Vestibular Therapy for Vertigo & Dizziness in Grande Prairie
What is vestibular rehabilitation therapy?
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy is a type of physiotherapy that helps with dizziness, vertigo and imbalance. Vertigo or dizziness can arise from the inner ear, the brain, the neck, or another source.
At The Garden Physiotherapy, we use specialized equipment, such as infrared goggles, for complete, comprehensive assessment. The purpose of a Vestibular Assessment is to determine the cause of your symptoms and then treat the source. We provide answers to your questions, guidance for management, and/or recommendations for further medical intervention, if required.
We also instruct you in specific exercises to improve balance, reduce spinning sensations, and help you feel more confident moving through your day. If the room feels like it’s spinning or you’ve been feeling off-balance, vestibular rehabilitation can make a big difference.
