What Do You Need to Know About Vestibular Dysfunction

Vestibular dysfunction occurs when the systems responsible for balance, spatial orientation, and motion perception stop communicating properly.

These systems include:

The Vestibular System (Inner Ear)

Detects head movement, acceleration, and changes in position.

The Visual System (Your Eyes)

Provides constant visual information to help stabilize your gaze and maintain balance.

The Brain (Central Integration)

Processes and integrates signals from the eyes and inner ear to keep you upright, oriented, and steady.

When these three systems fall out of sync—whether from injury, illness, chronic migraine, or unknown causes—you may experience dizziness, imbalance, motion sensitivity, or disorientation. Even if traditional testing shows “normal” results, functional vestibular dysfunction can still be present and deeply disruptive.

Common Vestibular Disorders We Treat

  • Mal de Débarquement Syndrome (MdDS): persistent rocking or swaying after travel—or sometimes without a clear trigger.

  • Vestibular Migraines: dizziness, visual sensitivity, imbalance, head pressure, light/sound sensitivity, with or without headache.

  • PPPD (Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness): chronic dizziness worsened by motion, screens, busy environments, or visual patterns.

  • Unexplained Dizziness: symptoms persist despite “normal” tests and conventional treatments not helping.

These conditions can significantly impact daily life—affecting work, driving, exercise, social activities, and overall well-being. Many patients come to Plasticity Brain Centers after months or years of searching for answers.

We specialize in identifying the functional root causes behind vestibular disorders and creating a highly personalized plan for recovery.

How Plasticity Brain Centers Treats Vestibular Disorders

Our team uses a functional neurology approach that evaluates how the vestibular system, eyes, and brain process information together, not just each system in isolation.

 

This allows us to identify subtle neurological miscommunications that traditional testing often misses.

Our Vestibular Treatment Approach Includes:

✓ Comprehensive Vestibular & Oculomotor Diagnostics
We use advanced assessments to analyze eye movements, balance patterns, and sensory integration to pinpoint where dysfunction occurs.

✓ Customized Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy
We design targeted exercises to strengthen the coordination between the inner ear and the eyes—improving gaze stability, balance, and motion tolerance.

✓ Eye-Brain Coordination Therapy
Retrains visual tracking, saccades, and smooth pursuit to restore accurate sensory information to the brain.

✓ Balance & Posture Retraining
Improves stability, reduces sway, and rebuilds confidence in movement.

✓ Neurological Stimulation & Sensory Integration
Activates specific brain networks involved in spatial awareness, autonomic regulation, and sensory processing.

✓ Autonomic Nervous System Regulation
Helps reduce fight-or-flight responses that often worsen dizziness, nausea, or motion sensitivity.

Why Our Intensive Vestibular Therapy Model Works

Plasticity Brain Centers provides high-frequency, evidence-based neurological rehabilitation over a short period, allowing the brain to make faster and more meaningful changes.

Patients often experience:

  • Reduced dizziness and motion sensitivity

  • Improved balance and stability

  • Clearer thinking and improved energy

  • Decreased migraine frequency/intensity

  • Greater confidence navigating daily life

Patient Stories

E.Ebner

 

I came to Dr.Kornfeld with serious Vertigo and Dizziness issues which left me lying in bed for weeks at a time. After being diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome almost 30 Years ago I have seen my share of medical help in all fields. Then my husband did some research and found the plasticity center. We called and made an appointment. I truly thought it would be another dead end but what did I have to lose right? So I went in for a 1 week long treatment. It was amazing. Not only did Dr.Kornfeld help me to get rid of my vertigo and dizziness, but I am now functioning at my normal level. I would without doubt do it again if it became necessary. Dr.Kornfeld and Tiegen are an amazing team. Thanks for putting me back on track.I am so grateful.
