BALANCE AND VERTIGO

Does Physical Therapy help people with dizziness (vertigo) and/or balance problems?YES! Vertigo and balance issues can be caused by a number of factors. Using sophisticated technology such as the NeuroCom Balance Master system and other assessments, we can determine the cause of your difficulties related to balance and vertigo. Once identified these causes can be addressed and corrected restoring your ability to move and function safely. How does it work? The NeuroCom Balance system is an advanced diagnostic system that differentiates between the sensory, motor and adaptive components of a balance problem. It is the "Gold Standard" of balance assessment. Determining the reason for your problem is the key toward restoring your balance and eliminating dizziness. Effectiveness Falls in adults are at an all time high. More than 30% of adults over the age of 65 and 50% of adults over the age of 80 will fall this year. Using our advanced assessment techniques, we can reduce or even eliminate the risk factors for falling. For community-dwelling older adults, a progressive exercise program that focuses on moderate to high-intensity balance exercises appears to be one of the most effective interventions to prevent falls.

In addition many of the symptoms of concussion can be mitigated using the NeuroCom Balance system.
