Treatment Options
There are many types of balance
problems, which can be caused by different medical
conditions. The source of many balance problems may
be the vestibular system, inner ear or even joint
instability. We provide state-of-the-art assessment
of these disorders as well as effective treatment
program options. Our company has an excellent
patient education program for balance problems and
stays on the cutting edge of fall prevention
research and treatment.
Treatment may consist of Vestibular rehabilitation
designed to help compensate for a loss or imbalance
within the vestibular system, professional
evaluation and treatment of a hearing deficiency
and/or custom made orthotic braces to
stabilize lower joint instability just to name a few
options. Additional causes of balance problems
include medications, poor vision, gait and balance
disorders and other medical conditions, from a drop
in blood pressure to brain tumors. Should diagnostic
testing reveal a disorder that falls outside the
scope of the patient's primary care physician
referral to a specialist will be recommended.
