The Vestibular System includes our eyes, ears, and joint receptors working in coordination with our brain to tell us where we are in space. When this system is compromised you can experience poor balance, dizziness and vertigo. There can be different mechanisms for these disorders of disequilibrium, and it is important to see your doctor for a proper diagnosis. Our vestibular rehabilitation therapists are specially trained to evaluate the cause of each individual’s symptoms and provide the specific type of manual therapy and vestibular rehabilitative exercises to bring the world back into balance.
