How Can Physical Therapy Treat Vertigo?
Physical therapy is an effective approach for managing vertigo, particularly when it is caused by BPPV. At Ascend Physical Therapy, our therapists specialize in vestibular rehabilitation, an exercise-based program designed to improve balance and reduce dizziness-related problems. This type of therapy utilizes techniques such as the Epley maneuver or the Semont maneuver, which are specifically effective for BPPV by helping to reposition the dislodged crystals in the inner ear.
Additionally, vestibular rehabilitation may include exercises that focus on strengthening balance, improving coordination, and enhancing the ability of the eyes and brain to compensate for inner ear issues. These exercises are tailored to each patient’s specific symptoms and are adjusted as recovery progresses, allowing for a return to normal daily activities without the disruption of vertigo.
