Who Benefits from Vestibular Physiotherapy?
- Vertigo: Often stemming from inner ear disorders, this is a spinning sensation that can be triggered by movements like looking up or turning quickly.
- Dizziness: A broad term that encompasses feelings of lightheadedness and unsteadiness.
- Balance Disorders: These involve difficulties in maintaining balance which increases fall risks, particularly in older adults.
- Vestibular Neuritis: This condition involves inflammation of the vestibular nerve, causing severe dizziness and balance issues.
- Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD): A chronic form of dizziness exacerbated by specific environments or movements.
What Is Vestibular Physiotherapy?
Vestibular Physio targets issues caused by vestibular disorders. Located in the inner ear, the vestibular system plays a crucial role in maintaining your balance.
Problems arise when this system is disrupted, leading to symptoms such as dizziness, vertigo, and imbalance that can disrupt your daily activities.
We can help regain stability, diminish dizziness, and enhance your life quality.
Understanding BPPV: A Common Vestibular Condition
One prevalent issue we treat is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). Characterized by brief but intense dizzy spells triggered by head movements, BPPV occurs when tiny particles in your inner ear become displaced. Activities that may induce symptoms include:
- Rolling over in bed
- Sitting up from a lying position
- Lying down on one side
- Bending over
Symptoms of BPPV
- Brief dizziness following certain head movements
- A sense of lightheadedness
- Nausea, which improves with position changes
- Challenges with balance
Vesibular Physio Treatment for Vertigo
- Physiotherapy: Our trained physiotherapists can perform maneuvers to quickly alleviate symptoms, often within 1-2 sessions.
We specialize in treating BPPV with precise movements designed to reposition the displaced particles in the inner ear.
Our skilled physiotherapists will guide you through these maneuvers and provide instructions for continued home treatment if necessary.
Most patients see substantial improvement quickly, although some may need more sessions.
