Vertigo can be caused by several vestibular conditions, including BPPV, vestibular migraines and inner ear disorders, as well as neck-related and cervical dysfunctions.
Yes. Vestibular physiotherapy is highly effective for many causes of dizziness, vertigo and balance dysfunction.
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is a common vestibular disorder caused by displaced crystals within the inner ear that trigger brief episodes of vertigo with certain head movements.
BPPV is commonly treated using canalith repositioning maneuvers. These specialized techniques help guide displaced crystals back to their proper location within the inner ear, often providing rapid symptom relief.
Yes. Cervicogenic dizziness is a type of dizziness that originates from dysfunction in the neck. Restricted movement, muscle tension or joint dysfunction in the cervical spine can contribute to dizziness and balance problems. Treatment may include a combination of vestibular rehabilitation and physiotherapy for the neck.
The number of sessions depends on your diagnosis, symptom severity and response to treatment. Some conditions such as BPPV may resolve in only one visit, while others require a longer rehabilitation program.
Yes. Vestibular dysfunction is common after concussion, and vestibular rehabilitation is often an important component of recovery.
Yes. Exercises and treatment techniques are carefully selected based on your condition and tolerance levels.
