Pain Management
Vestibular disorders often manifest as vertigo, dizziness, visual changes and/or loss of balance. They can also cause nausea, vomiting, trouble concentrating, and fatigue, causing significant negative impact on quality of life. Due to symptoms of vestibular disorders, sufferers are often forced to reduce activity and adopt a more sedentary lifestyle, which can then lead to joint stiffness, reduced stamina, and decreased strength and flexibility. VRT is a specialized therapy which aims to alleviate these symptoms and manifestations of vestibular disorders.
VRT is an exercise-based program mainly designed to reduce dizziness and vertigo, gaze instability, and imbalance or falls. It helps with recovery by promoting compensation of the loss of function that may have occurred due to vestibular damage. VRT teaches the brain to use other systems to substitute for the dysfunctional vestibular system. The goal of VRT is to use a problem-oriented approach to promote compensation, but creating a customized exercise plan individualized to each patient’s specific goals and concerns. Before such a plan is made, a comprehensive exam is performed. Depending on the vestibular problems identified, there re 3 main types of exercise: Habituation, Gaze Stabilization, and/or Balance Training. Our therapists will work with you to determine the best plan to suit your needs.

Vertebral compression fractures most often occur in those with osteoporosis. However, car accidents and sports injuries can also leave you with these spinal fractures. As a result, you may be dealing with chronic back pain or you may even hunch over.
Your vertebrae are cushioned by round discs with a protective outer layer. A herniated disc occurs when a fragment of the disc nucleus is pushed out of that outer layer, into the spine.
Dysfunction or inflammation of the sacroiliac joint, or SI joint, can often lead to pelvic or lower back pain. Since so many conditions and injuries can also lead to pain in the pelvis or lower back, it can be a bit difficult to pinpoint when the SI joint could be the cause.
This condition occurs over the years, as a result of constant motion and stress on the spine. This normal wear and tear can lead to deterioration of the discs of the spine, particularly the neck and lower back. This is something that can and often does get worse as we get older.
Sciatica pain can be excruciating. It can interfere with activities, and can even make it difficult to walk. Fortunately, there are effective sciatica pain treatments for sciatica pain.

If you are experiencing pain in your lower back that extends down to the buttocks this could be sacroiliac joint pain. The SI joint connects sacroiliac joint painthe hips to the spine and helps provide support every time you walk, exercise, or simply move.
