Balance & Dizziness Evaluation
Balance disorders are very difficult to diagnose and treat because there is often more than one underlying cause. Determining the cause of the problem is essential for finding the right treatment plan.
Treatment plans are designed for each individual patient based on history, diagnostic findings, and functional limitations caused by the balance disorder:
- Balance re-training – Exercises to improve coordination of muscle responses in various situations.
- Habituation – Exercises to resolve the brain/inner ear conflict and help the brain adapt,
- Visual/Motor Training – Exercises to strengthen and stabilize gaze and eye/head coordination.
- Eply Maneuver – Head and neck positional changes, performed by the doctor, to reinsert the displaced ear crystals causing dizziness.
