I had an acute vertigo problem and through the google reviews started my vestibular therapy at the Determination Physical Therapy. I found Dr. Simkhayev and his staff very professional, client oriented, helpful and very attentive. Dr. Simkhayev did a variety of exercises, always checking that I was doing them right and was comfortable. There is always a staff accompanying me when I do exercises, consequently giving you a great sense of security. The doctor also showed me techniques on how I could continue my exercises at home. The facility is clean with modern equipment and the timing of appointments are also very much respected.

I have been seen by many different physical therapist, Dr Yaakov hands down is the best. He is extremely attentive with each of his patients, very patient and caring. I have had knee pain consecutively for 3 weeks with no relief. 3 sessions in and I’m able to walk normally again. I HIGHLY recommended him as a physical therapist! The staff is awesome, very respectful and super kind, the office is clean and always put together. The wait time is less than 10 mins. He is truly a blessing to the forest hills health and wellness community!

Common Vestibular Disorders

Vestibular disorders can significantly impact your daily life, making it difficult to stay active or feel confident. Whether caused by a head injury, inner ear issue, or aging, understanding the common vestibular conditions can help guide you to the right treatment. At Determination Physical Therapy, we specialize in treating the following vestibular conditions:

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)

A common cause of vertigo that occurs when calcium crystals in the inner ear become dislodged. Therapy focuses on repositioning the crystals to reduce dizziness.

Meniere’s Disease

A disorder that leads to episodes of vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus. Our therapy helps manage symptoms and improve balance during episodes.

Vestibular Neuritis/Labyrinthitis

Inflammation of the inner ear can cause vertigo and balance issues. Therapy can help reduce symptoms and speed up recovery.

Post-Concussion Syndrome

Many people experience vestibular issues after a concussion. Our therapy helps restore balance, reduce dizziness, and assist with recovery after a head injury.
