Vestibular therapy in Mount Pleasant.
Most vertigo and dizziness is mechanical, and mechanically fixable without medication or waiting. Vestibular rehab retrains the system that keeps you steady.
What is vestibular therapy in Mount Pleasant?
Your balance depends on three things working together: your inner ear, your eyes, and your sense of where your body is in space. When one of them isn’t sending clear signals, the result is vertigo, dizziness, or the feeling of being off without being able to say why.
Vestibular therapy identifies which part is the problem, then retrains it: repositioning maneuvers for BPPV, gaze stability and eye-head coordination work, and graded balance challenges. Dr. Bagley has advanced training in vestibular rehab and concussion management.
Most people get either medication that masks the symptom or a vague instruction to be careful. The mechanical problems behind dizziness respond to specific rehab instead.
Stop the spinning.
Find the cause first; if it’s BPPV, repositioning maneuvers start right away.
Recalibrate.
Gaze stability and eye-head coordination work that gives the system the input it needs.
Rebuild balance.
Graded balance challenges until steadiness is automatic again.
Move without the fear.
A return to normal activity, plus a home program so the system stays sharp.

What does a vestibular session look like?
The first visit is testing: whether the problem is your inner ear, your eyes, your neck, your strength, or how your brain is integrating balance information. If it’s BPPV, treatment can start the same visit.
From there, sessions combine targeted exercises with progressively harder balance work, plus a home program between visits so your vestibular system keeps getting the input it needs.

Questions, answered plainly.
It treats problems with the balance system: BPPV and other forms of vertigo, dizziness, unsteadiness, and the lingering balance and visual symptoms that can follow a concussion.
Yes. BPPV is one of the most treatable forms of dizziness: specific maneuvers move the crystals in your inner ear back to where they belong, and most people feel dramatically better within a few sessions. We test for it directly and treat it if that’s what we find.
No. Even long-standing dizziness responds to the right intervention because your vestibular system is designed to recalibrate. It just needs the right input. Recovery is usually slower the longer you’ve been dealing with it.
Start with an evaluation that finds what’s driving the dizziness.
