Specialized Vestibular Rehabilitation to Relieve Dizziness and Improve Balance
Vestibular disorders can cause persistent dizziness, imbalance, vertigo, and nausea, making daily activities difficult and unsafe.
At Mangrum Physical Therapy, we offer expert vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT), a specialized form of physical therapy designed to help you manage and recover from symptoms associated with vestibular issues. Our skilled physical therapists work closely with each patient to develop individualized treatment plans that relieve symptoms, restore stability, and enhance quality of life.


Conditions Treated with Vestibular Rehabilitation
-
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV): BPPV occurs when tiny crystals in the inner ear become displaced, causing sudden, intense vertigo episodes with specific head movements.
-
Vestibular Neuritis and Labyrinthitis: These viral infections cause inflammation in the inner ear, leading to prolonged dizziness, balance issues, and sometimes nausea.
-
Meniere’s Disease: This inner ear condition can cause severe vertigo, tinnitus, hearing loss, and imbalance.
-
Cervicogenic Dizziness: Often related to neck issues, cervicogenic dizziness stems from cervical spine dysfunction and is associated with neck pain or stiffness.
-
Concussion-Related Dizziness: Post-concussion symptoms can include dizziness and balance issues due to disruption in vestibular function.
How Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) Works
-
Canalith Repositioning Maneuvers: For patients with BPPV, we use specialized maneuvers, such as the Epley or Semont maneuvers, to reposition displaced crystals in the inner ear, providing fast and effective relief from vertigo.
-
Balance and Gait Training: These exercises focus on improving coordination, body awareness, and stability, reducing the risk of falls and improving confidence in movement.
-
Vestibular Adaptation Exercises: Adaptation exercises help your brain adjust to and compensate for changes in vestibular function, reducing symptoms of dizziness.
-
Habituation Exercises: These exercises gradually expose you to movements that trigger dizziness, helping to reduce sensitivity and improve tolerance over time.
-
Posture and Strength Training: Improving core and neck strength helps support balance and alleviates strain on the neck and spine, which can sometimes worsen dizziness symptoms.
