Balance disorders are not something to be ignored, as they can lead to falls and cause serious injuries. With proper treatment and management, you can avoid hospitalization and further complications.
Balance disorders can develop after an injury, or as the result of a disease that affects your:
- Inner ear
- Eyes
- Joints
- Muscles
- Nervous System
- Or any such structures that affect your balance.
Your cognitive function also has a big role in managing your balance so neurology can play a part in balance disorders as well.
Working with a physical therapist can help improve your balance. Because physical therapists are experts in movement, they can spot potential problems with your strength and posture that could be contributing to your balance issues. They will develop a personalized treatment plan based on your specific balance issues. Treatment can include:
- Specific exercises to strengthen weakened muscles
- Gait training to improve stability
- Stretches to help with flexibility
- Changes to your footwear
Physical therapists can even make recommendations for any assistive aids or coping strategies that can help you through any dizzy spells.
