Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy at Avon Chiropractic & Injury Center

If you are experiencing dizziness, vertigo, or balance issues following a head injury, you may be suffering from vestibular dysfunction.

​

At Avon Chiropractic & Rehabilitation, we provide specialized Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) to help patients recover from concussions, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), and other head-related trauma.

 

Our goal is to reduce symptoms, restore balance, and help you safely return to normal daily activities.

​

What Is Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy?

​

Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy is a targeted form of physical therapy designed to treat disorders of the inner ear and brain that affect balance and eye movements.

 

The vestibular system plays a critical role in:

​

  • Balance

  • Coordination

  • Visual stability

  • Spatial awareness

​

When this system is disrupted, often due to a concussion or head injury, symptoms can persist for weeks or even months without proper treatment.

Common Symptoms After a Head Injury

​

You may benefit from vestibular rehabilitation if you are experiencing:

 

  • Persistent dizziness

  • Vertigo (spinning sensation)

  • Difficulty focusing your eyes

  • Headaches

  • Nausea

  • Balance instability

  • Sensitivity to light or motion

  • Brain fog

  • Difficulty concentrating

 

These symptoms are common after car accidents, sports injuries, falls, and other traumatic events.​

​

​How Vestibular Rehabilitation Works​

​​

Vestibular therapy uses specific, progressive exercises to retrain the brain and nervous system. Treatment may include:

 

  • Gaze stabilization exercises

  • Balance training

  • Habituation exercises to reduce motion sensitivity

  • Coordination drills

  • Gradual return-to-activity programming

 

The brain has the ability to adapt and compensate- a process called neuroplasticity. Vestibular therapy encourages this adaptation so symptoms decrease over time.

​

Personalized Concussion Recovery Plans

 

No two head injuries are exactly the same. That’s why we begin with a detailed evaluation to assess:

 

  • Eye movement function

  • Balance and coordination

  • Symptom triggers

  • Cervical spine involvement

  • Neurological response​

​

From there, we develop a structured rehabilitation plan tailored to your specific symptoms and recovery stage.

Why Early Treatment Matters

 

Ignoring dizziness and balance issues after a head injury can prolong recovery and increase the risk of further injury. Early intervention can shorten recovery time, reduce symptom severity, improve balance and coordination, and prevent chronic dizziness.
