Vestibular rehabilitation, also known as vestibular rehabilitation therapy, is a specialized form of physical therapy used to treat vestibular disorders or symptoms, characterized by dizziness, vertigo, imbalance, and disturbed posture and vision. These primary symptoms can produce secondary symptoms such as nausea, fatigue and difficulty concentrating, and can significantly decrease quality of life, introducing anxiety and depression and greatly impairing an individual by causing decreased mobility, weaker muscles, less flexible joints and worsened stamina. Vestibular rehabilitation therapy can be used together with cognitive behavioral therapy to reduce the anxiety and depression that can result from the change in lifestyle.
Facts
FAQs
Is vestibular rehabilitation needed after an inner ear infection?
Only when balance problems last long after the infection; the exercises can help restore balance and ease dizziness.
Usually not at first. The NHS says inner ear infections that upset balance mostly get better on their own within a few weeks, but balance problems can sometimes last much longer. For those lasting problems it describes vestibular rehabilitation as a series of exercises that can help restore balance and ease dizziness, nausea and anxiety.
