Conditions We Treat
At Adventist HealthCare Rehabilitation, you can get care for a wide range of conditions, including:
- Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) – A spinning feeling that happens when the inner ear (the part of the ear that helps you keep your balance) is damaged or affected by a health condition
- Cerebellar dysfunction – Coordination problems that can happen after a stroke or head trauma
- Labyrinthitis or vestibular neuritis – Swelling in the inner ear caused by an infection
- Motion sickness – Nausea or light-headedness cause by movement
Specialized Care for Vertigo
Vertigo is dizziness that happens when an injury or neurological condition affects the part of the brain that controls balance. If you’re diagnosed with vertigo, talk to your doctor about:
- How to stay safe and avoid falls
- Symptom prevention
- Treatment options
What to Expect
At your first appointment, your doctor will:
- Ask about your symptoms
- Check your balance and posture
- Evaluate your strength, muscle tone, range of motion and sensation
- Measure your eye movements when your head is in different positions
There are many potential causes of symptoms like dizziness, balance problems and lightheadedness. Rely on our therapists to diagnose the problem so that you can get the best possible treatment.
