Dizziness and Balance Treatment Options in Denver and Surrounding Areas

At Colorado Ear Care, we specialize in diagnosing and treating balance disorders for patients in Denver, Arvada, Castle Rock, Greeley, Lakewood, and Louisville, CO. Whether your symptoms stem from benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) or another vestibular issue, we offer proven, non-invasive solutions to help you regain control and confidence in your daily life.

What Is Canalith Repositioning?

If your dizziness occurs when lying down or turning your head, you might be dealing with BPPV—a condition caused by displaced crystals (otoconia) in your inner ear. These tiny crystals are supposed to help you sense gravity and movement. But when they end up in the wrong part of the ear, they trigger intense vertigo.

Canalith repositioning is a gentle, in-office procedure that helps guide those crystals back into place using specific head and body movements. The procedure takes about 15 minutes and offers fast, long-lasting relief—without the need for medication or surgery. 

⚠️ Important

Don’t try this at home. Incorrect technique can push the crystals into the wrong canal, making symptoms worse. Our experienced providers at Colorado Ear Care perform this treatment safely and effectively.

What About Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT)?

VRT is an exercise-based treatment that helps your brain adapt to balance disturbances. It focuses on strengthening the connection between your vision, vestibular system, and body awareness (proprioception) to improve coordination and stability.

Colorado Ear Care works closely with local physical therapists in Denver and the surrounding communities who specialize in VRT. While we do not offer VRT in-house, we’ll help guide you to trusted providers for this complementary treatment if it’s appropriate for your care plan.

Dizziness and Balance Treatment Options FAQ

We offer alternatives to medication and surgery with real results for patients throughout the greater Denver area, including Arvada, Castle Rock, Greeley, Lakewood, and Louisville.

While many clinics use the Epley maneuver for BPPV, at Colorado Ear Care, we typically perform the Semont Liberatory maneuver. We’ve found it to be just as effective without the neck hyperextension and waist bending that can be uncomfortable or unsafe for some patients. The Semont also allows for greater support during the procedure, especially for those experiencing severe vertigo.

If you’re experiencing unexplained dizziness or balance issues, you may be a candidate for canalith repositioning, vestibular rehabilitation therapy, or both. A thorough vestibular evaluation is the first step to identifying the root cause of your symptoms.

The inner ear is responsible for about 85% of all dizziness cases, but with the right testing and care, it’s treatable.
