Vestibular Rehabilitation

A problem within the vestibular system can result in sensations of dizziness, imbalance, blurred vision and fatigue as your brain is not getting all the information it needs to do its job.  Vestibular impairments can be temporary, or damage to these nerves can also be permanent. 

Concussion Management 

A concussion is defined as a traumatic brain injury induced by biomechanical forces.  Concussion typically results in functional disturbances of brain function rather than structural injury – meaning we may not see physical damage on imaging of the brain, however its function is temporarily impaired.  Concussion research has been vastly expanding in recent years.

BPPV Treatment

Benign Positional Paroxysmal Vertigo is a condition of the inner ear in which small crystals (otoconia) that are normally located in the saccule and utricle of the inner ear become displaced.  When a person moves their head in certain directions, gravity will move these crystals in the canal, stimulating the nerves and causing a sensation of vertigo.

Balance Assessments  

Balance problems don’t always come from the inner ear. Vestibular impairments are a common cause, but factors such as stiff joints, weak muscles, slow reflexes, poor vision, decreased sensation in the feet, Stroke, MS, Parkinson’s Disease and more can all have detrimental effects on balance.

Oncology Rehabilitation 

Cancer treatments have evolved significantly in recent years and survival rates for many cancers are higher than ever before.  Unfortunately, many of these treatments cause significant trauma to the body, and survivors find themselves facing new challenges.
