Whether you suffer from a sudden attack or recurring symptoms, the uncertainty and loss of control can be very annoying. But where does vertigo actually come from? And how can physiotherapy help treat vertigo? Our physiotherapist explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do I have vertigo?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dizziness, also known as <em>vertigo<\/em> called, gives you the feeling that the world is spinning around you, while you are standing still. This can have several causes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo)<\/strong> \u2013 The most common form of vertigo, often caused by displaced crystals in the balance organ.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Problems with the organ of balance<\/strong> \u2013 Inflammations or disturbances in the inner ear can cause dizziness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tension in the neck<\/strong> \u2013 A stiff neck or bad posture can affect your balance and cause dizziness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Overstimulation of the brain<\/strong> \u2013 Stress and fatigue can increase dizziness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you want to know for sure what the cause of your complaints is? A physiotherapist specialized in vertigo can help you find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BPPV and physiotherapy: effective treatment for vertigo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most common causes of vertigo is <strong>BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo)<\/strong>. This is caused by loose crystals in the inner ear that disrupt your balance organ. Fortunately, physiotherapy can provide a quick and effective solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our <strong>physiotherapist specialized in dizziness<\/strong> performs techniques such as the <strong>Epley maneuver<\/strong> to get the crystals back in the right place. This can often provide relief after one or a few treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you recognize the symptoms of BPPD? Don&#039;t keep walking around with it and discover what physiotherapy can do for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Physiotherapy for vertigo: how does it work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Physiotherapy can be an effective treatment for various forms of vertigo. Depending on the cause of your symptoms, a physiotherapist can apply various treatment techniques:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2714 <strong>Vestibular rehabilitation<\/strong> \u2013 Aimed at training your balance and reducing dizziness.<br>\u2714 <strong>BPPV treatment<\/strong> \u2013 Specific techniques such as the <em>Epley maneuver<\/em> help move crystals in the balance organ.<br>\u2714 <strong>Neck and posture exercises<\/strong> \u2013 Bad posture or tension in the neck can cause dizziness. Specific exercises help to remedy this.<br>\u2714 <strong>Balance and coordination training<\/strong> \u2013 By training your balance, you can reduce dizziness and gain more control over your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our physiotherapists always create a tailor-made treatment plan, tailored to your complaints and situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to see a physiotherapist for dizziness?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is wise to make an appointment if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udd39 You regularly suffer from attacks of dizziness.<br>\ud83d\udd39 You notice that certain movements trigger your complaints.<br>\ud83d\udd39 You are unsure when moving or have difficulty with your balance.<br>\ud83d\udd39 Your complaints persist and hinder your daily activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Fysi we don&#039;t just look at the symptoms, but at the cause of your complaints.
