DIZZINESS & VERTIGO PHYSIOTHERAPY
Are you struggling with dizziness or vertigo?
What is Vertigo and Dizziness?
Dizziness is a broad term for sensations of feeling light-headed, unsteady, or off-balance.
Vertigo is a specific type of dizziness where you feel as if you or your surroundings are spinning or moving, even when standing still.
These conditions can arise from a variety of causes, including issues with the inner ear (ie. Labrynthitis, BPPV – Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo), neck problems, or even migraines.
How Can Physiotherapy Help?
Our process begins with a comprehensive assessment, during which we’ll review your medical history and conduct specific tests to determine the underlying cause of your dizziness or vertigo, enabling us to provide personalised, evidence-based treatments to address your specific symptoms.
Treatment Options:
Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT): Focuses on improving balance and reducing dizziness symptoms through exercises that help your brain adapt to the abnormal signals it’s receiving.
Canalith Repositioning Manoeuvres: A technique used specifically to treat BPPV, moving the crystals in your inner ear back into place.
Balance & Coordination Training: Exercises designed to strengthen your muscles and improve your balance, reducing your risk of falls and increasing your confidence with movement.
Manual Therapy: For cases where dizziness is related to neck dysfunction (cervicogenic dizziness), we use gentle hands-on techniques to relieve tension and improve mobility in the neck.
Common Symptoms We Treat
- Sudden spinning sensations (vertigo)
- Unsteadiness or balance problems
- Dizziness/vertigo with head movements
- Difficulty focusing due to dizziness
- Headaches associated with dizziness or vertigo
What to Expect
After your initial assessment, your physiotherapist will guide you through exercises and treatment techniques that are customised for your specific condition. Over time, these exercises retrain your body and brain to better process balance information, reducing your symptoms.
Don’t let dizziness or vertigo hold you back from enjoying your life. Call us on 9889 3903 or book an assessment online and take the first step towards feeling balanced and steady again.
