Vestibular Rehabilitation Physiotherapy Burnaby

The vestibular system monitors body position in space and balance through a sensory integration of the inner ear with the brain. This system can undergo changes which give rise to signs and vestibular symptoms such as nystagmus, vertigo, dizziness, imbalance, and blurry vision. Some common causes of vestibular disorders include:

• Motor vehicle injuries, falls, and sports injuries causing head trauma
• Vestibular degeneration (age-related)
• Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
• Neurological Dysfunction
• Impaired Ear Function with infections such as vestibular neuritis/labyrinthitis
• Musculoskeletal injuries

A trained vestibular therapist will properly assess, diagnose, and treat the root cause of the vestibular dysfunction through vestibular techniques, balance retraining, habituation exercises, gazed stability exercises, and a home exercise program. Vestibular rehabilitation restores the normal functioning of the system by decreasing the symptoms and a return to normal life.
