We treat problems related to the following vestibular disorders
BPPV is one of the most common causes of vertigo — the sudden sensation that you're spinning or that the inside of your head is spinning.
Ménière disease is a disorder caused by build of fluid in the chambers in the inner ear. It causes symptoms such as vertigo, nausea, vomiting, loss of hearing, ringing in the ears, headache, loss of balance, and sweating.
Acoustic neuromas, also known as vestibular schwannomas, are noncancerous tumors that grow in the ear, and that can affect hearing and balance.
Ototoxicity is a medical term for ear poisoning. It is diagnosed when you have hearing issues or balance problems due to a high dose of certain medicines. Drugs that treat cancer, infections, and other serious health issues can cause ototoxicity.

Vestibular rehabilitation (VR) is a type of physical therapy that helps people with balance problems. It can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including dizziness, vertigo, and tinnitus.
​
Symptoms that may indicate the need for VR include:
​
-
Dizziness: This is a general feeling of lightheadedness or wooziness.
-
Vertigo: This is a feeling of spinning or dizziness, often accompanied by nausea and vomiting.
-
Tinnitus: This is a ringing or buzzing sound in the ears.
-
Balance problems: These can include difficulty walking, standing, or turning.
-
Falls: People with balance problems are more likely to fall.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to see a doctor to rule out any underlying medical conditions. If VR is recommended, it is important to work with a qualified physical therapist to develop a personalized treatment plan.
VR can be very effective in reducing or eliminating symptoms and improving quality of life.
