Vertigo and Vestibular Rehabilitation in Faridabad: Physiotherapy Treatment

Vertigo: A Treatable Condition

Vertigo — the sensation of spinning or movement when you're stationary — is one of the most common neurological symptoms, affecting approximately 5–10% of adults. While vertigo can have many causes (including serious ones requiring immediate medical assessment), the most common cause is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) — a completely treatable condition that physiotherapists can resolve quickly.

BPPV: The Most Common Vertigo

BPPV occurs when calcium carbonate crystals (otoconia) that normally sit in the utricle of the inner ear become dislodged and migrate into the semicircular canals. This creates abnormal fluid movement when the head moves in specific directions, causing brief but intense episodes of spinning vertigo. BPPV is the most common vestibular disorder and accounts for 50% of all peripheral vertigo.

The Epley Manoeuvre: BPPV Treatment

The Epley manoeuvre is a series of specific head position changes that move the dislodged crystals back out of the affected semicircular canal. It has a 90%+ success rate and often resolves BPPV in a single session. The manoeuvre takes less than 10 minutes and provides immediate relief. This is why seeing a physiotherapist trained in vestibular rehabilitation is important — most BPPV cases don't need medication or investigations.

Other Vestibular Conditions

Vestibular Neuritis / Labyrinthitis: Post-viral inner ear inflammation causing persistent dizziness. Vestibular rehabilitation exercises promote central compensation. Unilateral Vestibular Hypofunction: Reduced function of one vestibular organ. Gaze stabilisation exercises and balance training are the primary treatment. Chronic Dizziness: Many patients with chronic dizziness have a persistent postural perceptual dizziness (PPPD) that responds to habituation exercises.
