Vestibular Rehabilitation

An estimated 90 million people in America  experience dizziness in their lifetime. A common cause of dizziness and balance problems is from the  vestibular system or the inner ear. The vestibular system is the balance system in the inner ear.  Vestibular rehabilitation is an exercise program designed to help control symptoms and increase function to promote normal activity with patients suffering from the inner ear and balance disorders.

Our program features the Neurocomä Equitest system, a state of the art sensory motor and training system that provides objective data on balance control, enabling our certified vestibular therapist to develop the most effective treatment program. We also feature the Invisionä system to treat those who have difficulty seeing when they are moving, or in an environment that is moving.
