Vertigo, a sensation of spinning or dizziness, can disrupt daily life, making even simple tasks feel challenging. Many people assume vertigo is something you just need to “live with,” but physiotherapy can help restore balance and reduce symptoms.
At Realign Chiro Physio & Rehab in Langley, we work with clients to improve stability, retrain balance systems, and support long-term recovery from vertigo.
What Causes Vertigo?
Vertigo often originates from issues in the inner ear or vestibular system, which controls balance. Common causes include:
- Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) triggered by head movements.
- Inner ear infections or inflammation
- Vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis
- Post-concussion or head injury effects
Symptoms may include dizziness, imbalance, nausea, or feeling like the room is spinning.
How Physiotherapy Can Help
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) is a specialized type of physiotherapy aimed at addressing vertigo and balance problems. Techniques may include:
- Balance retraining exercises – Strengthen muscles and improve coordination to reduce dizziness.
- Head and eye movement exercises – Retrain your brain to process signals from the inner ear more efficiently.
- Canalith repositioning maneuvers (e.g., Epley maneuver) – Specifically for BPPV, these maneuvers help move displaced particles in the inner ear that trigger vertigo.
- Posture and core stability training – Improves overall stability and reduces fall risk.
- Education and lifestyle strategies – Guidance on safe movement, triggers to avoid, and exercises to do at home.
