Vestibular Rehabilitation Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is Vestibular Rehabilitation used for?
Vestibular rehabilitation is used to treat disorders of the vestibular system. This includes the inner ear, the eyes, and the brain. Many times, disorders within this region will present themselves as dizziness, nausea, or light-headedness.
The most common vestibular dysfunction treated by physical therapy is Vertigo. Vertigo occurs in about 20-30% of the population, and physical therapy has over a 90% success rate for this condition.
What is Vertigo?
Vertigo is technically a symptom, not a condition. Vertigo is similar to that woozy feeling that some get aboard a boat; it is the sensation that the world around you is spinning.
Depending on how severe the Vertigo is, it may not bother you or it could completely prevent you from performing daily activities. Whatever the severity, physical therapy can help eliminate these symptoms.
What will I do in Vestibular Rehabilitation?
Vestibular rehabilitation typically includes learning movements and movement patterns that are designed to reduce or eliminate the presence of Vertigo. This can include position changes, balance training, and stretching and strengthening exercises that assist in everyday movements such as standing, walking, or bending down.
How Long with Vestibular Rehabilitation Take?
Every person will be individual, and we at Twin Boro are committed to treating patients for as long as they need to reach their physical therapy goals.
However, the standard treatment for vestibular rehabilitation patients is 1-2 sessions per week for 6-8 weeks. This will typically include in-session exercises and discussions with your physical therapist, followed by daily at-home exercises. Your therapist will also discuss daily lifestyle changes that may improve your symptoms and help sustain long-term results.
After your sessions, your physical therapist will discuss exercise plans that you can continue doing at home in order to prevent Vertigo or other vestibular conditions from returning. If a problem persists, your physical therapist will recommend follow-up in-person sessions.
