If you’ve got dizziness, vertigo, balance problems, or persistent lightheadedness—it’s very tempting to think that it’s nothing, that it will go away on its own. Or, you pass it off as having just “stood up too fast,” or that it’s just “motion sickness” or a bit of imbalance that “everyone” your age suffers from…
There’s no obvious reason why it started, and it’s disrupting your daily life—but the feeling doesn’t seem to be improving!
If that’s happening to you, you’re not alone—and we hear this type of thing all the time. In fact, BPPV, Dizziness, and Chronic Balance Disorders are among the most common problems that we treat with Vestibular Therapy in our physical therapy clinic in Garden City.
Balance issues, dizziness, vertigo, and lightheadedness are challenges many people face at some point in life, and they can be incredibly disruptive. At TransformHealth Physical Therapy, this type of care is known as vestibular therapy. Many people are surprised to learn how closely connected the inner ear, vision, neck, nervous system, and brain are when it comes to balance and stability. When any piece of that system is disrupted, symptoms such as dizziness, spinning sensations, unsteadiness on the feet, or difficulty maintaining balance can occur.
People experiencing vestibular or concussion-related symptoms frequently report dizziness when getting out of bed, rolling over, bending forward, or standing up from a chair. That is why we place a strong emphasis on a detailed, one-on-one evaluation. The first step is determining whether symptoms are connected to a concussion, whiplash injury, inner-ear dysfunction, or another part of the balance system.
Treatment for vestibular and concussion-related issues can include a variety of strategies. Balance-specific exercises help retrain the body to stabilize itself more effectively. Eye-movement retraining may be used to help coordinate vision and balance. Most importantly, we provide a calm, supportive environment where individuals can rebuild confidence in their balance and movement.
