EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT
Disruption of the vestibular system can cause dizziness, vertigo, loss of equilibrium, loss of balance, and nausea. Our therapists at Hands on Physical Therapy are trained in effectively treating these disorders. What causes this disruption to your vestibular system? Great question. The signals sent to your inner ear from your brain is not always correct. This poor transmission of information is what causes a person to have vestibular symptoms. Something called BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) is a common cause of vestibular issues. A calcium carbonate crystal is moved from its location in the inner ear portion called the utricle. It may happen due to trauma, aging, or an infection. A technique called the Epley maneuver is performed to treat BPPV. It uses manual techniques to reposition the canaliths in inner ear. It is often very successful at relieving vertigo. Many times it totally eliminates the symptoms of vertigo on the first visit. After the Epley maneuver successfully eliminates dizziness, the therapist then progresses to Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy. This is a series of exercises designed to prevent dizziness symptoms from returning and improve balance.
