What is Vestibular Therapy
The vestibular system, a complex network in your inner ear, plays a vital role in maintaining balance. When this system is compromised, it can result in symptoms such as dizziness, vertigo, unsteadiness, and nausea.
Types of Vestibular Conditions We Treat
- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV): Sudden and intense vertigo triggered by specific head movements.
- Vestibular Neuritis: Inflammation of the vestibular nerve leading to dizziness and imbalance.
- Meniere’s Disease: A chronic condition characterized by recurrent vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss.
- Vestibular Migraine: Migraine-associated vertigo and imbalance.
- Vestibular Dysfunction in Children: Balance and coordination challenges in pediatric patients.
Vestibular Therapy Process
Our experienced therapists perform a comprehensive evaluation to identify the root cause of your vestibular symptoms. Based on your diagnosis, we create a personalized treatment plan that may include:
- Vestibular Rehabilitation Exercises: Targeted exercises to improve gaze stability, balance, and coordination.

Home Exercises for Vertigo
We’re dedicated to providing you with valuable pre and post-surgical home exercises to complement your in-office vestibular therapy.
Brandt-Daroff Exercises
- Sit on the edge of your bed: Start in an upright position.
- Quickly lie down on one side: Move into a lying position on your side with your head at a 45-degree angle.
- Hold for 30 seconds: Stay in this position for half a minute.
- Return to an upright position: Slowly move back to a seated position.
- Repeat on the other side: Perform the same steps on the opposite side.
Gaze Stabilization Exercises
- Pick a stationary object: Focus on an object, such as a picture on the wall.
- Move your head slowly: Move your head from side to side or up and down while keeping your gaze fixed on the object.
- Repeat several times: Practice this exercise regularly to improve gaze stability.
Brandt-Daroff and gaze stabilization exercises can help reduce dizziness and improve your vestibular system’s function over time.

Dr. Mark has been fantastic to work with these last three weeks. He is extremely knowledgeable in his craft and he is very motivating during our sessions. He truly cares about my recovery and progress and it shows. I have suffered from hip and lower back pain for many years and in the three weeks spent with Dr. Mark I have seen dramatic improvement and see a life 100% pain free in no time.
