LIVING WITH A
Balance Disorder
Are you experiencing difficulties with your balance?
At Active Rehab Centre, we understand how challenging and disruptive balance disorders can be to your daily life. Our dedicated team is here to provide comprehensive care and effective treatments to help you regain your stability and confidence.
What causes balance disorders?
Balance disorders can arise from various factors, including:
-
Conditions affecting the inner ear, such as vestibular neuritis, Meniere's disease, or benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), can disrupt the body's sense of balance and spatial orientation.
-
Disorders of the central nervous system, such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, or brain injury, can affect the brain's ability to process sensory information and control balance.
-
Certain medications, including those for high blood pressure, antidepressants, or sedatives, can have side effects that affect balance and coordination.
-
Problems with muscles, joints, or bones, such as arthritis, orthopedic injuries, or foot problems, can impact posture and stability, leading to balance difficulties.
-
As we age, changes in vision, muscle strength, and sensory perception can contribute to an increased risk of balance problems and falls.
-
Anxiety, stress, or fear of falling can also affect balance and contribute to feelings of unsteadiness or dizziness.
