Care for Vertigo at Back & Body Wellness Centre
Vertigo can make daily tasks difficult, causing dizziness, nausea, and a sensation of spinning. These symptoms can be linked to inner ear problems or other medical conditions. At Back & Body Wellness Centre, we offer specialized physiotherapy to help patients manage vertigo and restore their balance and confidence.
Recognizing the Symptoms of Vertigo
Vertigo is often described as a spinning or dizzy sensation, which can be disorienting and uncomfortable. It may be caused by inner ear issues like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), Meniere’s disease, or vestibular neuritis. Head injuries, infections, and prolonged bed rest can also contribute to vertigo symptoms.
Patients may also experience nausea, unsteadiness, and difficulty focusing, which makes it essential to seek professional care to manage these symptoms effectively.
The Importance of Professional Care
Physiotherapy Techniques for Vertigo
Our physiotherapists at Back & Body Wellness Centre use specialized techniques such as vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) to help patients manage vertigo. VRT involves exercises designed to improve balance, eye movements, and head coordination. These exercises help retrain the brain and body to adapt to the dizziness, making daily activities more manageable.
For patients suffering from BPPV, repositioning maneuvers like the Epley maneuver may be used to move displaced inner ear crystals, which can provide immediate relief from vertigo symptoms.
Supporting Long-Term Symptom Management
We provide patients with exercises and strategies to manage vertigo at home, ensuring long-term symptom control. Our team also offers advice on lifestyle changes that can help prevent vertigo episodes and maintain stability.
Holistic Care for Vertigo
In more complex cases, we may work closely with ENT specialists or other healthcare providers to ensure a thorough assessment and appropriate treatment. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive approach to vertigo care, ensuring that all aspects of your condition are addressed.
