Vestibular Therapy
1 in 4 individuals over the age of 65 in the United States fall each year and about 40% of individuals in the United States will experience dizziness or vertigo at some point in their lifetime. Falls are the leading cause of fatal injury and the most common cause of nonfatal trauma-related hospital admissions among older adults. Don’t let vertigo or unsteadiness lead to further injury. You can trust the vestibular experts at CORE 3 to improve your vertigo, dizziness and to improve your balance.
