Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) Relieves Vertigo Symptoms in Little Rock

A head injury, ear infections, low blood pressure, or anything that affects the inner ear or the brain could cause a balance disorder. Many balance issues have no obvious trigger, which can be even more disorienting! One day you may feel fine and the next you may start experiencing balance issues. If you are struggling with the symptoms of a balance disorder or vertigo, our chiropractic care team can help.

1. Vestibular damage can affect balance. The inner ear is comprised of many different organs all working together to support your balance and movement. A tiny problem with the inner ear can throw everything off for your body! Any time that the vestibular organs sustain damage – either through injury or disease – this damage can cause a disconnection with your brain. The brain no longer receives the right signals to regulate equilibrium and balance. VRT addresses this problem.
2. Targeted exercises teach and train the body. VRT is rooted in custom exercises to help you safely compensate for balance issues. Working with our physical therapist and chiropractic care team, you will practice these exercises on a daily basis in order to re-train the body to compensate for vestibular issues.
3. Chiropractic care reduces nervous system interference. Regular chiropractic adjustments support proper spinal alignment and eliminate other potential sources for nervous system interference.
