Important Things You Should Know On Vertigo Treatment

What is Vertigo?

Vertigo is a sensation of feeling off-balance, dizzy, or like you or your surroundings are spinning or moving when they are not.
It can be caused by various factors such as inner ear problems, issues with the vestibular system that helps control balance, or even certain medical conditions.
Vertigo can affect people of all ages, but it is more common in older adults. Certain conditions like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), which is a common cause of vertigo, tend to be more prevalent in older individuals.

Avoid sudden head movements that can trigger vertigo episodes.
Be cautious when changing positions, especially from lying down to standing up.
Use handrails or support when navigating stairs or uneven surfaces to prevent falls.
Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet to support overall well-being.
Limit caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco consumption as they can exacerbate vertigo symptoms.
Get adequate rest and manage stress levels, as fatigue and stress can worsen vertigo.
Consider using assistive devices like canes or walkers if needed for stability and safety.

Physiotherapy can be beneficial in treating certain types of vertigo, especially if it is related to issues in the vestibular system or inner ear.
Vestibular rehabilitation exercises, which are a form of physiotherapy, can help improve balance and reduce symptoms of vertigo.
These exercises aim to strengthen the vestibular system and promote adaptation to reduce dizziness and improve stability.
