Balance Problems and Dizziness: Vestibular Physiotherapy in Faridabad

Balance Problems and Vertigo: Physiotherapy Treatment in Faridabad

Balance problems and vertigo can be profoundly disabling. The fear of falling, the dizziness with head movements, and the loss of confidence in walking and daily activities measurably reduces quality of life.

Physiotherapy — specifically vestibular rehabilitation and balance retraining — is the most effective treatment for most balance and vertigo conditions, often producing dramatic improvement within weeks.

At Realign Rehab Clinic , NIT-5, Faridabad, our expert physiotherapist Dr. Vaishali Suri provides evidence-based treatment built around your specific needs.

We serve patients from NIT, Sector 14, Old Faridabad, Green Field Colony, Ballabhgarh, Surajkund, and surrounding areas.

Causes and Risk Factors

• Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) — displaced otoconia crystals in the inner ear semicircular canals
• Vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis — viral damage to the inner ear balance organ
• Cervicogenic dizziness — neck joint and muscle dysfunction contributing to balance problems
• Age-related vestibular decline — sensorineural degeneration causing imbalance in elderly
• Menière's disease — episodic vertigo with tinnitus and hearing changes
• Post-concussion syndrome — balance disturbance after head injury

Signs and Symptoms

• Sudden intense spinning sensation (vertigo) triggered by head position changes
• Unsteadiness when walking, particularly in the dark or on uneven surfaces
• Dizziness when turning over in bed or looking up

Frequently Asked Questions

Can physiotherapy cure vertigo?

For BPPV (the most common cause of vertigo), the Epley manoeuvre is curative in a single session for most patients. For other causes, vestibular rehabilitation clearly reduces dizziness and improves balance, often eliminating symptoms entirely.

How quickly does the Epley manoeuvre work?

A second session resolves most remaining cases.

Is my dizziness vertigo or something more serious?

Most dizziness is benign and vestibular in origin. Red flags requiring urgent medical attention: vertigo with sudden severe headache, double vision, difficulty speaking or swallowing, unilateral weakness or numbness, or loss of consciousness.

If in doubt, seek immediate medical assessment.

Can physiotherapy help with Menière's disease?

Yes — while we cannot cure Menière's disease, vestibular rehabilitation between episodes improves central compensation, reduces the impact of episodes on daily function, and helps maintain balance capacity. Coordination with an ENT specialist is important.
