Dizziness and vertigo can affect balance, walking, focus, and daily movement. Many people describe vertigo as a spinning sensation, while dizziness may feel like lightheadedness, unsteadiness, or imbalance. These symptoms can appear suddenly and may interfere with work, driving, exercise, and household tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Ellerslie Physiotherapy & Wellness<\/a> in Edmonton, AB, our physiotherapy team provides assessments and treatment plans for individuals experiencing dizziness and vertigo. Our clinic focuses on improving balance, movement, coordination, and daily function through evidence-based physiotherapy care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dizziness is a broad term used to describe sensations such as imbalance, faintness, or instability. Vertigo refers to the feeling that the room is spinning or moving even when the body is still.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These symptoms may occur for many reasons, including inner-ear conditions, head injuries, neck problems, or changes in the balance system. Some individuals notice symptoms during walking, turning the head, changing positions, or standing up quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n BPPV is one of the most common causes of vertigo. It develops when small crystals inside the inner ear shift into areas where they should not be located. This may trigger spinning sensations during head movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The vestibular system helps control balance and body position. Conditions affecting this system may lead to dizziness, imbalance, nausea, or difficulty walking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Neck stiffness, poor posture, or previous injuries may contribute to dizziness symptoms in some individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Head trauma may affect balance, coordination, and visual focus, leading to dizziness or vertigo symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Changes in vision, muscle strength, and inner ear function may affect balance over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Symptoms vary from person to person and may range from mild to severe. Common symptoms include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many people feel as though the room is moving around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Walking on uneven surfaces or changing direction may become difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vertigo episodes may create nausea or motion sensitivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some individuals notice blurred vision or trouble concentrating during movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Neck stiffness and muscle tightness sometimes accompany dizziness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Busy environments, turning the head, or rapid movement may trigger symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At Ellerslie Physiotherapy & Wellness<\/a>, physiotherapy sessions begin with a detailed assessment. Our physiotherapists evaluate balance, Posture, walking patterns, neck mobility, eye movement, and symptom triggers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This assessment helps identify the source of dizziness or vertigo and supports the creation of a treatment plan suited to each individual\u2019s condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vestibular rehabilitation focuses on exercises that support balance, coordination, and movement control. These exercises may help the body adapt to changes in the balance system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For individuals with BPPV, physiotherapists may use repositioning movements to help move inner ear crystals back to their correct positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Balance exercises focus on stability during standing, walking, turning, and daily movement activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When dizziness is linked to neck tension or stiffness, physiotherapy may include mobility exercises and posture correction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Daily movement activities may become difficult during episodes of dizziness. Physiotherapy sessions often include walking drills and movement retraining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dizziness and vertigo may interfere with many parts of daily life, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some individuals may begin avoiding movement due to fear of symptom flare-ups.
