Struggling With Dizziness or Balance Problems?

After a car crash, concussion, or whiplash injury, many people experience symptoms like dizziness, vertigo, or unsteadiness. These problems often stem from damage to the vestibular system, the part of your inner ear and brain that controls balance.

At Keystone Medical Group, we provide vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) to help patients across Kansas City, Lee’s Summit, Overland Park, and surrounding communities recover safely and quickly.

What Is the Vestibular System?

The vestibular system helps your body maintain balance, stability, and spatial awareness. It includes parts of your inner ear, brainstem, and eyes, all working together to keep you oriented.

When this system is injured—whether from a head impact, whiplash, or a concussion—you may develop symptoms such as:

  • Dizziness or lightheadedness

  • Blurred or bouncing vision (especially when moving)

  • Difficulty walking in a straight line

  • Feeling unsteady or “off”

  • Motion sensitivity

  • Nausea or fatigue with head movements

These symptoms can be scary and disruptive—but they are treatable.

How Vestibular Rehab Works

Vestibular rehabilitation therapy is a targeted form of physical therapy designed to retrain the brain and inner ear to process movement signals correctly. It helps restore balance and reduce dizziness over time.

Our program at Keystone Medical Group includes:

  • Balance and gait training to improve coordination and stability

  • Eye movement exercises (oculomotor training) to reduce visual problems

  • Habituation exercises to desensitize your system to motion

  • Head and neck movement retraining to restore control after whiplash

  • Education and guidance on managing symptoms at home

Treatment is always customized based on your symptoms, history, and specific injury.

Who Can Benefit From Vestibular Therapy?

We often recommend VRT to patients who experience:

  • Concussion-related dizziness

  • Whiplash-associated vertigo

  • Inner ear dysfunction (vestibular neuritis, BPPV)

  • Balance issues after a car accident

  • Post-concussion syndrome with dizziness or fogginess

Many of our patients have been to multiple providers before finally finding answers through vestibular rehab. With the right plan, most people improve significantly within weeks.
