Vertigo

There are multiple reasons that might cause dizziness. Most of them are relatively easy to solve. However, it is important not to miss the cases that require urgent intervention. For this reason, in any case of dizziness, the rehabilitator will perform a wide variety of tests to eliminate any emergency conditions, such as neurological diseases, blood, endocrine, heart or blood vessels diseases, diabetes, infections, and drug side effects.

Among the less common causes of vertigo are:

Eye problems
Ear infections
Numbness in the feet
Neurological problems in the central or peripheral neural system.

In cases of BPPV, the treatment usually involves maneuvering the patient's head by a physiotherapist. Based on extensive testing, the optimal maneuver must be chosen. Sometimes only one session is enough to deal with the problem, but in some cases, the treatment must be performed systematically over a number of visits.

If vertigo is caused by cervical problems, the treatment is by manual techniques, specialized equipment, acupuncture and rehabilitative exercises.
