Vestibular Rehabilitation

 

Understanding Vestibular Disorders

Vestibular disorders affect the inner ear and brain systems that control balance and spatial orientation. People with vestibular issues often experience dizziness, vertigo, unsteadiness, or nausea, which can significantly impact daily life and independence. These conditions can arise from a variety of causes, including inner ear infections, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), vestibular neuritis, Ménière’s disease, or neurological conditions affecting balance.

Common Symptoms of Vestibular Disorders

Symptoms vary depending on the underlying condition but may include:

  • Vertigo or spinning sensations

  • Dizziness and lightheadedness

  • Imbalance or unsteadiness while walking

  • Nausea or motion sensitivity

  • Difficulty focusing vision while moving

  • Increased risk of falls

  • Fatigue due to continuous postural effort

These symptoms can make everyday activities, such as walking, climbing stairs, or driving, challenging and may lead to reduced independence.
