  THE PREMIER DIFFERENCE

Do you often feel or experience:

 

Dizziness Foggy Falling
Vertigo Fuzzy Stumbling
Lightheaded Woozy Unsteady
Groggy Spins Staggering
Headache Imbalance Veering?

 

Our ability to stay in balance depends on our eyes, ears and feet working together to help us move safely. Disorders in the inner ear, or vestibular system — as well as orthopedic, neurological, and visual problems — can result in the symptoms listed above. Balance-related falls are a leading cause of injury in people over 65, although people of all ages can experience balance problems.
 

Fortunately, vestibular rehabilitation is one of the most successful treatments physical therapists offer. Premier Physical Therapy of Jacksonville provides customized treatment programs tailored to the individual patientʼs symptoms. Read on to learn how Premier can help you bring your health back into balance.

  PHYSICAL THERAPY AND BALANCE

If you experience dizziness, vertigo or other balance-related disturbances, you may also suffer from additional symptoms such as loss of strength and range of motion, increased muscle tension, and headaches. These secondary symptoms also require treatment to help you regain your function. Our expert therapists will evaluate your health and design an individualized plan that addresses your symptoms through treatments such as:
 

VESTIBULAR HABITUATION EXERCISES
These exercises focus on the specific activity or position causing dizziness in order to recondition the brainʼs response.


VISUAL-MOTOR ADAPTATION EXERCISES
These exercises use specific eye movements to help the vestibular system readapt.
 

BALANCE RETRAINING EXERCISES
These exercises coordinate muscle and sensory responses for balance control.

CANALITH REPOSITIONING
This procedure treats “ear rocks,” or debris that may have collected within a specific part of the inner ear.


Premier Physical Therapy of Jacksonville uses the most researched, advanced treatments to improve and eliminate existing symptoms, as well as to prevent future balance-related falls. Even if you have been living with your condition without treatment, our Vestibular Rehabilitation Program can help you regain your balance, your safety and your quality of life.
