Key Takeaways:
- Vestibular rehab isn’t just for dizziness. It can benefit people with migraines, POTS, chronic fatigue, neck pain, and even back pain—because your brain’s perception of balance affects your entire nervous system and body.
- “It’s not just ear crystals.” Many clinicians oversimplify vestibular issues as BPPV, but central (brain-based) vestibular dysfunctions are often the real culprit—and they require advanced evaluation.
- Traditional therapy often fails. Protocol-driven rehab may worsen symptoms in 10–20% of patients. Precision matters. Rehab must be personalized, not “one-size-fits-all.”
- Cutting-edge tech is revolutionizing diagnostics. Tools like video oculography (eye tracking), computerized balance posturography, and rotating chair assessments are enabling more accurate, faster, and safer neurological care.
- AI will change everything. Artificial intelligence is already being used to enhance clinical decision-making, track progress, and personalize care—offering faster answers and better outcomes than ever before.
