Vestibular Rehab & Dizziness FAQs
💡 Do I need a referral from a doctor? No, you do not need a referral! Vermont is a direct-access state, meaning you can schedule your evaluation directly with us to start your recovery immediately.
💡 Can vestibular therapy help with BPPV in just one visit? Yes. In many cases, BPPV (vertigo caused by displaced inner ear crystals) can be resolved in a single session using the Canalith Repositioning Maneuver. We identify the specific canal affected and use precise movements to guide the crystals back into place for immediate relief.
💡 Will vestibular rehab make me more dizzy? Our priority is your comfort and safety. While some exercises are designed to "habituate" or desensitize your system to movement, we work strictly within your tolerance levels to ensure you feel in control throughout your recovery.
💡 Is vestibular therapy effective for post-concussion syndrome? Absolutely. Concussions often cause a "mismatch" between your visual and vestibular systems, leading to headaches, brain fog, and dizziness. We use specialized neuro-rehab exercises to resolve this mismatch and help you return to your normal activities.
