Balance Disorders

Bringing physical balance & stability back to your life.

Falls are the leading cause of both fatal and nonfatal injuries to older people in the United States. They are also most costly, especially when bone fractures result. Yet balance problems may also be caused by central nervous system (involving the brain) disease, local muscle weakness, substance abuse or environmental hazards.

We treat your balance difficulty by looking at the cause. We then help you avoid or better manage risk factors that compromise your sense of balance and security.

Our treatment is multi-dimensional – ranging from strength and endurance training to vestibular exercises to home environmental modifications and posture education.

You deserve freedom of movement regardless of your age. We have the training, experience and tools to help you fight loss of balance and related problems:

• Visual-perceptual difficulty
• Postural instability
• Impaired mobility
• Lower extremity weakness
• Vertigo & dizziness
• Orthostatic hypotension

We have many years of clinical experience helping people with these conditions. We take a diagnostic approach to every balance problem we treat, because your history and physical results can show even the simplest causes like ill-fitting shoes, poor posture or environment hazards. That's why getting to know you better is also our way of healing you better.

We can help bring back the equilibrium in your life by restoring your basic functional abilities and movement independence. Talk to one of our balance therapy clinicians to learn how balance training and fall prevention can work for you.
