Understanding Vertigo and Balance Disorders

A balance disorder can make you feel unsteady or dizzy, whether you're standing, sitting, or lying down. It can manifest as a sensation of movement, spinning, or floating, and it affects individuals differently. Balance disorders can have various causes, including health conditions, medications, or problems in the inner ear or the brain. These disorders can significantly impact daily activities and even lead to emotional distress.

Recognizing Symptoms of a Balance Disorder

Symptoms of a balance disorder may include:

  • Dizziness or vertigo (a spinning sensation)
  • Falling or the feeling of falling
  • Lightheadedness, faintness, or a floating sensation
  • Blurred vision
  • Confusion or disorientation
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Changes in heart rate and blood pressure
  • Fear, anxiety, or panic
  • Fatigue and depression

Balance problems can arise from various causes, such as medications, ear infections, head injuries, or issues affecting the inner ear or brain. Even factors like low blood pressure or problems in the skeletal and visual systems can contribute to balance disorders.

Reviews

  • I want to say thank you to Dr. Ivan for helping me with my hip joint problem. On the first appointment he did a very thorough assessment, identified the reason I had that problem, explained everything in a plain language so that I could understand it, we came up with a plan on how to help me, and now I’m free of pain! Yay! I highly recommend Dr. Ivan as a very knowledgeable and professional chiropractor and massage therapist.

  • I have been to this location several times for a massage with Ivan. I have been dealing with back pain from sitting at my desk all day. Ivan has managed to relax my muscles and remove the knots making it easier for me to walk without pain. Ivan is very skilled and knowledgeable in this field.

  • I had a superb experience with Wendy (massage therapist) for neck/shoulder pain treatment. This is a great rehab team in a great and clean clinic setting! They are very friendly, helpful and welcoming! I will come back for my acupuncture and massage sessions! Thanks for your great service!

When to Seek Help for a Balance Disorder

If you're experiencing unsteadiness or dizziness, it's essential to consider seeking medical help. Ask yourself the following questions:

  • Do I feel unsteady?
  • Do I sense the room is spinning around me?
  • Do I feel as if I'm moving when I'm sitting or standing still?
  • Have I lost my balance and fallen?
  • Am I experiencing lightheadedness or the sensation of fainting?
  • Is my vision blurred?
  • Do I ever feel disoriented, losing track of time or location?

If you answer "yes" to any of these questions, consult with one of our physiotherapists and your doctor for professional guidance.

Understanding Vestibular Dysfunction (Vertigo)

Vestibular Dysfunction, often characterized by vertigo, leads to a sensation of spinning or dizziness due to problems in the inner ear, brain, or sensory nerve pathways. Common causes include inner ear infections, Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), and Meniere's disease, resulting in symptoms like dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and balance loss.

The Role of Vestibular Rehabilitation

Vestibular rehabilitation is crucial for effective recovery, maintenance, and prevention of worsening Vestibular Dysfunction. Our therapists at Alleviate Physiotherapy are highly skilled and trained in advanced vestibular rehabilitation.

Symptoms of Vertigo

Common symptoms of vertigo include:

  • A feeling of spinning or dizziness
  • Loss of balance
  • Difficulty walking or standing still
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Sweating
  • Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
  • Hearing loss
  • A sense of fullness or pressure in the ear
  • Visual disturbances, like double vision or light-headedness

These symptoms can vary in intensity, duration, and triggers, affecting daily activities. Consulting a certified vestibular therapist is essential if you experience any of these symptoms.

Physiotherapy can effectively reduce vertigo symptoms, improve balance, coordination, and overall function. We create individualized treatment plans to optimize recovery.

At Complete Care Physiotherapy Centre, we believe in holistic care and helping all our clients achieve a pain-free life. If you're looking for the best physiotherapy near you, follow our checklist to find the right solution.
