Vestibular Therapy is the practice of assessing and treating individuals who are suffering from dizziness and imbalance. This affects people of all ages and can occur spontaneously and after injury or infection. These conditions can significantly limit your ability to work, play or even allow you to leave your home. Our certified team is here to help diagnose the cause of your dizziness and treat all of these conditions.
