Physiotherapy can be an effective treatment for vertigo, especially when it's related to issues like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), vestibular dysfunction, or balance problems. Here are some common approaches:
1. Vestibular Rehabilitation Exercises
Brandt-Daroff Exercises: Help with habituation to vertigo.
Epley Maneuver: Used specifically for BPPV to reposition crystals in the inner ear.
2. Balance Training
Exercises to improve stability and coordination, often incorporating static and dynamic movements.
3. Gaze Stabilization Exercises
Focus on keeping the gaze steady while moving the head, helping to improve visual-vestibular interaction.
4. Education and Counseling
Understanding the condition and learning coping strategies to manage symptoms.
5. Manual Therapy
Techniques to relieve neck or other musculoskeletal issues contributing to vertigo.
6. Individualized Programs
Tailored exercises based on the specific type of vertigo and the individual’s needs.
Tips for Patients
Stay Hydrated: Dehydration can exacerbate symptoms.
Avoid Sudden Movements: This can trigger episodes.
Follow a Consistent Routine: Regular exercise can help with balance.
