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 am totally pleased with the care & treatment provided by Dr. Christensen and his team during the 15+ years I have been a patient. I had TKR's on both knees in past year & while the recovery was a challenging & painful process, I am 100% pleased with the results. He was always willing to listen to my concerns and questions. His PA's Matt & Evan are the best! And, Dr Christensen referred me to awesome Physical Therapists: Chris for in-home PT & Bethany for outpatient PT at Blue Grass Orthopedics.

Some medical experiences can be summed up as a staff that serves people but has a low level of respect for persons. This is NOT the case here. Dr. Christiansen reflects his commitment to good persons to serve people, and the person, by the staff members you encounter along the process to see the doctor or his capable PA Evan Hanson. I trust his medical skills, but I respect and equally value his personhood and those of his staff. Bonnie Crandall

I had zero pain following surgery until I started rehab. As anyone will tell you rehab from a rotator cuff surgery is always painful. Because of his skill as a surgeon my recovery and rehab went better than expected. He did an incredible job and I would definitely recommend him for anyone needing this type of surgery.

Dr. Hunt is amazing. He was the 1 doctor after 3 others that found the problem in my shoulder. I can’t thank him enough. Septic arthritis is so painful and dangerous. Thank you for his well trained team for all that you did for me.Dr. Hunt is amazing. He was the 1 doctor after 3 others that found the problem in my shoulder. I can’t thank him enough.

That sounds like a simple thing, but I've found it to rare. And he spends time with you based on your needs, not his schedule. The combination of those two things makes you feel like the most important person in the room, and it shows he truly cares. I would recommend him with no reservations whatsoever.

Dr. Huff is extremely professional and precise. He has been my family’s orthopedic surgeon for about 16 years. We trust him implicitly especially because he gets us back on our feet quickly so we can pursue sports and fitness goals.Dr. Huff is extremely professional and precise.

Excellent results from my bilateral knee replacement. A caring physician with superb skills and bedside manner! Prayed with me before surgery, which I found to be quite comforting!
