Understanding Vertigo: Causes, Symptoms & Physiotherapy Care at Physio360 Chennai.

INTRODUCTION;

Feeling like the world is spinning around you, even while standing still? That sensation is called vertigo, a disorienting condition that can significantly affect your balance, focus, and daily life. At Physio360 Chennai, we specialise in helping patients manage and recover from vertigo with evidence-based vestibular rehabilitation and customised physiotherapy plans.

What Is Vertigo?

Vertigo is a type of dizziness where you feel like you or your surroundings are moving or spinning. It’s not a disease itself, but rather a symptom of underlying conditions affecting the inner ear or brain.

Common causes include:

• ✅ Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)

• ✅ Vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis

• ✅ Meniere’s disease

• ✅ Head trauma

• ✅ Cervicogenic dizziness (neck-related vertigo)

• ✅ Postural instability after stroke

  
  

Symptoms of Vertigo

People experiencing vertigo may report:

• Spinning or tilting sensation

• Loss of balance or unsteadiness

• Nausea or vomiting

• Blurred vision or nystagmus

• Headache or ear ringing (tinnitus)

If these symptoms last for more than a few seconds or minutes — or if they recur frequently — a proper physiotherapy assessment at Physio360 is essential.

Role of Physiotherapy in Treating Vertigo

At Physio360, we don’t just treat the symptoms — we identify the root cause. Our team of expert physiotherapists in Chennai are trained in vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) to restore balance and improve inner ear function.

• ✔️ Brandt-Daroff Exercises – for habituation and adaptation

• ✔️ Vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) training – to improve gaze stability
