More than 90 million American adults experience disequilibrium or balance problems at some time in their lives. Falls are the leading cause of disabling injury in older adults. Dizziness (also known as vertigo) is the second most common complaint from a patient to a doctor.
However, most balance disorders can be treated successfully by using balance retraining and/or vestibular rehabilitation.
Lovelace Rehabilitation Hospital offers a comprehensive balance training and vestibular rehabilitation program for dizziness/vertigo and fall prevention.
Our balance lab is the only one in the entire state of New Mexico offering computerized balance testing and training using the Equitest and Balance Master.
