What we treat Balance and dizziness
Dizziness and Vertigo
Dizziness is often described as a faint or lightheaded feeling, while vertigo is the distinct sensation that you or your surroundings are spinning. Both can significantly impact your daily life and safety.
Recognizing these key symptoms is the first step toward effective treatment and regaining your balance.
A persistent sensation of movement or whirling when stationary.
Upset stomach or feeling of sickness triggered by balance issues.
Unsteadiness or difficulty maintaining an upright posture while walking.
Detailed Assessment
Diagnosing balance disorders requires a precise, multi-faceted approach. At Hoban Physical Therapy, our physical therapy assessment process includes comprehensive vestibular screening to identify the root cause of your symptoms. We utilize advanced balance testing protocols and specialized infrared goggles to observe involuntary eye movements, providing critical insights into inner ear function. This thorough evaluation ensures your treatment plan is built on accurate data for lasting recovery.
Canalith Repositioning
A series of specific head and body movements used to treat Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). By precisely moving the head, we guide displaced calcium crystals back into their proper place in the inner ear, resolving spinning sensations often in just one or two visits.
Vestibular Habituation
Customized exercises designed to reduce dizziness through repeated exposure to specific movements that trigger symptoms. This process helps the brain 'habituate' or get used to the signals, effectively retraining your balance system to ignore incorrect data and improving your day-to-day stability.
