After an injury to the vestibular system occurs, the central nervous system can compensate for reduced function of the inner ears. Essentially, the brain copes with the imbalanced signals coming from the vestibular system by learning to rely more heavily on alternative signals coming from other systems in the body to maintain vestibular balance. This can be achieved through various exercise strategies outlined below. When this central (or brain) compensation occurs, the patient’s symptoms can be alleviated and allows them to return to normal function.

Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy provides functional gains. Patients often walk steadier and faster, tolerate head and eye movement in busy settings, and return to work, school, and driving sooner. Programs can lessen nausea, fatigue, and motion sensitivity, reduce the need for vestibular medicines, improve sleep and confidence, and teach practical strategies to control flare ups, support safe mobility, and maintain results over time.
