Services
Balance Assessment
Our comprehensive balance assessments utilize computerized platform posturography and reactive balance systems to diagnose inner ear disorders. This 90-minute evaluation examines the complex interaction between your visual, vestibular, and somatosensory systems. Our specialists create customized rehabilitation plans based on advanced diagnostic findings to improve stability and reduce fall risks.
Hearing Examinations
We conduct thorough computerized hearing tests in sound-controlled environments to detect auditory impairments. Our evaluations include tympanometry, pure-tone testing, and speech recognition assessments. Patients receive detailed reports explaining their hearing profile and recommendations for appropriate interventions like hearing aids or medical referrals.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Specialized treatment programs address vertigo and balance disorders through targeted exercises and manual techniques. Our therapists use videonystagmography and rotational chair testing to identify specific vestibular dysfunctions. Treatment includes gaze stabilization exercises and habituation techniques to reduce dizziness symptoms and improve functional mobility.
Hearing Aid Fittings
We offer comprehensive hearing aid consultations with device selections from top manufacturers like Signia and Phonak. Our fitting process includes real-ear measurements and personalized programming to optimize sound quality. Patients receive ongoing support for device maintenance and auditory adaptation through follow-up appointments and adjustment sessions.
Gait Analysis
Our biomechanical evaluations use high-speed infrared cameras to analyze walking and running patterns. Physical therapists assess joint mechanics, muscle activation, and postural control during dynamic movements. The 60-minute session includes strength and flexibility testing followed by customized exercise programs to improve efficiency and prevent sports-related injuries.
