Do you suffer from balance issues? Dizziness?
Or vertigo related to Vestibular dysfunction?
Treatment with a Physiotherapist trained in Vestibular rehabilitation may be able to help.
The Vestibular system, often referred to as your “inner ear”, has organs specifically designed to identify where your head is in space and keep you upright and oriented to your environment. If this system is damaged or compromised it can lead to any of the following symptoms:
- Vertigo (Feeling as though the world is spinning around you)
- Dizziness (imbalance or disequilibrium)
- Nausea or vomiting
- Loss of balance
- Ringing in the ears
- Associated Neck pain
- Fear and avoidance of daily activities that may increase any of the above
These symptoms can be the result of an infection, head trauma, concussion, or other pathologies of the inner ear. These pathologies include Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), Meniere’s disease, Vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis, and unilateral or bilateral vestibular loss
Our Physiotherapist Troy Clare has been specially trained to help manage and treat vestibular dysfunction and the associated symptoms. A detailed Vestibular assessment with him may to help determine the cause of your symptoms, and could then be used to develop a specific treatment plan that to give you relief.
