Where are My Balance Problems Coming From?
Problems with keeping your balance can be caused by issues in the inner ear (also known as the vestibular system) as well as many other medical conditions and injuries.
Balance is a critical aspect of physical function, and maintaining or improving balance is often a key goal in physical therapy – especially for individuals with certain medical conditions, injuries, or age-related concerns. We will assess your balance issues to improve coordination, prevent falls, and enhance overall mobility.
