Off balance?

If it feels like your surroundings are moving or you become wobbly, it may be a sign of vertigo. The good news? Studies show that up to 90% of people with balance disorders benefit from balance retraining.

At Corewell Health, we offer a special type of training known as Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) that uses exercises to decrease dizziness and improve your balance. In fact, the Corewell Health Balance Center in Grand Rapids is the only program of its kind offering complete balance care. Connect with our specialists who can evaluate, diagnose, and help you get your bearings back.

The science of balance

Supporting you each step of the way, our care team will monitor your progress and adapt your rehabilitation treatment as needed. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we deliver data-driven programs customized for you. Working together, the goal is to help get everyday activities back to normal.
