Treatment for a vestibular disorder will vary according to the individual findings of the clinical assessment. Your treatment may include a combination of balance retraining exercises, special vestibular or habituation exercises, exercises for visual/gaze stability, a supervised home exercise program, and/or a repositioning manoeuvre for a common problem called BPPV (Benign Positional Paroxysmal Vertigo).
