Do you want to get rid of your dizziness?
McCabe and Brady Physical Therapy is the solution!
Do you frequently experience dizziness? Do you ever feel like your dizziness is so bad that you’re going to trip or fall? Dizziness is commonly thought of as an altered sense of balance and is described as feeling lightheaded, faint, or as if your head is spinning. The first step in resolving your dizziness is to identify the source.
What are the most common symptoms associated with dizziness?
Dizziness can be caused or contributed to by a number of factors. Some people experience dizziness as a result of a lack of sleep, a poor diet, excessive exercise, or a disease such as a head cold or flu. Dizziness can also be caused by alcohol and drugs, including some prescription medications.
There are also physiological reasons, such as orthostatic hypotension, which is caused by abruptly or excessively rising after lying or sitting for an extended period of time. For some people, dizziness is the first sign of a migraine or vision problems.
Dizziness may be accompanied by the following symptoms:
- Loss of equilibrium
- Feeling faint
- Tunnel vision
- Heavy-headedness or light-headedness
- Nausea
- Unsteadiness
The most effective way to determine what is causing your dizziness is to see a physical therapist in Warminster or New Britain, PA. This will also help you identify any underlying conditions or factors that may be causing your overall condition.
How can physical therapy help with dizziness?
Physical therapy is a highly effective treatment option for dizziness that is interfering with your sense of stability and functioning.
Our physical therapists will conduct a thorough physical examination and medical history to ensure that we provide a personalized treatment plan. We will analyze the information gathered during your assessment to determine the specific cause of your dizziness and design our program accordingly.
The following are the most common treatments:
- Mitigating vestibular symptoms: One of the most common causes of dizziness is a condition of the inner ear known as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Specific head and body movements and positions can help to alleviate this condition. These movements aid in the restoration of calcium deposits, which alleviates dizziness.
- Vestibular rehabilitation and balance exercises: To reduce the effects of dizziness, specific balance exercises and activities that focus on the nervous system and nerve sensitivity are used.
