You Don’t Have to Live with Dizziness and Vertigo RELIEVE YOUR DIZZINESS AND VERTIGO WITH RESTORE PHYSICAL THERAPY
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 Restore Physical Therapy, 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 Restore Physical Therapy 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 of 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.
