Where is My Ear Pain Coming From?
Pain in the inner ear (also known as the vestibular system) can be caused by injuries such as concussion, as well as specific conditions including vestibular neuritis or vestibular migraine. Disorders in the vestibular system can also lead to symptoms such as dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems.
Physical therapy can play a significant role in the management of vertigo and ear-related balance issues, as well as alleviating pain.

What & How We Treat
Vertigo
One common cause of vertigo is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), a condition where tiny crystals in the inner ear become dislodged, causing a false sense of movement. We can employ a technique called canalith repositioning maneuvers, such as the Epley maneuver, to reposition these crystals and alleviate symptoms.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
This is a specialized form of physical therapy targeting the vestibular system to enhance its adaptability and reduce symptoms associated with dizziness and imbalance.
Muscle, Joint & Posture Issues
Our physical therapists may address contributing factors such as muscle weakness, joint stiffness, or posture issues that can exacerbate balance problems.
Exercises and Education
Through a combination of specific exercises, manual therapy, and patient education, our physical therapists can improve your ability to move confidently and maintain balance – ultimately reducing the impact of vertigo and associated symptoms.
