Vestibular Therapy Milton, Oakville, Burlington, ON

Vestibular Therapy

The second most commonly reported complaint within doctors’ offices is dizziness and loss of balance. It is estimated that approximately 1.5 million Canadians suffer from vertigo, and about one third of Canadians will experience some issues related to it.  These are both extremely common conditions that can affect your equilibrium, making you feel off balance. Symptoms can vary from acute to chronic and in some severe cases, they can even be indicators of serious health risks. 

Feelings of dizziness or vertigo can greatly limit your daily life, making it difficult for you to perform even the simplest tasks without feeling as if you might fall over. Fortunately, at MEX Physio we offer some of the most effective vestibular rehab services in Milton, Oakville, Burlington, ON, aimed at retraining your vestibular system to regulate feelings of stability and balance.  

What is vestibular therapy?

At MEX Physio, we provide vestibular therapy for our patients suffering from balance disorders in Milton, Oakville, Burlington, ON and surrounding areas. Balance disorders refer to a broad range of conditions, but they are all connected by the effect they have on the vestibular system, also known as the inner ear.

Some common balance disorders that we treat through vestibular therapy include:

  • Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)
  • Meniere’s disease
  • Vestibular neuritis
  • Migraines
  • Concussions (MTBI)

Vestibular therapy, also referred to as vestibular rehabilitation, is conducted through a process of “adaptation and compensation.” This means that the vestibular system is actually being “reprogrammed” through both passive and active therapies to form connections with the brain on adjusting imbalances and regaining stability.
