Therapy (VRT) in patients with vertigo. The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy
of OMT in the treatment of individuals with vertigo, alone and in combination with
Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT). Because of the health care costs associated with
vertigo, the cost effectiveness of OMT and VRT will also be examined.
