Rehabilitation Specialty Programs

Vestibular Rehabilitation Program

The Elliot Rehabilitation Services has a team of highly trained therapists in the management of disorders involving the vestibular system or inner ear. The vestibular system is a sensory system, with organs in both inner ears, that communicates information to the brain about position and movement of the head relative to gravity.

Because the vestibular system interacts closely with other sensory and nervous systems, you may have a variety of symptoms such as:

Vertigo or dizziness
Headaches and neck pain
Motion sensitivity
Nausea
Increased sensitivity to lights or noise
Visual difficulties
Balance difficulties or disequilibrium

Approach

After a thorough assessment, our therapists will work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan utilizing standard evidence based practices to maximize your outcome. Vestibular rehabilitation treatment may include:

Canalith Repositioning Treatment/Epley Maneuver
Balance retraining/fall prevention
Habituation Exercises
Gaze (visual) Stabilization Exercises

Advanced Care/Expertise

Our therapists have received advanced training necessary to manage complex vestibular disorders. We use an evidence-based approach to assure you have maximal recovery from your treatment.
