WHAT IS VESTIBULAR THERAPY? At Central Avenue Physiotherapy, we provide Vestibular Therapy for our patients suffering from balance disorders. Balance disorders refer to a broad range of conditions, but they are all connected by the effect they have on the vestibular system, also known as the inner ear. The second most commonly reported complaint within doctors’ offices is dizziness and loss of balance. In fact, it is estimated that approximately 1.5 million Canadians suffer from the condition, and about one third of Canadians will experience some issues related to it at some point in their lives. These are both extremely common conditions that can affect your equilibrium, making you feel off balance. Symptoms can vary from acute to chronic and in some severe cases, they can even be indicators of serious health risks. Feelings of dizziness or vertigo can greatly limit your daily life, making it difficult for you to perform even the simplest tasks without feeling as if you might fall over. Fortunately, at Central Avenue Physiotherapy, we offer some of the most effective vestibular rehab services in Swift Current, aimed at retraining your vestibular system to regulate feelings of stability and balance. Some common balance disorders that we treat through vestibular therapy include: • Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)
• Migraines • Stroke
Vestibular therapy, also referred to as vestibular rehabilitation, is conducted through a process of “adaptation and compensation.” This means that the vestibular system is actually being “reprogrammed” through both passive and active therapies to form connections with the brain on adjusting imbalances and regaining stability. If you are searching for vestibular therapy, search no further. We can help you if you are struggling with steadying yourself while standing or walking. If symptoms of dizziness are holding you back from living your normal daily life, contact us today at (306) 773-8313 to schedule an appointment with one of our physiotherapists. Our specialized services will help you get back on your feet as quickly as possible.
