Vertigo and dizziness are symptoms of a vestibular balance disorder. Balance disorders can strike at any age, but are most common as you get older.
Your ear is a complex system of bone and cartilage. Within it is a network of canals that are filled with fluid. The position of the fluid changes with movement. A sensor in the ear then sends the information to your brain to contribute to your sense of balance. These and other delicate pieces make up the vestibular system.
Vestibular rehabilitation is an exercise-based program, designed by a specialty-trained vestibular physical therapist, to improve balance and reduce problems related to dizziness.
Patients typically are diagnosed with dizziness, imbalance, vertigo, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), neck-related dizziness and migraines.
