vestibular system.

How Does Vestibular Therapy Work?

Vestibular Therapy involves a series of specialized exercises and techniques aimed at improving the function of the vestibular system and helping your body compensate for balance disturbances. Our therapy programs are tailored to each individual’s needs and may include:

1. Habituation Exercises: These exercises help reduce dizziness and vertigo by gradually exposing the brain to movements that provoke symptoms, allowing the brain to adapt and decrease sensitivity over time.
2. Gaze Stabilization Exercises: These exercises focus on improving control of eye movements during head movements, which helps to reduce visual symptoms and improve balance.
3. Balance Training: Exercises designed to improve your overall balance and coordination. This may involve tasks that challenge your balance in various environments and situations.
4. Vestibular Rehabilitation Maneuvers: Specific maneuvers, such as the Epley maneuver for BPPV, are used to reposition displaced particles in the inner ear, alleviating vertigo symptoms.
5. Education and Lifestyle Modifications: We provide guidance on managing symptoms in daily life and making adjustments to reduce the risk of falls and other balance-related issues.
