Balance Exercise assisted by Physical Therapist

Balance & Falls

  • Falls are the second leading cause of accidental or unintentional injury deaths worldwide. Each year, an estimated 646,000 individuals die from falls globally. Research demonstrates that access to exercise and balance training programs reduces the risk of falling and injuries from falls.

Vertigo & Dizziness

  • Dizziness is a feeling of spinning, floating, or lightheadedness. Dizziness, and the balance problems that may come with it, can be caused by many factors, including:

    • Inner ear disorders (vestibular disorders) such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.

    • Injury or trauma to the inner ear.

    • Disruption in the network of nerves between the inner ear and the eyes that helps to stabilize our vision.

    • Conditions such as low blood pressure or low blood sugar.

    • Use of many medications vitamins or supplements

    • Diseases such as arthritis in the neck or diabetes

    • Brain disorders such as Parkinson's disease or stroke

Ascent Physical Therapists implement the Epley Maneuver to treat vertigo and dizziness when necessary (learn more about it here).

If you have specific questions about your dizziness or vertigo and would like to speak to a therapist please give us a call!
