Vestibular Rehabilitation FAQs
Q: What is Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT)?
A: VRT is a specialized form of physiotherapy designed to alleviate dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders. It works by retraining your brain and body to better process sensory information, enhancing coordination between your eyes, ears, and body to restore balance and stability.
Q: Who can benefit from VRT?
A: VRT is ideal for individuals experiencing chronic dizziness, vertigo, unsteadiness, or motion sensitivity. It is particularly effective for those with conditions such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), vestibular neuritis, labyrinthitis, post-concussion syndrome, Meniere’s disease, stroke-related balance issues, and age-related balance disorders.
Q: What should I expect during my initial assessment?
A: During your first visit, our specialist will review your medical history and discuss your symptoms in detail. A comprehensive evaluation of your balance, coordination, and overall function will then be performed. This assessment helps us design a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Q: How many sessions of VRT will I need?
A: The number of sessions required varies by individual. Some patients begin to notice improvements within a few sessions, while others may need a longer, more gradual treatment plan. Your therapist will provide guidance based on your condition and progress.
Q: Are there any risks or side effects associated with VRT?
A: VRT is generally safe and non-invasive. While some patients may experience temporary increases in dizziness or mild discomfort during exercises, these effects typically subside as your body adapts to the therapy. Our team closely monitors your progress to ensure your comfort and safety throughout the treatment.
Q: Is Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy covered by insurance?
A: Coverage for VRT depends on your specific insurance plan. At Chartier Physiothérapie, we offer direct billing to many insurance providers to make the process more seamless. We encourage you to contact your insurance provider or speak with our team to confirm your coverage details.
