People with vestibular disorders usually experience symptoms such as balance issues, visual disturbance, vertigo, dizziness and nausea and/or vomiting. All these issues can be addressed at the vestibular rehabilitation center by a functional neurologist
It is important to note that other problems can arise that seem unrelated to vestibular disorders, including anxiety, reduced levels of concentration and focus, mental and body fatigue. These symptoms can respond favorably to a Vestibular rehab model. This is a neurologically based exercise approach designed to improve the ability to stabilize vision and eye movement function, improve proprioception, reduce dizziness, and modify aspects of postural control brought about by vestibular dysfunction. In other words, it helps to re-train the balance system to make you more stable. The more customized the vestibular therapy is to the person, the better the results.
Why you should Choose Dr. Paul as your Vestibular Rehabilitation Specialist
After spending hundreds of hours on higher educational training and practice, Dr. Paul – a functional neurologist for vertigo and a functional nutritionist utilizes hands-on diagnostic and treatment methods and tools to bring balance to your body. Dr. Paul’s extensive training in the brain/gut connection and use of restorative programs for gastrointestinal function can also help to improve inflammation in the brain which can improve vestibular disorders. The vestibular rehabilitation specialist will take twenty minutes to perform the Comprehensive Assessment of Postural Systems (CAPS) Balance Testing is a specialized evaluation of the complex relationships between spinal core muscles, cerebellar function, vestibular (inner ear), and the visual system. This diagnostic test is one of many tests that your Vestibular Rehabilitation Specialist will perform along with a complete neurological exam to help understand your condition and to provide the most optimal treatment plan.
The CAPS balance test is a simple noninvasive test that measures an individual’s sway patterns from the center of pressure. The good news is that falls can be curbed in all age categories with intervention exercises and therapy. However, to prescribe the correct exercises and therapy, the patterns have to be identified.
By understanding which areas of the brain and body are not working optimally, the chiropractor for vertigo will have a clear understanding of how to balance symptoms functionally and treat the dysfunction. Dr. Paul is also acutely aware that some causes of Vestibular Disorders have to be treated medically and he is highly trained to know when to refer patients to the medical system for care since he doesn’t provide services like surgery or medications.
