Vertigo and dizziness can significantly impact daily activity, driving, and quality of life if not properly diagnosed. Our physiotherapists are experienced in assessing, treating, and managing a wide range of vestibular and balance conditions, including

• BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo)
• Vestibular neuritis and labyrinthitis
• Cervicogenic (neck-related) dizziness
• Post-concussion dizziness and balance issues

We develop personalized treatment plans based on a thorough assessment of your balance system, eye movements, and neck mobility, since treatment differs significantly depending on the underlying cause.

Because dizziness can stem from several different systems in the body, an accurate diagnosis is essential before treatment begins. As part of our vertigo and dizziness services, we:

• Conduct detailed positional and balance testing to identify the type of vertigo
• Use specific repositioning maneuvers and vestibular exercises where appropriate
• Address any contributing neck restriction or tension

Our physiotherapists are proficient in treating a variety of vestibular and balance conditions, ensuring that every patient receives care specific to their diagnosis. Some of the most common conditions we see at The Physio Studio Health and Wellness Center include:

• BPPV

  The most common cause of vertigo, triggered by rolling over in bed or looking up, often resolved quickly with targeted repositioning techniques.

• Vestibular Neuritis

  Inner ear inflammation causing sudden, often severe dizziness that improves with vestibular rehabilitation exercises.

• Cervicogenic Dizziness

  Dizziness linked to neck restriction or tension, common after whiplash or prolonged poor posture.

• Post-Concussion Dizziness

  Dizziness and balance issues persisting after a head injury, often treated alongside concussion management.

• General Balance and Unsteadiness

  Non-specific dizziness or balance concerns, common with aging or after a fall.

We begin with a detailed assessment of your balance system, eye movements, and neck mobility to pinpoint the type of vertigo you're dealing with. Based on this, we develop a treatment plan that may include:

• Vestibular rehabilitation with targeted repositioning and habituation exercises
• Manual therapy to address neck-related contributions to dizziness
• Concussion management for head-injury-related dizziness
• Balance retraining to rebuild confidence in movement
• Education and home exercise programs to support ongoing recovery

At The Physio Studio Health and Wellness Center, we offer direct billing to most extended health insurance providers, so there's no need for upfront payments in most cases.

Vertigo has several distinct underlying causes, and treatment that isn't matched to the correct diagnosis is unlikely to help. Our approach is designed to help you:

• Accurately identify the cause of your dizziness
• Reduce or resolve vertigo episodes
• Rebuild balance and confidence in movement
• Return safely to driving, work, and daily activity
