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 worried that I would lose some function which would impair my performance necessary for my occupation. I have been 100% pleased with every aspect of the care I received from Dr ONeill. My surgery was completely successful. I have full use of my thumb. Dr ONeill treated me with respect. He knew I was experiencing pain and he was most kind and caring. I highly recommend this surgeon.

Aside from being a phenominal surgeon he shows great compassion for his patients.
For anyone needing a knee or hip, you will not find a better surgeon.

Great dr
He's short sweet and to the point. He's truly concerned about his patients wellbeing. Had CTRS 3 yrs ago now on left hand and I'm returning for surgery on the right. I wouldn't trust my hands to anyone else.

Another physician in her practice insisted I did not have a torn rotator cuff, because it was not visible on the MRI. He grew frustrated with my continued pain and immobility and referred me to her. She felt that I did have a tear and actually found two during the surgery. She listens carefully, retains your information and keeps careful notes. I have complete confidence in her abilities.

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.

The staff is very friendly and makes you feel relaxed. Dr. Hunt has always offered other solutions to surgery and surgery was a last resort. I highly recommend Mr. Travis Hunt. He is very knowledgeable and makes sure that you understand all options. The P.A's are also very knowledgeable and friendly as well. They are highly recommended. I have been seeing Dr. Hunt for my medical conditions for the last five years.

He did carpel tunnel surgery on my right hand in 2009 and I have had NO residual numbness. I started having pain in my thumb joints in November, 2015 and the pain remained constant. I saw Dr. O'Neill in May, 2016. He recommended injections and advised they may be painful. I had them in both thumbs and by the next day, I have no pain in my thumbs joints! I am extremely satisfied!
