OCTOBER 2019
A comprehensive assessment by one of our specialists at Dresher Physical Therapy can help properly diagnose your problem. Often, an inner ear problem may be the root cause. This is also known as a vestibular disorder and can be very effectively treated by a physical therapist with special training. A vestibular disorder is a dysfunction of the balance organs in the inner ear. The most common causes of vestibular disorders are a blow to the head, aging, and viral infection. Our vestibular system includes parts of the inner ear and brain that help control balance and eye movements. If the system is damaged by disease, aging, or injury, a vestibular disorder can occur. The symptoms of a vestibular disorder can be truly frightening and difficult to describe. The most common complaints we hear at Dresher Physical Therapy are: RELIEVING YOUR DIZZINESS AND VERTIGO FOR GOOD!

Most common vestibular problems Vestibular disorders have big complicated names but the following condition is the most common and responds well to vestibular rehabilitation: Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is a condition resulting from loose debris that falls into one of the semi-circular canals in the inner ear. These crystals do not belong in the semicircular canal and the result is intense vertigo with certain head positions. This sensation of spinning occurs most commonly when rolling in bed or sitting up. This is a very common condition and while the symptoms are dramatic, it is easily treated. Most people only require one or two treatments to completely abolish all their vertigo. At Dresher Physical Therapy, our vestibular specialists have been specially trained in the proper techniques to treat this condition. People with dizziness and vertigo can highly benefit from vestibular rehabilitation therapy done by the experienced physical therapists at Dresher Physical Therapy. No matter your age, if you suffer from dizziness or vertigo you will benefit from physical therapy exercises to strengthen your balance sensors, reducing your symptoms and risk of falls. Start feeling like yourself again, give us a call today!

Do You Have A Fear Of Falling?
Another 5 Star Google Review of DPT!
“As a physician, I have referred a lot of patients for physical therapy, and I have personally been treated over the years at several different facilities. Having just completed a course of therapy at Dresher PT, I have nothing but praise for Sue and the team at this facility. They were able to eliminate my pain and discomfort and to significantly improve my level of functioning. Sue is very caring, compassionate and knowledgeable, and she devised a program for me to maintain the benefit I received. Members of my family have also been treated at Dresher PT with similar great results. I have no hesitation referring my patients to Dresher PT!” - Robert M.
