How Can You Recover From Vestibular Problems?
Vestibular problems can manifest with a variety of symptoms, as the vestibular system plays a crucial role in balance and spatial orientation. Some common symptoms of vestibular problems include vertigo, which is a sensation of spinning or dizziness often described as feeling like the room is spinning around you or that you are spinning within the room. This can be triggered by certain head movements.
Alongside vertigo, individuals may experience dizziness, characterized by a feeling of light-headedness or unsteadiness, which may worsen with movement or changes in position.
People with vestibular problems may also experience increased sensitivity to motion, especially movements of the head or body, which can exacerbate symptoms. Spatial disorientation is common, with people feeling confused or disoriented about their surroundings or their body’s position in space.
Tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, may accompany vestibular problems, adding to the overall discomfort experienced.
At CustomFit, there are two dedicated therapists specializing in the treatment of vestibular problems, which involve issues with the vestibular system, a small organ located in the inner ear responsible for maintaining balance. One common diagnosis within this realm is BPPV, often recognized by extreme dizziness and sometimes accompanied by nausea.

Many individuals have likely encountered someone experiencing the unsettling symptoms of vertigo, which can stem from BPPV. This condition manifests as a sensation of spinning or intense dizziness. Fortunately, when diagnosed with BPPV, individuals can be referred to a physical therapist who can pinpoint the affected side of the vestibular system through specific diagnostic maneuvers and treatment techniques.
These treatments typically involve targeted movements of the head and other therapeutic interventions aimed at correcting the underlying vestibular issue. Remarkably, significant improvement is often achieved within just a few sessions, with dizziness symptoms significantly reduced or entirely resolved.
