Vestibular rehabilitation reduces vertigo, dizziness, visual issues, and imbalance. Your session will include using vestibular infrared goggles, which can help diagnose vestibular concerns by measuring involuntary eye movements (nystagmus). This non-invasive tool will assist your practitioner in determining the cause of dizziness and developing an appropriate treatment plan.
