Do fieldwork treat vertigo?

Yes we do!  The most common form of vertigo is BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo).  This vertigo occurs in your inner ear and happens when the otochondria (crystals) dislodge and start moving when you are not.  It is commonly made worse by movements of your head and lasts for up to a minute.

Common vestibular conditions we see are:

  • BPPV

  • Menieres

  • Unilateral vestibular disorders

Do i need to get my gp to refer to to see you?

Not at all!  Your gp may be useful to determine if your vertigo is something else (blood pressure related etc), but you do not need a referral to see us straight away.

Your doctor might also prescribe some medication to relieve the nausea or dizzy symptoms which can be helpful.  If you have been prescribed any medications please let the team know ASAP as it can affect your treatment

What can i do now at home?

Brant Daroff exercises are often used to help treat BPPV in clients and to do at home. Small movements, often, are the best way forward.  If you keep moving you will get better faster.  Try moving your head up/down, left/right when lying down or rolling in bed
