Regain your balance with Vestibular Therapy
Ready to Find Your Balance Again? You Can Do So with Vestibular Therapy!
Have you been feeling off steady or unbalanced? If so, you could benefit from vestibular therapy.
Feelings of dizziness or vertigo can greatly limit your daily life, making it difficult for you to perform even the simplest tasks without feeling as if you might fall over.
At Blue Oak Physiotherapy, we offer some of the most effective vestibular rehab services in Abbotsford, aimed at retraining your vestibular system to regulate feelings of stability and balance.
What is Vestibular Therapy?
Vestibular therapy is also referred to as vestibular rehabilitation and is conducted through a process of “adaptation and compensation.”
This means that the vestibular system is actually being “reprogrammed” through both passive and active therapies to form connections with the brain on adjusting imbalances and regaining stability.
At Blue Oak Physiotherapy, we provide vestibular therapy for our patients suffering from balance disorders in Abbotsford and surrounding areas.
Balance disorders refer to a broad range of conditions, but they are all connected by the effect they have on the vestibular system, also known as the inner ear.
Some common balance disorders that we treat through Vestibular Therapy include:
Migraines
Meniere’s disease
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)
Vestibular neuritis
Stroke
Why am I feeling dizzy?
According to Yuri Agrawal et. al., 6 million Canadians aged 40+ experience some sort of dizzy spell or vertigo at some point in their lives (2013). In fact, the second most commonly reported complaint within doctors’ offices is dizziness and loss of balance.
These are both extremely common conditions that can affect your equilibrium, making you feel off balance.
Symptoms can vary from acute to chronic and in some severe cases, they can even be indicators of serious health risks.
