Dizziness and Vertigo

Expert Physical Therapy for Balance and Stability

Have you ever experienced the sensation that the world around you is spinning, even when you’re standing still? That disorienting feeling is often a sign of dizziness or vertigo. It can be accompanied by symptoms such as unsteadiness while walking, nausea, difficulty maintaining balance, or a sensation of motion even at rest.

Vertigo typically stems from inner ear issues or neurological conditions that affect the body’s balance system. In older adults, age-related changes in the inner ear or brain can also contribute to chronic dizziness. In some cases, certain medications may have side effects that induce or worsen vertigo.

Common Symptoms of Vertigo:

  • A spinning sensation (even while stationary)
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Loss of balance or coordination
  • Trouble focusing vision
  • Difficulty walking

Causes of Vertigo:

  • Inner ear disorders (e.g., BPPV, vestibular neuritis)
  • Brain-related conditions (e.g., stroke, migraine)
  • Side effects from long-term medication use
  • Head or neck injuries

Tips to Manage and Prevent Dizziness:

  1. Perform physical exercises that involve controlled head and eye movements to improve balance.
  2. Attend guided physical therapy sessions to strengthen your stability and coordination.
  3. Rearrange your home so that frequently used items are within easy reach to reduce the risk of falls.
  4. Speak with your physician about reviewing or adjusting any medications that may be contributing to your symptoms.

If your dizziness persists or worsens, seek professional evaluation. Our expert team at Sharma Rehabilitation Services is here to help restore your balance and improve your quality of life.
