Comprehensive Treatment and Care Plans for Vertigo: Regaining Balance and Stability through Vestibular Physical Therapy

Vertigo is a distressing condition that affects millions of people worldwide and is taxing. Vertigo conditions include spinning, dizziness and abnormal eye movements. With vestibular physical therapy, individuals suffering from vertigo can find relief.

The journey towards vertigo resolution begins with a thorough evaluation. This evaluation aims to diagnose the type and source of vertigo. Diagnosing peripheral and central vertigo is crucial. It guides the treatment approach.

Vestibular Evaluation Physical Therapy

At LVL Up Physical Therapy, we take our time to understand our patients' symptoms. We strive to help patients achieve improvement in their well being. We start with an examination of symptoms first.

We employ differential diagnosis techniques to ensure we identify your specific condition. Then, we define your vestibular physical therapy treatment.

Central and Inner Vestibular Pathology

You may need a more complex treatment plan if your symptoms arise from central or inner vestibular pathology. We may refer you to an Audiologist for further examination. Specialty testing can confirm the diagnosis and allow us to focus on a treatment plan. We will create a comprehensive plan of care aimed at reducing symptoms and improving function.

Cervicogenic Dizziness (Vertigo)

This is a condition that generally involves a combination of increased tension and poor posture of the upper back and neck, causing pain and producing symptoms of dizziness, lightheadedness, blurred vision, and imbalance or unsteadiness. This can be assessed and diagnosed by a skilled and knowledgeable physical therapist. Treatments for this condition involve a combination of vestibular retraining interventions and exercises, combined with postural training and exercises to improve stature and endurance of the upper back and neck, to reduce stress to the area, therefore reducing tension and relieving pain and vertigo-like symptoms.

Vestibular Physical Therapy Exercises

Vestibular therapy exercises reduce symptoms. They require time and repetition to achieve results. Often, these exercises become a part of the patient's home exercise routine.

Manual therapy is another critical component of the treatment plan. It involves continuous monitoring of symptoms to ensure no peripheral vertigo is present. We also address any stress and tension in the cervical and upper back regions.
