Vestibular Rehabilitation

>90% BPPV resolution with CRP; chronic vestibular dysfunction shows consistent improvement in dizziness and balance.

Very common referral pattern; vestibular dysfunction seen across general outpatient, neuro, and geriatric caseloads.

Billed under balance training and therapeutic exercise PT codes; Medicare and commercial coverage standard; ENT referral pathway strong.

2-day course standard; multiple providers; moderate cost ~$300-600; widely accessible.

High employer demand in outpatient PT and neuro specialty; vestibular training frequently listed as preferred or required.

High when BPPV resolved in 1-2 visits; dramatic symptom relief creates strong satisfaction.

Mostly insurance-reimbursed via referrals; cash-pay niche exists but is secondary.

Strong, mature literature including Cochrane reviews.

Core content in DPT neuro curricula.
