Intro:
You might not think about it often, but your vestibular system is working constantly — keeping you balanced, oriented, and visually stable as you move through the world.
What Is the Vestibular System?
The vestibular system is located deep inside your inner ear, made up of tiny structures filled with fluid and sensory cells. These detect motion and send signals to your brain about your body’s position and movement.
This system allows your eyes, muscles, and joints to work together, helping you stay balanced and focused — even when the world is in motion.
Everyday Examples
You rely on your vestibular system when:
- You spot a new restaurant while driving without your vision blurring.
- You follow your favorite player during a fast-paced game.
- You catch yourself from falling after tripping on the sidewalk.
It’s constantly adjusting and responding, even when you’re not aware of it.
If you’ve noticed changes in your balance, focus, or coordination, reach out to our clinic to discuss whether vestibular assessment or therapy may be right for you. You can also speak to your healthcare provider for guidance.
