Vestibular Rehab in Hurricane, WV
Dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems treated one-on-one by a doctor of physical therapy. Serving Hurricane, Teays Valley, and Putnam County. No referral needed — and many cases of positional vertigo resolve in just a few visits.
Vestibular Rehab
Dizziness. Vertigo. Balance problems. Feel steady again.
If you feel off-balance, lightheaded, or like the room is spinning, you don't have to live that way. Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialized form of physical therapy for problems with the inner ear and balance system.
Our one-on-one care is designed to restore stability, confidence, and control — so you can get back to driving, working, exercising, and living without the fear of falling. Your program may include:
- Canalith repositioning maneuvers for BPPV
- Gaze stabilization exercises
- Balance and gait retraining
- Habituation exercises for motion sensitivity
- Cervical spine treatment when the neck is involved
- Strength work for fall prevention
- A graded return to driving, work, and activity
We use evidence-based techniques to retrain your brain and body to read balance signals correctly again. No cookie-cutter programs — your plan is built around the specific type of dysfunction we find.
Schedule Your SessionSymptoms We Treat
Inner ear and balance problems show up in ways that are easy to dismiss or misdiagnose. If any of this sounds like you, get evaluated.
Vertigo
A true spinning sensation — the room moves, or you do. Often triggered by rolling over in bed, lying down, or looking up.
Dizziness & Lightheadedness
A foggy, floating, or swimmy feeling that isn't spinning but still leaves you unsure on your feet.
Imbalance & Unsteadiness
Feeling like you're walking on a boat, drifting to one side, or reaching for walls and furniture.
Motion Sensitivity
Riding in a car, scrolling on a phone, or turning your head quickly sets off symptoms that linger.
Nausea With Head Movement
Queasiness that follows a specific movement rather than something you ate.
Frequent Falls or Near-Falls
Trips and stumbles that are increasing, or a fall that shook your confidence.
Trouble in Busy Places
Grocery store aisles, crowds, and patterned floors feel overwhelming or disorienting.
Visual Fatigue
Blurring or difficulty focusing when your head moves, or trouble reading signs while walking.
Conditions We Evaluate and Treat
If you're unsure what's causing your symptoms, that's exactly what the evaluation is for.
BPPV
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo — loose crystals in the inner ear. The most common cause of true vertigo, and frequently resolved in 1–3 visits with repositioning maneuvers.
Vestibular Neuritis
Inflammation of the vestibular nerve, usually after a virus. Sudden, severe dizziness that improves with a structured retraining program.
Labyrinthitis
Inner ear inflammation affecting both balance and hearing. We rehab the balance side and coordinate with ENT when needed.
Post-Concussion Dizziness
Dizziness, visual strain, and exercise intolerance after a head injury — in athletes and non-athletes alike.
Chronic Dizziness (PPPD)
Persistent dizziness that has outlasted the original cause. Graded exposure and habituation are the treatment, and they work.
Balance Disorders & Fall Risk
Age-related balance decline, neuropathy, and post-illness deconditioning. We measure your fall risk and train it down.
Cervicogenic Dizziness
Dizziness driven by the neck rather than the inner ear — commonly missed, and very treatable with manual therapy.
Persistent Motion Sensitivity
Long-standing trouble with cars, boats, screens, and busy visual environments.
Who Vestibular Rehab Is For
If dizziness is limiting your life, this is for you.
Adults with new dizziness
Sudden vertigo or dizziness that has you afraid to drive, bend over, or roll over in bed.
Athletes after a concussion
Dizziness, visual strain, and exercise intolerance that are keeping you out of your sport.
Seniors worried about falling
Whether you've already fallen or just feel less sure than you used to, balance is trainable at any age.
People with chronic, unexplained dizziness
Cleared by imaging and bloodwork but still dizzy? The balance system is usually the missing piece.
Anyone unsteady with movement
Head turns, quick stands, or busy environments that set you off.
People who have been told to wait it out
Dizziness sometimes fades on its own, but rehab is faster and far less risky than months of guarding.
What to Expect
Every plan starts with a full hour, one-on-one with a doctor of physical therapy.
Visit 1: Comprehensive Evaluation
We assess eye movement, balance, coordination, cervical spine function, and positional testing to identify the specific type of vestibular dysfunction — then begin treatment the same day when appropriate.
Weeks 1–4: Symptom Reduction
Most BPPV cases improve quickly, often within a visit or two. More complex cases move through progressive retraining, with exercises adjusted as your symptoms settle.
Ongoing: Recalibration
We rebuild your tolerance for head movement, busy environments, and real-world activity, and add strength work so your balance has something to stand on.
Long-Term: Confidence
We make sure you return to daily activities, workouts, sports, driving, and community life safely — and you leave knowing what to do if symptoms ever return.
Why People Choose Faith in Motion for Dizziness
- A full hour, one-on-one, with the same therapist — vestibular testing and treatment need undivided attention, not a shared room.
- We check the neck, not just the inner ear. Cervicogenic dizziness is commonly missed. If your neck is driving the symptoms, we'll find it and treat it.
- Fast answers on positional vertigo. If it's BPPV, you'll usually know at the first visit, and treatment starts immediately.
- Doctors of physical therapy. Every therapist here holds a doctorate and can tell you honestly whether your symptoms belong to us or to another provider.
- We coordinate with your physician or ENT. Some dizziness is medical, not mechanical. If we see red flags, we send you to the right place rather than treating around them.
- Direct access in West Virginia. No referral required — call and book directly.
- Early morning appointments. We open at 7:00 AM Monday through Friday, before the day gets away from you.
Common Questions
More answers in the FAQ at the bottom of this page.
How quickly will my dizziness improve?
It depends entirely on the cause. BPPV — the most common form of true vertigo — often resolves in one to three visits with repositioning maneuvers. Vestibular nerve problems, post-concussion dizziness, and chronic dizziness take several weeks of progressive retraining. You'll get a straight answer about your specific case at your evaluation.
Will the testing make me dizzy?
Some of it will, briefly, and that's how it works: to find the problem we have to provoke the symptom in a controlled way. Episodes during testing are short, we warn you before each test, and we stop when you need to stop. Bring someone to drive you to that first visit if you're nervous about it.
Is it safe if I've been falling?
Yes. We test balance with hands-on guarding and a gait belt, and we never push you past what you can safely control. Fall prevention is one of the main reasons people come to us, and balance responds to training at every age.
Do I need an MRI or an ENT visit first?
Usually not. Most dizziness is mechanical and we can assess it directly. If your evaluation turns up anything that suggests a medical cause — hearing loss, neurological signs, or a pattern that doesn't fit — we'll tell you and help you get to the right physician quickly.
What should I do during a vertigo attack?
Sit or lie down somewhere safe and stay still until the spinning stops; most positional episodes last under a minute. Note what position triggered it and tell your therapist — that detail is genuinely diagnostic and speeds up your treatment.
Can you treat dizziness after a concussion?
Yes, and it's a common reason athletes and adults come to see us. Post-concussion dizziness usually involves the balance system, the visual system, and the neck all at once, and it responds well to a graded program that builds tolerance back up instead of waiting for it to pass.
Stop letting dizziness control your life.
You deserve to feel steady again. Schedule a one-on-one evaluation in Hurricane, WV — no referral needed.
