How Can Physical Therapy Help Vertigo

vertigo

Vertigo is a symptom, rather than a condition itself. It's the sensation that you, or the environment around you, is moving or spinning.

This feeling may be barely noticeable, or it may be so severe that you find it difficult to keep your balance and do everyday tasks.

 

Symptoms

 

Causes 

 

A physical therapist treats dizziness and balance issues with a method called vestibular rehabilitation

This training involves three parts: gaze stabilization, habituation, and balance training.

At Reddy Care Physical and Occupational Therapy, we can get you set up with the right therapist for you. Call today to schedule a consultation!
