If the room spins when you lie down, turn over in bed, bend to tie your shoes, or move your head, Progressive Physical Therapy can help identify your triggers and create a personalized path forward.
Your vestibular system helps control spatial orientation and equilibrium by integrating signals from your eyes, inner ear, and brain. When those pathways are not working together smoothly, dizziness, unsteadiness, nausea, or a spinning sensation can disrupt daily life.
Our vestibular rehabilitation specialists use comprehensive balance testing to identify the movements and situations that provoke symptoms, then align care to your exact presentation.
A careful evaluation helps distinguish among several possible sources of persistent dizziness or vertigo.
Displaced crystals within the inner ear can upset the vestibular system and provoke spinning sensations with position changes.
Inflammation of nerves involved in balance control can cause room-spinning sensations, nausea, and vision alterations.
Excess inner-ear fluid pressure may cause intermittent vertigo episodes along with hearing loss and a feeling of ear fullness.
Irritation in nerve pathways between the brain and inner ear can prompt vertigo before or during migraine headaches.
Following advanced assessment of eye movements, balance reactions, and inner-ear signals, your therapist develops a progressive plan to help rebuild communication between visual, proprioceptive, and vestibular systems.
Specialized repositioning techniques move loose crystals from the semicircular canals back to their normal orientation, restoring vestibular function for BPPV.
Controlled movements and visual-fixation challenges retrain stability reactions and help the brain adapt to position and movement changes.
Gradually increasing exposure to symptom-provoking stimuli helps reduce sensitivity to motion or positional changes and decrease episode frequency and severity.
When severe nausea or anxiety is involved, medication may provide symptomatic relief so you can better engage in therapy. Your plan is matched to diagnostic findings and adjusted as you progress.
Rapid position changes, looking upward, screens or busy patterns, and head movements beyond the vestibular system’s stability limits can trigger attacks for people prone to imbalance.
Yes. In some people, dehydration may aggravate delicate inner-ear and vestibular nerve connections, contributing to lightheadedness or unsteadiness. Healthy fluid intake can help prevent this.
Customized vestibular therapy uses controlled exposure and targeted balance retraining to rebuild faulty sensory connections and improve confidence with everyday movement.
Dizzy spells can make simple motion feel unpredictable and limit independence. At Progressive Physical Therapy, our specialists use customized interventions to target the root causes of dizziness and vertigo so you can move with greater clarity and confidence.
