Vestibular Rehabilitation

Lasting effects from a traumatic brain injury such as a concussion, stroke or tumor can have a significant impact on one’s daily life.

Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialized form of physical therapy designed to alleviate symptoms of vestibular disorders such as dizziness, vertigo, balance issues, and gaze instability.  It is commonly used to treat conditions like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), vestibular neuritis, labyrinthitis, and vestibular hypofunction. 

Therapy involves customized exercises aimed at promoting compensation for inner ear deficits.  It is an evidence-based approach proven to improve function, reduce symptoms, and enhance quality of life for individuals with vestibular dysfunction. Common interventions include: 

  • Canalith repositioning maneuvers (e.g., Epley maneuver) for BPPV treatment. 
  • Gaze stabilization exercises to improve control of eye movements during head motion. 
  • Habituation exercises to reduce dizziness through repeated exposure to motion stimuli. 
  • Balance & gait training to enhance stability and prevent falls.

 

If you’re struggling with dizziness, imbalance, or vertigo, don’t wait. Contact Cedar Valley Physical Therapy today to schedule your vestibular evaluation and take the first step toward steadier, more confident movement.

Functional Dry Needling

If you are experiencing pain and the inability to perform basic functions, an acute or chronic neuromuscular condition could be the reason. Functional dry needling is a therapeutic treatment that can relieve pain and increase functional motion for patients and athletes through the stimulation of neuromuscular and motor points via the insertion of fine filament needles.

 

This treatment can be used for a variety of conditions including: rotatory cuff injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis and golfer’s elbows, hamstring and groin strains, shin splints, patellar tendonitis and more. Reduce your pain, increase your functionality and enjoy your favorite sports—all with functional dry needling. Call Cedar Valley Physical Therapy today for more information.
