Vestibular Disorders

If you suffer from dizziness, balance loss, nystagmus (rapid, involuntary eye movements), tinnitis (ringing in the ears) or headaches you may benefit from a vestibular rehabilitation program.

Our physical therapy clinics have a well-established program in which we evaluate and treat people with various vestibular disorders including unilateral or bilateral vestibular dysfunction, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and central lesions.

The program includes a thorough evaluation in which we assess the vestibular system, cervical spine, posture and balance. Then an individualized treatment program, including a home program, is designed for you. Visits are scheduled with the intensity and frequency that you need. Many people show dramatic improvement in their condition in as few as two visits and usually in less than eight visits.

If you think you may benefit from this program, consult your physician. (An order from your physician is necessary to participate in this program.)

For more information about this program, please call the Regions Hospital Physical Therapy Clinic at 651-254-2071 or HealthPartners Specialty Center - Physical Therapy at 651-254-7700.
