Vertigo is a type of dizziness that is characterized by a sensation of spinning or whirling. It can be caused by a problem in the inner ear, which is responsible for maintaining balance, or by a problem in the brain, which processes balance information.
Physical therapy for vertigo starts with a thorough evaluation to identify the underlying cause and severity of the condition. The therapist creates an individualized treatment plan that may include targeted exercises to improve balance, eye movements, and reduce dizziness symptoms.
