Vestibular Rehab
Vestibular disorders (inner ear/balance) include issues
with:
Vertigo
BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo)
Dizziness
Visual disturbances
Balance
Examination
A thorough examination of symptoms, medical history, medications,
etc. will always be performed to help determine the best course of treatment.
Questions that may be asked during the examination include:
When did the symptoms begin?
Are your symptoms spontaneous or related to
movement?
What seems to trigger the symptoms? (ex. Turning
over in bed, trying to read, unstable feeling)
How long do the symptoms last when they occur?
(seconds, minutes, hours?)
Have you had any recent change in medications?
Treatment
Vestibular rehabilitation aims to reduce or eliminate the
symptoms patients suffer from these disorders through 4 primary methods.
Habituation
Exercises designed to help treat symptoms of
dizziness that are brough on by positional changes or head movements. Example:
turning over in bed or looking up to put in eye drops cause
Gaze Training
Exercises designed to improve control of eye
movement so steady your vision during head movements. These are selected for
patients whose symptoms are triggered specifically with eye movements. Example:
trying to focus on text
Balance Training
Exercises designed to help improve balance,
stability, and reduce fall risk. These are selected for patients that are unstable
due to their symptoms
BPPV Positional Movements
Treatment that includes a series of head and
body movements that your therapist will take you through in order to reposition
loose calcium crystals in your inner ear
Our physical therapists will utilize the
appropriate means of treatment based on the patient's symptoms. Through skilled
vestibular rehabilitation therapy, our patients are able to make remarkable
improvements in their vestibular disorders.

Dr Favetto, Evaluated my thumb pain and confirmed the diagnosis that I had received from two other Drs. He was compassionate and informative. Gave me the options and did not push surgery. I highly recommend Dr Favetto!
