What is causing my vertigo?
The most common reasons for vertigo are related to inner ear issues, which play a crucial role in maintaining our balance and spatial orientation. Some of the primary causes include:
- Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV): BPPV occurs when calcium carbonate crystals within the inner ear become dislodged, causing brief episodes of vertigo triggered by changes in head position. These episodes typically last less than a minute but can cause intense dizziness and imbalance.
- Labyrinthitis: This inner ear infection leads to inflammation of the labyrinth, the system of fluid-filled canals responsible for balance. Labyrinthitis can lead to sudden, severe vertigo and other symptoms such as hearing loss and tinnitus (ringing in the ears).
- Meniere’s disease: Meniere’s disease is a chronic disorder of the inner ear characterized by recurrent episodes of vertigo, fluctuating hearing loss, tinnitus, and a feeling of fullness in the affected ear. The exact cause is unknown, but it is thought to involve an abnormal fluid buildup in the inner ear.
You should note that individuals with pre-existing health conditions, such as migraines, diabetes, and vestibular disorders, are more susceptible to vertigo.
Our team of holistic physiotherapists emphasizes addressing the root causes of vertigo to help you alleviate symptoms, improve your stability, and return to a normal life.
