Have you ever gotten up in the morning and suddenly felt like the room is spinning? Or found yourself avoiding busy environments like a shopping mall because they make you feel dizzy or off balance, and started to wonder why that is? Well I am here to tell you that it’s not just all in your head! What you are actually experiencing is a problem with your balance system known as vertigo.
“Over 30% of people will suffer from vertigo or dizziness at some stage in their life, and if left untreated then it will usually get worse, or reoccur.”
It is important to be assessed by a skilled and knowledgeable practitioner, if this goes undiagnosed or gets missed then you can expect that your symptoms will deteriorate, you will get more and more dizzy/motion sick/nauseous, this can often impact on your social life, can force time off work, can even decrease your intimacy with loved ones. It is not something that you should put off to get treated!
In the right hands, when assessed by a passionate physiotherapist with an interest in vestibular rehabilitation, you will get peace of mind, a clear diagnosis and a plan to move you from frustration to freedom.
“We get so frustrated that people are having to put up with these symptoms when the solution is available.”
