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).
Benefits of Vestibular Rehabilitation
- Alleviation of spinning sensations
- Restored balance

In some cases, it is possible that a comprehensive initial assessment may aggravate symptoms of a concussion or vestibular disorder, so we recommend that you arrange to have someone ensure your safe transportation following the session.
