9. Rehabilitation - Treatment
A doctor may not be able to correct the root cause of vestibular neuronitis. While medications are useful at controlling symptoms, a physician may recommend a patient undergo a rehabilitation program, in addition to, or instead of, taking medication.
During rehab, patients undergo a thorough evaluation of their legs, eyes, ears and entire body. The therapist may have the individual perform exercises that help with balance. For instance, the individual may need to stand on one leg and try to balance.
