Vertigo Treatment

Vertigo refers to a condition in which the patient feels lightheadedness, giddiness, and imbalance. It is one of the common types of dizziness that gives an illusion of movement without actual movement. You feel like your head or the surroundings are spinning. With Osteopathy for vertigo in Dubai, this condition can be treated without any drugs or surgery. 

Causes of Vertigo

The most prominent cause of vertigo is an inner ear problem. The following inner ear diseases can lead to vertigo:

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo – A condition in which small calcium particles accumulate in the inner ear canal. 

Meniere’s Disease – It is a disorder in which fluids build up and pressure changes in the inner ear. Meniere’s disease results in vertigo episodes, hearing loss, and ringing in the ears. 

Vestibular Neuritis – This inner ear disorder is related to infections that cause inflammation in the inner ear. 

Some other causes of vertigo also include: 

• Head or neck injury 
• Brain tumor or stroke 
• Migraine or headaches
• Medications that damage ears
• Epilepsy 
• Panic attacks or anxiety

How does Osteopathy help?

Osteopathy for vertigo is an effective treatment choice because it is entirely non-invasive. However, the osteopathic treatment varies from patient to patient according to their needs, symptoms, and causes. There are two main stages of Osteopathy for vertigo Dubai. The first is a diagnosis, and the second is treatment. 

The treatments are chosen based on the condition of the patient. The osteopathic treatments address the tightness and restricted motion in the neck. In addition to this, they also aim to restore the equilibrium of the vestibular system. 

How is Vertigo Diagnosed?

Here you should know that vertigo is not a disease. It is a symptom of an underlying illness, so it is essential to diagnose the cause of vertigo. Vertigo can be treated effectively only when the cause is identified. An osteopath can diagnose the cause of vertigo through detailed symptom analysis and examination of the patient. For this purpose, they use specific positioning maneuvers. 

Treatment Options

As mentioned above, osteopathic treatment for vertigo depends on what causes it. The most common treatment used for vertigo is known as Vestibular Rehabilitation. 

Vestibular rehabilitation is a physical therapy that helps strengthen the vestibular system. It improves balance and reduces the symptoms that are related to dizziness. 

Some other treatment options include;

• Repositioning maneuvers 
• Pharmacotherapy 
• Exercises 
• Lifestyle changes
