What It Is and Why It Happens
Vertigo is the sensation that you or the room is spinning. The most common cause is BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo): tiny calcium crystals in the inner ear drift into the wrong canal and trigger brief, intense spinning with head position changes — rolling over, lying down, looking up. BPPV is diagnosed in the clinic and treated with a repositioning manoeuvre (the Epley or similar), which resolves it for most people within one to three visits.
Other causes we treat include vestibular neuritis, dizziness after concussion or whiplash, cervicogenic dizziness from the neck, and age-related balance decline. The assessment tells them apart.
Dizziness and Balance Problems We Treat
Our physiotherapists at Cityscape Square NE assess and treat:
- BPPV (positional vertigo)
- Vestibular neuritis and labyrinthitis recovery
- Dizziness after concussion or whiplash
- Cervicogenic dizziness (neck-related)
- Vestibular migraine (neck and balance component)
- Unsteadiness and fear of falling
- Motion sensitivity and visual vertigo
- Meniere’s disease (balance rehab between episodes)
How We Treat Vertigo
Assessment includes positional testing (Dix-Hallpike), eye movement and gaze stability tests, balance and gait testing and a neck exam. BPPV is treated on the spot with a repositioning manoeuvre. Other vestibular problems get a customized program of gaze stabilization, habituation and balance exercises — vestibular rehabilitation — progressed over several weeks, plus neck treatment when the cervical spine is contributing.
Dizziness with sudden severe headache, double vision, slurred speech, weakness or numbness needs emergency care. Post-crash dizziness is treated under Section B with our concussion management program. Vestibular initial assessment is $120.
