PT& Rehab Specialists:Vertigo vs Head Cold

HOW WE CAN HELP

It can undoubtedly be difficult to determine when to seek treatment for something. It is true that vertigo can sometimes go away on its own, but it can also progress and result in worsening symptoms over time. Why would you want to take the risk? If you believe you may have the symptoms of vertigo or one of its causes, it is important to consult with a doctor immediately. Physical therapy is a common treatment for vertigo, and our staff at Physical Therapy & Rehab Specialists are trained to help alleviate any dizzying, lightheaded, or physically unstable symptoms you may be experiencing. The most common treatments for vertigo are: • Vestibular Rehabilitation – this form of physical therapy focuses on the vestibular system, located within the inner ear, and the ways in which we can strengthen it. The vestibular system sends the gravitational messages to your brain about your body movements, and focusing on balance-specific exercises can help in strengthening this system, thus diminishing the effects of vertigo. • Canalith Repositioning Maneuvers – This form of physical therapy uses specific movements of the head and body to reposition the otoconia from the vestibular canals to where they belong restoring proper signaling to the brain on head movements.

If you believe you may be experiencing vertigo, contact Physical Therapy & Rehab Specialists for a consultation today. At our practice, we value Integrity, Honesty, Respect, and Courtesy. Our physical therapists are ambitious about guiding our patients down a smooth and compassionate path toward well-being. Don’t settle for dizziness – let us help you get back in balance.
