Description

Vestibular rehabilitation is a very successful intervention that can change a person’s life in as little as one treatment for BPPV, and two weeks for other types of dizziness. This hands-on, intensive course trains clinicians to develop clinical decision-making skills, determine who can benefit from vestibular rehabilitation, assist in therapy diagnosis and treatment strategies, and provide skilled treatment to improve the lives of many. Wrapping up, we will review documentation, goal-writing, and Medicare Functional Limitation Reporting G-Codes, as well as case studies of common findings and problem-solving approaches for the challenging patient.

This comprehensive training workshop includes diagnostic and treatment strategies for:

  • Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)
  • Post-concussion syndrome
  • Vestibular hypofunction
  • Vestibular neuronitis
  • Labyrinthitis
  • Meniere’s disease
  • Endolymphatic hydrops
  • Acoustic neuroma
  • Cervicogenic dizziness
  • Central/neurological dizziness
  • Vestibular migraine
  • Post-concussion syndrome
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • TIA/CVA
  • Orthostatic hypotension
  • Postprandial hypotension
  • Nystagmus
