BALANCE PROBLEMS ARE A NATIONAL PROBLEM

Serious injuries from falls related to dizziness, vertigo, disequilibrium and balance disorders have become a national problem. Our nation's population is aging and along with aging we encounter balance problems. As part of our mission, we will attempt to make the general public and their physicians aware of the national problem relating to complaints of dizziness and fear of falling.

We have been, and we will continue to, hire the current experts in the field of balance and vestibular rehabilitation. One of our goals is to begin a research program which will provide streams of normative data which will eventually provide for attaining the most successful outcomes possible for patients going through any balance and vestibular rehabilitation program.

WHAT IS VESTIBULAR REHABILITATION

Being "afraid of falling" is an "affliction" which serves to restrict ones activities of daily living and general happiness. Being "afraid of falling" keeps people home bound creating an overall deterioration of one's general health, strength, endurance, and ability to move around safely.

Dizziness and fear of falling takes away one's self confidence and personal independence.
Now there is Help! Your physician and physical therapist can now work together to properly diagnose your individual problem and provide a specialized balance and vestibular rehabilitation program.

What is "Vestibular Rehabilitation"? Specially trained physical therapists are now available to provide individualized rehabilitation programs which directly target the deficits which your physician has diagnosed. The rehabilitation program, directly supervised by your physical therapy specialist, then helps to retrain your vestibular system and brain.

Studies have shown that this type of treatment is EXTREMELY effective in helping to ELIMINATE DIZZINESS and PREVENT FALLING.
