Vestibular Rehab
Vestibular disorders (inner ear/balance) include issues
with:
Vertigo
BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo)
Dizziness
Visual disturbances
Balance
Examination
A thorough examination of symptoms, medical history, medications,
etc. will always be performed to help determine the best course of treatment.
Questions that may be asked during the examination include:
When did the symptoms begin?
Are your symptoms spontaneous or related to
movement?
What seems to trigger the symptoms? (ex. Turning
over in bed, trying to read, unstable feeling)
How long do the symptoms last when they occur?
(seconds, minutes, hours?)
Have you had any recent change in medications?
Treatment
Vestibular rehabilitation aims to reduce or eliminate the
symptoms patients suffer from these disorders through 4 primary methods.
Habituation
Exercises designed to help treat symptoms of
dizziness that are brough on by positional changes or head movements. Example:
turning over in bed or looking up to put in eye drops cause
Gaze Training
Exercises designed to improve control of eye
movement so steady your vision during head movements. These are selected for
patients whose symptoms are triggered specifically with eye movements. Example:
trying to focus on text
Balance Training
Exercises designed to help improve balance,
stability, and reduce fall risk. These are selected for patients that are unstable
due to their symptoms
BPPV Positional Movements
Treatment that includes a series of head and
body movements that your therapist will take you through in order to reposition
loose calcium crystals in your inner ear
Our physical therapists will utilize the
appropriate means of treatment based on the patient's symptoms. Through skilled
vestibular rehabilitation therapy, our patients are able to make remarkable
improvements in their vestibular disorders.

I was very satisfied with my visit with Dr. Favetto. His exam was thorough, and I understood the plan of care. He also picked up on symptoms other physicians have missed.

He operated on my husbands hand and was so great about communicating and making sure we felt comfortable. We really enjoyed working with him and would recommend him.

Explained everything to me before surgery; explained it to where I understood what he was going to do step by step. Super nice young man. He and all his workers are top notch people. You didn't have to sit and wait forever to get in to see them. Any phone call question I had, they was very nice and answered my questions. Checked on me after I got home. I would recommend Dr. Donegan to do this surgery on anyone with ease. What a great team. Thank you sir and your staff for treating me like a person and not a dollar. Folks, I give this review to you from my experience. He or any of his team did not ask me to write this review. It was all me. Thank you Dr. Donegan and your team again. You all are great.

He listens to what you have need of and gets to the root of the problem. I had a doctor before him for 4 years that just simply didn’t care about what my problem was and could have cared less about me being in pain. Dr Denehy got to the root of the problem and helped me and was very compassionate about my pain and was bothering me and did surgery on me and took care of me. I love him he is a wonderful man and doctor I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Donegon was extremely professional and immediately made me feel at ease. All the staff at BGO are equally pleasant and accommodating.

Had a new problem with my neck and after x-rays I was offered an injection in the problem area. Today I feel much better. Dr Lockstadt is very receptive to his patients.

I liked the clear, direct and concise approach. I liked the fact that there was no hand wringing ‘oh, you poor thing’. It is surgery, nothing more nothing less.
