Vertigo and BPPV

Managing Vertigo and BPPV at United PT in Manchester

At United Physical Therapy in Manchester, we specialize in managing vertigo and Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), focusing on alleviating symptoms, restoring balance, and improving quality of life. Vertigo and BPPV can cause episodes of dizziness, spinning sensations, and loss of balance, often disrupting daily activities. Our targeted approach aims to address these symptoms, enhance vestibular function, and empower individuals to regain stability and confidence.

Personalized Treatment Plans: We develop customized treatment plans tailored to each individual’s specific needs, symptoms, and goals. Our thorough assessments help us identify the underlying causes of vertigo and BPPV, allowing us to implement targeted strategies for effective management.

Vestibular Rehabilitation Techniques: Our specialized vestibular rehabilitation techniques aim to retrain the vestibular system, which plays a crucial role in balance and spatial orientation. Through exercises and maneuvers, we work to improve vestibular function, reduce symptoms of vertigo and BPPV, and enhance overall balance and stability.

Canalith Repositioning Maneuvers: For individuals with BPPV, canalith repositioning maneuvers are often effective in repositioning displaced crystals in the inner ear, alleviating symptoms of dizziness and vertigo. Our therapists are skilled in performing these maneuvers safely and effectively to provide relief and restore balance.

Balance and Gait Training: We incorporate balance and gait training exercises to improve stability and reduce the risk of falls associated with vertigo and BPPV. By targeting specific balance impairments, we help individuals regain confidence in their ability to perform daily activities safely and independently.

Education and Lifestyle Modifications: Educating individuals about vertigo triggers and lifestyle modifications is essential for long-term management. We provide guidance on avoiding sudden head movements, maintaining hydration and proper nutrition, and implementing safety measures to prevent falls during vertigo episodes.

Empowering Recovery: Our goal is to empower individuals to take control of their symptoms and improve their quality of life. Through education, support, and personalized guidance, we equip individuals with the tools they need to manage vertigo and BPPV effectively, promoting lasting relief and enhanced well-being.
