Vestibular rehabilitation and vertigo therapy in Brandenburg

In Brandenburg, healthcare close to home is particularly important because many people live outside of major cities. Dizziness can severely impact daily life – for example when walking, driving, working, shopping, or climbing stairs. Common causes are positional vertigo, BPPV, vestibular neuritis, vestibular migraine, PPPD, vestibular hypofunction, or central vestibular disorders.

Specialized vertigo therapy helps to better categorize symptoms and treat them in a targeted manner. Depending on the diagnosis, balance exercises, gaze stabilization, gait training, habituation, or repositioning maneuvers can be used. IVRT® promotes the professional training of therapists so that patients can also find qualified help in Brandenburg.

FAQ for patients

Do you suffer from dizziness or balance disorders? Here you will find answers about treatment methods according to the IVRT® standard, health insurance coverage, and how to quickly find specialized therapists near you.

Through our interactive Therapist search On our website, you can quickly find certified therapists in almost all parts of Brandenburg – including Potsdam, Cottbus, Brandenburg an der Havel, Frankfurt (Oder), Oranienburg, Falkensee, or in more rural regions. All listed therapists have completed comprehensive training in vestibular rehabilitation.

Yes. If vertigo therapy takes place as part of medically prescribed physiotherapy (e.g., physical therapy) or occupational therapy, the costs are covered by statutory health insurance (GKV) as well as private health insurance (PKV). Statutory insurance holders only pay the regular statutory co-payment, unless an exemption applies.

For regular billing through statutory or private health insurance, a medical prescription for physiotherapy or occupational therapy is strictly required. Without a medical prescription, many practices can only provide information on preventive services or consultations. In Germany, therapeutic treatment without a prescription is also possible with therapists who hold the additional qualification of a sectoral alternative practitioner (physiotherapy). These services are generally billed privately as self-pay.

The therapy according to the IVRT® standard is based on strictly evidence-based and active approaches. Our certified physical and occupational therapists in Brandenburg use standardized, scientifically validated tests and create customized exercises for gaze stabilization, balance training, and specific repositioning maneuvers for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).

Specialized therapists treat a wide range of vestibular disorders. These include benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), vestibular neuritis, persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD), Ménière's disease, vestibular migraine, unilateral or bilateral vestibular hypofunction, as well as central vestibular disorders and age-related gait instability.
