Many individuals experience episodes of vestibular disorders at some point in their lives. If the vestibular system is damaged, it disrupts the normal relationship of head and eye movements as well as the perception of center and postural adjustments
needed to maintain your balance.
People with this disorder may experience dizziness, spinning, decreased balance, jumpy vision, nausea and decreased postural control. This can result in secondary symptoms including decreased energy levels, frustration and anxiety. Most individuals recover
from a vestibular disorder quickly because the vestibular system is very adaptable.
The vestibular rehabilitation program is designed to decrease dizziness and restore balance, strength and postural control, along with promoting an independent
lifestyle.
