  THE PREMIER DIFFERENCE

Do you often feel or experience:

 

Dizziness Foggy Falling
Vertigo Fuzzy Stumbling
Lightheaded Woozy Unsteady
Groggy Spins Staggering
Headache Imbalance Veering?

 

Our ability to stay in balance depends on our
eyes, ears and feet working together to help
us move safely. Disorders in the inner ear,
or vestibular system — as well as orthopedic,
neurological, and visual problems — can result
in the symptoms listed above. Balance-related
falls are a leading cause of injury in people
over 65, although people of all ages can
experience balance problems.
 

Fortunately, vestibular rehabilitation is one
of the most successful treatments physical
therapists offer. Premier Physical Therapy
provides customized treatment programs
tailored to the individual patientʼs symptoms.
Read on to learn how Premier can help you
bring your health back into balance.

  PHYSICAL THERAPY AND BALANCE


If you experience dizziness, vertigo or other
balance-related disturbances, you may also
suffer from additional symptoms such as loss
of strength and range of motion, increased
muscle tension, and headaches. These
secondary symptoms also require treatment
to help you regain your function. Our expert
therapists will evaluate your health and design
an individualized plan that addresses your
symptoms through treatments such as:
 

VESTIBULAR HABITUATION EXERCISES
These exercises focus on the specific
activity or position causing dizziness in
order to recondition the brainʼs response.


VISUAL-MOTOR ADAPTATION EXERCISES
These exercises use specific eye movements
to help the vestibular system readapt.
 

BALANCE RETRAINING EXERCISES
These exercises coordinate muscle and
sensory responses for balance control.

CANALITH REPOSITIONING
This procedure treats “ear rocks,” or
debris that may have collected within
a specific part of the inner ear.


Premier Physical Therapy uses the most
researched, advanced treatments to improve
and eliminate existing symptoms, as well as
to prevent future balance-related falls.
Even if you have been living with your condition
without treatment, our Vestibular Rehabilitation
Program can help you regain your balance,
your safety and your quality of life.
