Discover the Root Cause of Your Vertigo or Dizziness and Regain Balance at Physio For Seniors
Vertigo and dizziness can be perplexing and debilitating symptoms, impacting your overall wellness and daily life. Vestibular problems, affecting the intricate balance system of the inner ear, are often the primary culprits behind this disconcerting sensation.
The most prevalent causes of vestibular dysfunction are:
- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV): Tiny calcium crystals in the inner ear become dislodged, causing brief episodes of vertigo when changing head positions.
- Labyrinthitis: Inflammation of the inner ear structures, often due to a viral infection, resulting in vertigo, dizziness and hearing loss.
- Vestibular Neuronitis: Similar to labyrinthitis but without hearing loss, this condition involves inflammation of the vestibular nerve.
- Meniere’s Disease: A chronic disorder characterized by episodic vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus, often caused by an abnormal fluid buildup in the inner ear.
- Migraine-associated Vertigo: This type of migraine headache is associated with dizziness and sensitivity to light and sound.
Resolve Your Vertigo and Dizziness With The Life-Changing Benefits of Vestibular Rehabilitation
Vestibular rehabilitation is designed to restore equilibrium to your vestibular system and retrain your brain to recognize and process signals from the vestibular system more effectively. While we are not vestibular specialists, our therapists at Physio For Seniors can provide vestibular rehabilitation for the most common vestibular disorders. We will refer you to a specialist if your case is more complicated. Having said this, we are balance specialists and can help you with improving your overall stability, balance and coordination.
During your initial evaluation at home or in our clinic, we will assess your medical history. This helps us to thoroughly understand your health and any previous issues that may influence your current condition.
Next, we conduct vestibular, gait and balance testing. This evaluates your vertigo, dizziness, stability and movement patterns, which provide clues as to the functioning of your vestibular and balance systems. Our specialized testing allows us to pinpoint the root cause of your symptoms and develop a targeted plan for improvement. Finally, we will utilize a variety of treatments to address your unique needs, both in a clinical setting and as part of a home exercise program. These treatments may include:
- Habituation exercises: Designed to reduce dizziness and improve tolerance for movements that typically trigger symptoms.
- Gaze stabilization exercises: Aimed at enhancing your ability to maintain a steady focus on objects during head movement.
- Balance and gait training: Focused on improving your stability and walking patterns, ensuring safer and more confident mobility.
- Canalith repositioning maneuvers: These are specific techniques that treat Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) by moving the floating or stuck calcium carbonate crystals away from your inner ear’s semicircular canals.
- Manual therapy: Different techniques are used to alleviate muscle tightness and joint restrictions especially in the neck that may be contributing to your neck-related dizziness.
Under the guidance of our skilled physiotherapist, you can experience significant improvements in balance, stability, and overall well-being. Call 778-245-9746 today to book your appointment and get the help you need!
