Vestibular Rehab and Vertigo Management

Are you experiencing dizziness, vertigo, or balance problems? These symptoms can be disruptive to daily life, but St. Luke's Therapy Sevierville can help. Our vestibular rehabilitation program offers a safe and effective approach to managing these issues and regaining control of your equilibrium.

What is Vestibular Rehabilitation?

Vestibular rehabilitation (VR) is a form of physical therapy specifically designed to address inner ear dysfunction. The inner ear plays a vital role in balance and spatial orientation. When the inner ear is compromised, it can lead to dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems.

Who Can Benefit from Vestibular Rehab?

Our program is ideal for individuals experiencing:

• Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV): A common cause of vertigo characterized by brief episodes of dizziness triggered by head movements.
• Labyrinthitis: An inner ear infection that can cause vertigo, nausea, and hearing loss.
• Meniere's disease: A chronic inner ear disorder causing vertigo, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and hearing loss.
• Post-concussion syndrome: Can include dizziness and balance problems following a head injury.

What to Expect in Our Vestibular Rehab Program:

• Detailed Assessment:  Our therapists will conduct a thorough evaluation to identify the underlying cause of your dizziness and balance issues.
• Customized Exercise Program:  We will design a personalized program that incorporates specific exercises to improve balance, gaze stability, and sensory integration. These exercises may involve head movements, balance training, and habituation techniques.
• Education and Strategies:  Our therapists will educate you about your condition and provide strategies to manage your symptoms effectively.
• Progression Monitoring:  We will closely monitor your progress and adjust the program as needed to optimize your recovery.

Benefits of Vestibular Rehab:

• Reduced Dizziness and Vertigo:  VR can significantly decrease the frequency and severity of dizziness episodes.
• Improved Balance and Stability:  The program helps you regain confidence in your balance and reduce the risk of falls.
• Enhanced Quality of Life:  By managing your dizziness and vertigo, you can participate more fully in daily activities.
• Non-invasive Approach:  Vestibular rehab offers a safe and effective alternative to medication for managing these conditions.
