Balance Problems

Balance disorders, unsteadiness and vertigo should never be ignored. Balance disorders are often life-altering and sometimes life-threatening, as they can lead to falls.

Falls account for up to 80% of all hospital admissions in older people. Falls are a significant cause of fractures, loss of independence and loss of life. Because of this, all balance disorders should be accurately diagnosed and promptly treated.

Putting your life back in balance.

At Venice Rehab in Venice, Florida, we are specially trained to detect and treat balance problems caused by neurologic and orthopedic problems, as well as inner ear or vestibular disorders.

Balance problems can be caused by lower extremity (legs, feet and ankles) deconditioning, weakness and peripheral neuropathies, including diabetic neuropathy. Regardless of the cause of your balance problem, our experienced, highly trained therapists offer today’s most effective treatment methods.

People who suffer from balance disorders may experience symptoms such as:

• Sensations of dizziness or vertigo
• Falling or the sensation of falling
• Lightheadedness or faintness
• Difficulty with reading or vision
• Disorientation, unsteadiness
• Nausea and vomiting
• Changes in heart rate and blood pressure
• Fear, anxiety and panic
