Understanding Vertigo and Dizziness

Vertigo is more than just a feeling of lightheadedness — it’s a false sense that you or your surroundings are moving. Dizziness, on the other hand, can feel like imbalance, unsteadiness, or a loss of coordination. These sensations often come from problems in the inner ear or vestibular system, which controls balance and spatial orientation.

Common causes include:
  • Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) – caused by crystals in the inner ear shifting position
  • Mal de Debarquement (Disembarkment) Syndromecould happen after taking a cruise or flying
  • Concussion or head injury
  • Neck or postural dysfunction (cervicogenic dizziness)
  • Migraine-related dizziness

The good news is that most forms of vertigo and dizziness respond very well to targeted physical therapy.

How Physical Therapy Can Help Vertigo and Balance

At Kickstart Physical Therapy, we provide vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) — a specialized form of physical therapy designed to retrain your brain and body to maintain balance and orientation.

Your personalized plan may include:
  • Canalith repositioning maneuvers (such as Epley, modified Semont and Gans maneuvers for BPPV)
  • Gaze stabilization and visual tracking exercises
  • Balance training to improve coordination and posture
  • Neck mobility and strengthening exercises
  • Habituation exercises to reduce motion sensitivity

These techniques are safe, effective, and supported by research from top medical institutions. Many patients experience significant improvement — often within just a few sessions.
