How Can I Recover From Vertico?
How Can I Recover From Vertico? Vertigo is more than just dizziness. It’s a condition that makes you feel as if the world around you is spinning, tilting or moving even when you’re standing still. This sensation can be mild or severe, short-lived or long-lasting, and often interferes with daily activities such as walking, driving, or even turning your head.
What Is Vertigo? Vertigo is a symptom — not a disease on its own — and it usually results from a problem in the inner ear or the brain, the two main organs responsible for maintaining balance. The inner ear has delicate structures that detect movement and help the brain understand your position in space. When these structures are disturbed, you may experience the false sensation of movement known as vertigo.
Common Causes of Vertigo
Vertigo can occur due to several conditions, including:
1. Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV):
The most common cause, often triggered by small calcium particles that move into the wrong part of the inner ear. It’s typically noticed when you change your head position, such as getting out of bed or looking up.
2. Vestibular Neuritis or Labyrinthitis:
This occurs when the inner ear or the nerves connecting it to the brain become inflamed, often after a viral infection.
3. Meniere’s Disease:
A disorder caused by fluid buildup in the inner ear, leading to episodes of vertigo, hearing loss, and ringing in the ears (tinnitus).
4. Head or Neck Injury:
Trauma can disturb the inner ear structures or nerves responsible for balance.
Some people experience dizziness and balance issues during or between migraine attacks — a condition known as vestibular migraine.
Common Symptoms of Vertigo
- Spinning or tilting sensation (as if the world is moving)
- Loss of balance or unsteady gait
- Nausea or vomiting
- Headache or pressure in the head
- Blurred vision or abnormal eye movements
- Lightheadedness or fainting sensation
These symptoms can be frightening and may cause anxiety or a fear of movement, but with the right care, complete recovery is possible.
How Physiotherapy Can Help Vertigo Patients
At Effective Physiotherapy & Fitness Clinic, our trained physiotherapists specialize in vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) — a proven, non-surgical treatment designed to reduce dizziness, improve balance, and restore your confidence.
VRT involves exercises that retrain your brain and inner ear to work together effectively. The goal is to help your body adapt and regain stability.
Our treatment approach may include:
Canalith Repositioning Maneuvers (Epley or Semont): Techniques that move displaced crystals in the inner ear back to their correct position, especially for BPPV.
- Balance and Coordination Exercises: To help improve steadiness and walking ability.
- Gaze Stabilization Exercises :To reduce dizziness while moving your head or eyes.
Posture and Neck Rehabilitation: If vertigo is linked to neck stiffness or tension.
Lifestyle and Home Exercise Guidance: To prevent recurrence and maintain long-term improvement.
