Our Vestibular physiotherapists at Shawnee Clinic are skilled to treat balance disorders, dizziness, and vertigo.
Vertigo is a specific type of dizziness that feels like you or your surroundings are spinning or moving, even when you’re not. It can also feel like floating or rocking. Vertigo attacks can last from seconds to hours, or even days or months in severe cases. Other symptoms include nausea, vomiting, sweating, and difficulty walking. Vertigo is a symptom of vestibular dysfunction, usually caused by a problem in the inner ear or brain that controls balance.
Vestibular rehabilitation physiotherapy involves tailored exercises that retrain the brain to compensate for inner ear dysfunction, improving balance, reducing fall risk, and enhancing overall stability.
