RELIEVE YOUR DIZZINESS AND VERTIGO PHYSICAL THERAPY CAN HELP!
Have you noticed you are not as steady as you used to be? Do you notice that dizziness makes you feel less balanced? No matter your age, you can improve your balance. At FYZICAL, we can help you figure out what is causing your vertigo and/or dizziness and, more importantly, how to resolve it! Balance is a big deal but we take it for granted. Your balance system is incredibly complex and allows you to walk around obstacles without thinking. However, it can be challenging to perform daily tasks and activities you enjoy when your balance is affected. If you’ve been feeling dizzy, or you think you may have some of the symptoms of vertigo, call FYZICAL today to schedule an appointment with one of our experienced physical therapists. What is causing your dizziness and/or vertigo? Dizziness is a general term used to describe a sense of unsteadiness that may be due to a lack of sleep, poor nutrition, overexertion, or a physical ailment (i.e., a head cold or the flu). Dizziness can also occur from something as simple as standing up too quickly after an extended period of rest. Some accompanying symptoms to dizziness may include: • Loss of balance • Lightheadedness or heavy-headedness • Momentarily impaired vision • Feeling unsteady or faint
Vertigo is the result of an issue in your inner ear, also known as the “vestibular system.” Your vestibular system helps you maintain your balance and center of gravity by sending messages to your brain regarding your movement. When the vestibular system is impaired, the messages to your brain are altered, and your movement becomes affected. You may feel as if the world is spinning around you, you can’t focus your vision for prolonged periods, or you can’t stand/ move appropriately without feeling like you’ll topple over. Some common causes of vertigo include: • Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). This is the most common cause of vertigo. It occurs when the tiny calcium crystals located in your ears break apart and move around to different parts of the ear that they are not supposed to be in. • Meniere’s disease. This occurs when fluid builds up in your ear(s). This typically includes ringing sounds in the inner ear and sudden waves of vertigo that may last for hours. You may also experience momentary hearing losses. • Vestibular neuritis. This is an inner-ear infection that can cause vertigo. • Migraines. Migraines can impact your vestibular system, and may be coupled with sensitivities to light or sound, or may also impair your vision. • Stroke. A stroke affects movement in your whole body. If you recently suffered a stroke, you may experience waves of vertigo which may linger for extended periods of time. (continued inside)

An insurance deductible is the amount of money that you must pay before your insurance company pays for your medical services. If your deductible is met, your Physical Therapy may not cost you anything. Patients with family plans or those who have had major surgeries or have a chronic illness are especially likely to have a $0 balance remaining on their out-of-pocket expenses. This means that the cost of physical therapy could be minimal or completely covered by the patient’s insurance plan. If you are close to or have met your insurance deductible for the year, then now is the time to come in for Physical Therapy! Are you feeling aches and pains? Need to work on your core? Let us help you get a head start for 2023. Have you undergone surgery recently? Call the clinic nearest to you to schedule an appointment with one of our physical therapists.
