Balance Issues
Everyone has a dizzy spell now and then, but the term “dizziness” can mean different things to different people. For one person, dizziness might mean a fleeting feeling of faintness, while for another it could be an intense sensation of spinning (vertigo) that lasts a long time. A balance disorder is a condition that makes you feel unsteady or dizzy. If you are standing, sitting, or lying down, you might feel as if you are moving, spinning, or floating. If you are walking, you might suddenly feel as if you are tipping over.
There are many different causes of dizziness and balance disorders, including neurological conditions, problems with the inner ear, and even headaches and concussions. Whatever the cause, dizziness and balance problems can interfere with a person’s daily activities. They can affect the ability to work and even restrict the ability to travel.

By incorporating vestibular rehabilitation into our care programs it enhances our treatment programs to improve overall patient balance. Health First will be providing structured therapeutic programs that help patients feel less dizzy and maintain your balance.
