Welcome to LifeMark Vestibular Treatments

Most dizziness and balance problems come from a disturbance in the Vestibular apparatus located in the inner ear or its connections in the brain. LifeMark's Vestibular assessment and treatments provide a proven, research-based branch of rehabilitation medicine designed to either maximize the body's ability to compensate for these problems, or eliminate them altogether.

Our programs are tailored to each individual and may include:

  • Maneuvers (i.e. the Epley) to correct problems with the location of crystals (called Otoconia) in the inner ear
  • Habituation techniques to help the brain reduce or eliminate symptoms provoked by movement
  • Adaptation or substitution techniques to improve the eyes' ability to focus while the head is moving
  • Balance Training to address unsteadiness or falls during standing or walking
  • Exploring other contributing factors such as muscle and joint problems, medical conditions, diet, and lifestyle
