VESTIBULAR REHABILITATION

 Upstate Physical Therapy provides expert care for those with symptoms of vertigo, dizziness and disequilibrium.  We can provide evaluation and treatment for conditions including benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), labyrinthitis and other vestibular disorders.  Some of these treatments require only one physical therapy visit for complete recovery.  Others involve instruction in a home exercise program and regular physical therapy treatments. 

BALANCE TRAINING AND FALL PREVENTION

At Upstate Physical Therapy, we understand the issues associated with aging especially those related to imbalance and gait instability.  Our therapists are experts in the assessment of balance disorders and can devise comprehensive and individualized treatment programs to improve balance and maintain independence.  We have expertise with neurologic problems that result in decreased stability such as Parkinson’s Disease, MS, neuropathies and stroke.  We offer screening programs for those who would like a balance evaluation with standardized tests to determine your risk of falling and then provide exercises to improve the areas identified as higher risk.

PARKINSON’S DISEASE

Physical Therapy plays an essential role in the treatment of Parkinson’s Disease.  We have been providing care for patients for over 20 years and therefore have established extremely effective programs to address the multiple issues faced by those with this disease.  These include postural abnormalities, shuffling gait, imbalance, freezing episodes, difficulty transferring and moving in bed, stiffness and rigidity. We have proven examples of the effects of early exercise in the slowing of the progression of the disease.  The treatment of Parkinson’s Disease is definitely an area of expertise for Upstate Physical Therapy.
