Vestibular Therapy Center in Somerville MA

Vestibular rehabilitation is an exercise-based program, designed by a specialty-trained vestibular physical therapist, to improve balance and reduce problems related to dizziness.

How Vestibular Dizziness Defined?

Dizziness can be described as:

  • Feelings of unsteadiness
  • Wooziness (swimming feeling in head)
  • Lightheadedness
  • Feelings of passing out
  • Sensations of moving
  • Spinning
  • Floating
  • Swaying
  • Tilting
  • Whirling (sensations known as vertigo)

Benefits of Vestibular Therapy

  • Dizziness or blurry vision with head movements
  • Neck tightness, stiffness, and/or pain
  • Imbalance or the need to hold onto objects when walking
  • Headaches
  • Frequent falls
  • Generalized “dizziness, wooziness and foggy head” feelings
  • Vertigo/spinning

How successful is vestibular rehabilitation therapy?

Commonly, vestibular restoration treatment will be the lone treatment required. On different occasions, it is a piece of the presurgery/postsurgery treatment plan. By and large, if patients keep on playing out the activities they have learned, equilibrium and wooziness issues decline altogether or totally vanish.
