Understanding Dizziness and Vertigo
Dizziness refers to a sensation of lightheadedness, unsteadiness, or faintness, while vertigo is a more specific type of dizziness characterized by a spinning or tilting feeling. Both conditions can be caused by a range of underlying issues, including:
Inner Ear Disorders
Musculoskeletal Disorders
Central Nervous System Issues
Other Medical Conditions
While occasional dizziness may not be concerning, it’s important to seek help if you experience:
- Frequent or prolonged episodes
- Severe dizziness that hinders standing or walking
- Dizziness accompanied by nausea, vomiting, hearing loss, numbness, weakness, or vision problems
Frequent dizziness or vertigo, especially with additional symptoms, can signal an underlying medical issue. Seeking timely help can improve your quality of life and prevent complications.
How Multidisciplinary Care at Centre Street Physiotherapy & Wellness Clinic Can Help
At Centre Street Physiotherapy & Wellness Clinic, our practitioners begin by conducting a thorough evaluation to pinpoint the cause of your dizziness or vertigo. This process includes:
- Detailed History and Symptom Analysis: We review your medical background, current medications, and the nature of your dizziness episodes.
- Physical Examination: We assess your balance, coordination, and nervous system function.
- Vestibular Function Testing (if necessary): Specialized tests evaluate your inner ear and vestibular system.
Based on your evaluation, your personalized treatment plan may include:
- Canalith Repositioning Maneuvers (for BPPV): Specific head and body movements to reposition dislodged particles in the inner ear.
- Vestibular Rehabilitation Exercises: Exercises that retrain the vestibular system, improving the brain’s ability to compensate for balance challenges.
- Cervical Spine Mobility Techniques (for cervicogenic dizziness): Manual therapy, such as trigger point release and joint mobilization, to improve neck function.
- Balance and Gait Training: Exercises to improve coordination and restore confident walking.
- Patient Education and Self-Management Strategies: We’ll teach you how to manage symptoms through lifestyle changes and home exercises.
