Balance Rehab
There are more than a dozen causes of dizziness and many reasons why you might have difficulty with your balance. Treatment of balance & dizziness disorders can be very complex. Nevertheless, we have helped numerous people cope with or recover from conditions that cause balance disorders.
The first thing your doctor will do if you have a balance problem is determine if another health condition or a medication is to blame. If so, your doctor will treat the condition, suggest a different medication, or in many cases, refer you to one of our balance disorder experts here at ERW Physical Therapy.
Education is Therapy
The most important part of treating a balance disorder is understanding your diagnosis, the cause of the problem, and how to manage it. That's why we place great emphasis on patient education and coordination of care with your referring physician.
