People who experience vertigo typically report an overwhelming sensation of feeling off balance. It can make someone feel dizzy, like you’re moving or spinning, resulting in a loss of balance. Some people experience problems focusing their eyes or have ringing in their ears. If severe, the condition can cause sweating and even nausea or vomiting. Our physical therapists at Quality Performance Rehab can help relieve your symptoms. Call today to schedule an appointment with one of our specialists! The most common causes of vertigo. Three common causes of vertigo symptoms are Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) andMeniere’s Disease, and vestibular neuritis. BPPV is essentially an inner-ear infection. This type of infection occurs when microscopic calciumparticles called “canaliths” clump up in the inner ear canals. Your inner ear is responsible for sending gravitational messages to your brain regarding the movements of your body. This is how we remain balanced daily. When the inner ear canals are blocked, the correct messages cannot make it to the brain, and we become unbalanced – thus, causing vertigo. Meniere’s Disease is a disorder of the inner ear caused by a buildup of fluid and fluctuating pressures within the ear. It has a similar effect as BPPV, as the fluid and pressure blockmessages from the inner ear canal to the brain, resulting in imbalance. Meniere’s Disease can cause tinnitus, commonly referred to as “a ringing of the ears,” and may even cause hearing loss in extreme cases.

Vestibular neuritis is also known as labyrinthitis. This is another type of inner ear infection, but it’s caused by a virus. The virus causes the inner ear and surrounding nerves to swell, resulting in difficulties with your balance due to discrepancies in the messages sent to the brain. Although the most common causes of vertigo are due to issues with the inner ear, some less common causes of vertigo include: • Injury to the head or neck • Migraines • Medications • Stroke • Brain tumor Vertigo can sometimes go away on its own, however, it can also progress and worsen over time. If you believe you may have the symptoms of vertigo or one of its causes, it is essential to consult with one of our physical therapists immediately.
