Treatment of Vertigo and Dizziness

At Keary Physiotherapy, we have physiotherapists with post-graduate training in the assessment and treatment of conditions that affect your inner ear. We offer vestibular rehab for the treatment of vertigo, dizziness, and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).

What symptoms can be treated with vestibular rehab?

You may experience symptoms of vertigo and dizziness if you have started a new medication, or have had a head trauma, illness, ear infection, stroke, or brain injury. Our vestibular rehab physiotherapists can treat your symptoms, from mild to severe.

If you experience any of the following symptoms, you may respond to physiotherapist treatment of vertigo and dizziness:

• Vertigo (i.e. room is spinning)
• Dizziness
• Unsteadiness or disorientation
• Nausea and/or vomiting
• Poor balance
• Headaches
• Sensitivity to bright light or noises

Some people have symptoms that last for only a few seconds, while others have symptoms that last for months, even years. Symptoms sometimes go into remission only to reappear after many months or years.

What type of treatment for vertigo and dizziness does Keary Physiotherapy provide?

Our physiotherapists provide vestibular rehab, which is a safe and drug free treatment option for vertigo and dizziness, to help decrease/eliminate symptoms, improve balance and regain independence.

The specialized physiotherapists at Keary Physiotherapy work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan, based on the assessment findings. Possible treatment options include:

• Manual techniques
• Individual exercises to improve the weak areas of your vestibular system
• Education on lifestyle management of your symptoms to help reduce or prevent their recurrence
