HOW’S YOUR BALANCE?

Do You Suffer From Vertigo Or Dizziness? Your ability to balance is an incredibly complex action that requires millions of nerves, hundreds of muscles, your brain, and your inner ear all working together to stop you from falling onto your face. Many people think having poor balance happens in just older people. However, poor balance is one of the leading causes for sports injuries, chronic back pain and much more. Having poor balance often goes undetected until it is very severe and puts one at exceptional risk for injury. It is even worse for older adults, especially over age 65, of which one third fall each year. People who experience a fall are at increased risk for future falls too. Some balance problems are caused by joint tightness or muscle weakness. For example, when there is a loss of the mobility in the

5 ankle joint and multiple joints of the foot, you cannot adapt well to uneven terrain. Balance is also affected with an injury to the brain like a stroke or a concussion. Vertigo and dizziness can be due to a problem in the inner ear. All these balance problems can be helped with the right kind of rehabilitation. Vertigo and dizziness caused by inner ear problems and brain injuries can be helped by special exercises called Vestibular Rehabilitation. These exercises were first designed by NASA to help the astronauts get used to gravity once they returned from space. We can help you regain your balance, walk and even run better!
