What It Is

Retraining the system that keeps you steady.

Your vestibular system, centered in your inner ear, is what tells your brain which way is up. When it gets thrown off, from a displaced inner-ear crystal, a concussion, or simply an inner ear that isn’t sending clean signals anymore, the result is vertigo, dizziness, or a visual world that doesn’t sit still the way it should.

Treatment often starts with specific manual head and positional maneuvers, the kind used for BPPV, that guide displaced particles in the inner ear back where they belong. Many people feel real relief in that very first visit.

From there, a progressive, personalized exercise program retrains your brain to compensate and rebuilds your confidence in movement, balance, and gaze. This is Dr. Dhawal Bhanushali’s specialty area, and your plan is built and adjusted by him from day one.

Questions, Answered

Vestibular therapy, no mystery.

It’s a fair worry, and a common one. Certain maneuvers briefly bring on the exact dizziness you’re trying to fix, and that’s actually how we confirm we’ve found the right cause. It’s short-lived and closely monitored the whole time, and most people notice real improvement within just a few visits.

Yes. The maneuvers are gentle, controlled, and performed by Dr. Bhanushali, who focuses specifically on vestibular conditions. We start slow, explain exactly what to expect before anything happens, and adjust the pace to what your body can handle that day.

In most cases, yes. Vestibular therapy is billed as a standard physical therapy visit, not a separate service. We verify your exact benefits before your first session, so there’s no surprise on your bill. Questions before then? Call us at (209) 207-0849.
