Understanding Ear Pain and Its Causes
Inner ear pain, originating from the vestibular system, can be triggered by various factors. Injuries like concussions are common culprits, but specific conditions such as vestibular neuritis or vestibular migraines can also lead to discomfort. These disorders not only cause pain but are often associated with troubling symptoms like dizziness, vertigo, and balance issues, which can significantly impact your daily life. Incorporating vestibular physical therapy is a great option to add to your treatment plan.

What & How We Treat
Vertigo
Vertigo is often caused by BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo), which is a condition where tiny crystals in the inner ear become dislodged and cause a false sense of movement. Our therapists can utilize a technique called canalith repositioning maneuvers (such as the Epley maneuver) which repositions the crystals and helps to relieve symptoms.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
This specific form of physical therapy targets the vestibular system – enhancing its adaptability and relieving symptoms such as imbalance and dizziness.
Muscle, Joint & Posture Issues
Factors such as joint stiffness, muscle weakness, and posture issues can be addressed by our physical therapists to help relieve your balance problems.
Exercises and Education
Our therapists can combine targeted exercises, manual therapy, and patient education to improve your ability to maintain balance and move confidently. This will reduce the impact of vertigo and associated symptoms.
