Balance disorders, vertigo and dizziness affect a significant number of Australians — yet many go undiagnosed or undertreated for years. At Brainstorm Rehabilitation, our post-graduate-trained clinicians use current, evidence-based assessment tools and advanced vestibular therapies to identify the cause and deliver lasting relief.
Not all dizziness is the same. Accurate diagnosis is everything. Whether your symptoms stem from the inner ear, the cervical spine, the brainstem, or a combination — the right assessment changes everything about how you're treated.
How we assess balance disorders
- Video oculomotor tracking: Tracking abnormal eye movements to identify inner ear and central dysfunction
- Positional testing, Dix-Hallpike and roll tests, to pinpoint BPPV canal involvement
- Gait & balance analysis, Functional movement assessment to measure fall risk and stability
- Cervicogenic screening: Identifying dizziness driven by the neck and upper cervical spine
Current therapy advances we use
- Canalith repositioning procedures, including Epley, Semont and BBQ roll manoeuvres for BPPV — highly effective when correctly applied
- Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT): Individualised gaze stabilisation, habituation and balance retraining exercises
- Functional neurological rehabilitation: Targeting central vestibular processing — the brain's role in interpreting balance signals
- Cervicogenic dizziness management: Chiropractic care and manual therapy for neck-related balance disruption
Serving Port Macquarie, Wauchope and the broader Mid North Coast, Brainstorm Rehabilitation brings nationally recognised clinical training to your local community — so you don't have to travel to access advanced vestibular care.
