Understanding Dizziness and Vertigo
Dizziness is a general feeling of unsteadiness or light-headedness, while vertigo causes a spinning or whirling sensation even when you are still. These symptoms often come from problems in the inner ear or vestibular system, which controls your sense of balance and spatial awareness.
Common vestibular conditions that cause dizziness or vertigo include:
- Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)
- Vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis
- Post-concussion vestibular dysfunction
- Migraine-related vertigo
- Inner-ear infections or inflammation
- Age-related balance changes
Signs You Should Seek Treatment
Dizziness and vertigo can appear suddenly or gradually. You may experience:
- Spinning sensations or a feeling of motion when still
- Unsteadiness while standing or walking
- Blurred vision or difficulty focusing
- Nausea or motion sensitivity
- Light-headedness or a feeling of floating
- Increased risk of falling or fear of movement
If dizziness persists for more than a few days, professional evaluation can help identify the cause and start effective treatment.
How Physiotherapy Helps with Dizziness and Vertigo
At Aldergrove Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation Centre, your physiotherapist will perform a detailed assessment to determine the cause of your dizziness and design a treatment plan to restore balance. Vestibular rehabilitation retrains your brain and inner ear to process movement and position changes correctly.
Your plan may include:
- Canalith repositioning maneuvers for BPPV (Epley or Semont techniques)
- Gaze stabilization exercises to improve focus and reduce motion sensitivity
- Balance retraining to improve confidence while standing or walking
- Posture and movement correction to reduce strain and dizziness triggers
- Education on home strategies and safe activity progression
Kinesiologists may guide gentle strengthening and coordination exercises, while Massage Therapy can help relieve neck and shoulder tension that contributes to balance issues. Acupuncture may also be added when appropriate to support relaxation and circulation.
Why Early Vestibular Care Speeds Recovery
Without proper treatment, dizziness can lead to reduced confidence, motion avoidance, and increased fall risk. Early vestibular therapy retrains your body to adapt, helping your brain regain control of balance and reducing symptoms faster.
