Vestibular Rehabilitation

Regain Your Balance. Reclaim Your Life.

Dizziness, vertigo, imbalance, and motion sensitivity can turn even simple tasks—like walking across a room—into a challenge. If you're struggling with these symptoms, you're not alone. Vestibular disorders affect millions of people and are a common cause of falls and lost independence, especially among older adults.

At Daviess Community Hospital’s CORE Center, we offer Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) to help you feel steady again. With locations in Washington and Odon, Indiana, expert care is close to home.

What Is Vestibular Rehabilitation?

Vestibular Rehabilitation is a specialized form of physical therapy that targets disorders of the inner ear and balance system. These conditions often lead to symptoms like:

Vertigo (a spinning sensation)
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Imbalance or unsteadiness when walking
Nausea or motion sensitivity
Frequent falls or fear of falling
“Brain fog” or visual disturbance

Our trained physical therapists develop personalized treatment plans to retrain your brain and body to adapt to these changes, reduce symptoms, and improve your ability to move confidently again.
