Vestibular therapy and concussion:

If you suffer from dizziness or vertigo, you may benefit from a kind of rehabilitation known as vestibular physical therapy. Vestibular physical therapy is a specialized treatment that can assist you in recovering from dizziness, unsteadiness, or vertigo. It can help you recover fast and resume normal functioning without dizzy episodes.

What is the Vestibular System:

The vestibular system is part of your inner ear. It includes the three canals called the vestibular canals and the balance (or equilibrium) nerves. These nerves can detect movements of the head, body, and eyes.

The vestibular system helps maintain your sense of balance. It also helps you find your direction in space.

The vestibular system transmits information about your head and body movements to your brain. It also receives information from the visual system and body senses, such as touch and position sense.

Your brain uses this information to keep your body stable in space. It helps you maintain balance and direction during movement.

What is Vestibular Physical Therapy?

Vestibular physical therapy is a specialized type of physical therapy that has been specifically developed to treat dizziness and vertigo.

A physical therapist can help you with dizziness, vertigo, or unsteadiness.

Vestibular physical therapists are very knowledgeable about how the inner ear and the brain work. They are also very good at treating dizziness, unsteadiness, and vertigo. With their help, you can understand what is causing your dizziness and learn ways to control it. Because vestibular physical therapy is so specific, it works quickly and gets great results.
