A typical assessment takes about 60-90 minutes. This allows us to thoroughly evaluate your fall risk factors and discuss our findings with you.

Vestibular VNG testing is a crucial diagnostic tool for evaluating balance disorders, offering precise insights into your vestibular system’s function. Understanding the testing process, from preparation to result interpretation, empowers you to actively participate in your balance health assessment.

By familiarizing yourself with the equipment, procedures, and potential sensations during the test, you can approach your appointment with confidence and ease.

Ultimately, VNG testing provides valuable information that guides your physical therapist in developing a tailored treatment plan, helping you overcome balance issues and improve your quality of life.

The duration of treatment varies based on individual needs and the severity of the condition. Typically, patients may attend sessions for several weeks to months. Our team will provide a timeline based on your progress and goals.

Several simple home modifications can significantly reduce fall risk:

  • Install handrails on both sides of staircases
  • Place non-slip mats in the bathtub and shower
  • Improve lighting, especially in hallways and on stairs
  • Remove clutter and tripping hazards from walkways
  • Secure loose rugs or remove them entirely
  • Keep frequently used items within easy reach
  • Consider installing grab bars in the bathroom near the toilet and in the shower

Remember, fall prevention is an ongoing process, and it’s important to regularly assess and address potential risk factors in your environment and daily activities.
