Signs You May Need Vestibular Therapy
You may benefit from vestibular therapy if you’ve been experiencing dizziness, vertigo, unsteadiness, or frequent falls—especially when changing positions, walking in low lighting, or turning your head. Other red flags include motion sensitivity, feeling disoriented in busy environments, or a lingering sense of imbalance following an illness or injury. Some patients also report feeling “foggy,” fatigued, or nauseated during daily tasks.
If these symptoms are affecting your quality of life or keeping you from your normal routine, it may be time to schedule a vestibular screening with our team.

Personalized Treatment Based on Your Evaluation
Vestibular therapy at our clinics always begins with a comprehensive evaluation to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms. Based on our findings, we tailor your treatment plan to meet your specific needs. For individuals diagnosed with BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo), we may perform targeted repositioning maneuvers such as the Epley or Semont maneuver to relieve vertigo symptoms quickly and safely.
If you’re experiencing imbalance or dizziness due to vestibular hypofunction, your plan may focus more on gaze stabilization, habituation exercises, and functional balance training. Each program is designed to rebuild confidence, reduce fall risk, and restore your sense of control in everyday life.
