What is Vertigo and How We Can Help You

Vertigo is a term commonly used for dizziness that comes on suddenly with movement. People often describe their symptoms as feeling as though they or the room is spinning, they can feel off-balance, nauseas, and generally “off”. Sometimes it can be so bad it stops people from getting out of bed. For others it can be milder and mainly interrupt higher-level activities like yoga or other exercise. The good news is that vestibular physiotherapists can treat many types of vertigo. Vestibular physiotherapy (or vestibular rehabilitation) intends to alleviate these symptoms, especially dizziness and vertigo and retrain the vestibular system to improve daily functioning.

It is not a condition you should put up with, get it properly assessed and treated today at Southside Physiotherapy.

Symptoms include:

• Vertigo: an illusion of motion (or the world moving around you), often a spinning sensation

• Dizziness: a sensation of lightheadedness, floating, or rocking

• Imbalance or unsteadiness

• Blurred vision

• Nausea

• Hearing changes

• Lack of coordination

People with vestibular disorders may also experience headaches and muscle aches. They also have a higher tendency to suffer from motion sickness and may also be sensitive to noise or bright lights.

Types of Vertigo/Vestibular Issues that we can help treat:

  • BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo)

  • Vestibular migraine

  • Vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis

  • Meniere’s disease

  • Vestibular dysfunction due to head injury or concussion

  • PPPD (persistent postural perceptual dizziness)

As many as 35% of adults have experienced some form of vestibular dysfunction, and 80% of people aged 65+ have experienced dizziness. BPPV, the most common vestibular disorder, accounts for over half of these cases.

In many people, vertigo is idiopathic (meaning there is no known cause). Vertigo can, however, also come on after trauma (including whiplash), ear infection, dental work, long term antibiotic use, or sudden pressure changes (such as scuba diving or flying in an airplane).
