Stop the Spinning:
Expert Vestibular Therapy
Specialized care for Vertigo, Dizziness, and Balance Disorders.
Feeling dizzy, off-balance, or afraid of falling is not something you have to live with.
When your inner ear, vision, and brain are not working together, movement can feel unsafe. Vestibular therapy focuses on restoring that connection so you can move with confidence again.
Why Dizziness Gets Missed
Dizziness is often brushed off as “getting older” or something you just learn to tolerate. In reality, symptoms like spinning, fogginess, or unsteadiness usually come from a treatable problem within the vestibular system, the visual system, or how the brain processes movement.
At FAM Rehabilitation, we specialize in identifying the cause of your symptoms and addressing it directly, not guessing or handing you generic balance exercises.
Symptoms We Commonly Treat
Vertigo: A spinning sensation, even when you are still.
BPPV: Dizziness triggered by specific head movements such as rolling over in bed or looking up caused by otolith crystals becoming dislodged in the inner ear.
Persistent dizziness or lightheadedness: Feeling off, foggy, or unsteady.
Cervicogenic Dizziness: Dizziness caused by cervical spine dysfunction.
Post-concussion balance issues: Ongoing dizziness or visual problems after a head injury.
Gait unsteadiness: Fear of falling, especially on uneven surfaces or in busy environments.
How Vestibular Therapy Works at FAM
A focused evaluation, not guesswork
Your care starts with a specialized vestibular evaluation to identify what is actually causing your symptoms. The type of dizziness matters, and the treatment depends on the diagnosis.Canalith repositioning
If BPPV is identified, we use precise head and body movements to reposition inner ear crystals that are causing symptoms. Many patients experience significant improvement once the correct maneuver is applied, depending on the type and complexity.Gaze stabilization
These exercises improve how your eyes and brain work together during head movement, reducing blurriness, lag, and visual discomfort.Habituation exercises
For movement-triggered dizziness, we gradually and safely expose your nervous system to specific motions so symptoms decrease over time.Balance retraining
We address how your brain uses information from your feet, vision, and inner ear to improve stability and reduce fall risk during daily activities.
Why Choose FAM for Vestibular Care?
Many clinics approach dizziness as a muscle or joint issue. At FAM, care is directed by neurological expertise. We assess and treat the vestibular system, visual system, and sensory processing together so your plan is complete and individualized.
Sessions are always one-on-one, and your plan evolves based on how your nervous system responds, not a preset exercise sheet.
