Balance Disorders
In essence, balance disorders are a group of conditions that impact an individual’s ability to maintain stability and an upright position while walking or standing still. Furthermore, the primary causes of these balance disorders encompass head injuries, inner ear infections, as well as conditions such as Meniere’s and BPPV, in addition to certain medications, decreased movement, and medical conditions like Parkinson’s and Multiple Sclerosis Physical therapy aims to improve balance, mobility, and strength, and reduce falling risk.
Effective Balance Disorder Treatment
Balance disorders can make you fear doing even the smallest of tasks. Consequently, you may have resolved to avoid movements that seem hard or challenging, and you might have resigned yourself to sitting down for lengthy periods of time. However, while this may reduce your chances of falling or feeling dizzy, it may also result in more health complications like muscle weakness.
Physical therapy has been shown to improve balance, strength, and posture, increase agility, and significantly reduce the risk of falls. Incorporating tailored physical therapy techniques into your plan of care can help you achieve the independence you deserve.
