Vestibular therapy in Virginia Beach.

The room that tilts when you roll over in bed. The grocery aisle that suddenly feels unsafe. Vestibular therapy retrains the system behind your balance, gently, and at a pace you set.

What It Is

Retraining the system behind your balance.

Your vestibular system, tucked inside your inner ear, tells your brain which way is up and how you’re moving through space. When it’s disrupted, by inner ear crystals that drifted out of place, an old infection, or an injury, your brain gets confused signals, and dizziness or unsteadiness follows.

Vestibular therapy is a set of specific, hands-on and guided techniques: repositioning maneuvers for the most common causes of vertigo, gaze stabilization exercises that retrain how your eyes and inner ear work together, and gradual exposure to the movements that used to trigger symptoms.

We start gently and build from there. You’re never pushed further than you’re ready for in a single session.

Questions, Answered

Vestibular therapy, no mystery.

It might, briefly, and that’s actually useful information. Provoking a spell under controlled, guided conditions helps us identify exactly which part of your balance system is involved. We go at a pace you’re comfortable with the entire time, and you’re never pushed further than you’re ready for.

Not quite. Some exercises look similar to things you could find online, but which ones actually help depends on what’s causing your specific symptoms, and the wrong exercise for the wrong cause can make you feel worse. A Doctor of Physical Therapy identifies the cause first, then matches the technique to it.

It depends on your plan: vestibular therapy is coded differently than a standard PT visit, and insurers don’t all treat it the same way. We verify your exact benefits before your first session, so there’s no surprise on your bill. Questions before then? Call us at (757) 742-3778.
