Effective Relief for Dizziness and Vertigo with Physical Therapy

Common Causes of Dizziness and Vertigo

​​

• Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV): BPPV is a common inner ear disorder where tiny crystals in the inner ear become dislodged, causing sudden and intense episodes of vertigo. These dizzy spells are often triggered by specific head movements.

• ​

• Vestibular Neuritis and Labyrinthitis: Both conditions involve inflammation of the vestibular nerve or inner ear, often due to viral infections. This can lead to prolonged dizziness, imbalance, and nausea.

• ​

• Meniere’s Disease: A disorder of the inner ear, Meniere’s disease can cause severe vertigo, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), and hearing loss, often in one ear.

• ​

• Cervicogenic Dizziness: Stemming from issues in the neck, cervicogenic dizziness is often associated with neck pain or stiffness. Problems with the cervical spine can affect balance and create sensations of dizziness.

 

How Our Physical Therapy Clinic Treats Dizziness and Vertigo

​

Our physical therapists are skilled in vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) and other techniques to effectively treat dizziness and vertigo. Our approach includes:

​

• Canalith Repositioning Maneuvers: For BPPV, we use maneuvers like the Epley and Semont maneuvers to reposition displaced crystals in the inner ear, providing quick and effective relief from vertigo symptoms.

• Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT): VRT consists of exercises to improve balance, eye movement control, and spatial orientation. These exercises help retrain the brain to reduce dizziness and enhance stability.

• Balance and Gait Training: For those experiencing unsteadiness or imbalance, we focus on exercises to improve strength, coordination, and balance, which reduces the risk of falls.

• Neck and Postural Therapy: For cervicogenic dizziness, we use manual therapy, stretching, and strengthening exercises to address neck pain and improve posture, reducing symptoms related to neck dysfunction.

 

Our personalized treatment plans address both the symptoms and underlying causes of dizziness and vertigo, providing lasting relief and helping you feel steady, confident, and in control.
