Vertigo & Vestibular Physiotherapy

How physiotherapy can curb your vertigo

If you have ever suffered from vertigo, you would be familiar with that disconcerting spinning sensation or feeling dizzy. It is often due to a problem with the inner ear’s vestibular system, which helps us maintain a steady sense of balance and surroundings. Physiotherapy and vestibular therapy are highly effective in reducing vertigo. And its symptoms of vertigo. Our specialist physiotherapists at Austral New Age Physiotherapy are experienced in treating such complex conditions.

Our experienced physiotherapists use evidence-based techniques to diagnose and treat vertigo effectively. Whether it’s caused by vestibular dysfunction, inner ear issues, or other underlying conditions, our tailored vertigo physiotherapy treatments focus on alleviating symptoms and addressing the root cause. Through careful assessment and personalised care plans, we aim to help you find relief and prevent future episodes.  

New Age Physiotherapy provides a supportive and welcoming environment where you can feel comfortable discussing your symptoms and treatment goals. We combine modern technology with proven therapies to ensure you achieve the best possible outcomes.

What causes vertigo

What Causes Vertigo?

There are different causes of vertigo, and it is important to establish the exact reason behind your symptoms so you can get the most out of your physiotherapy treatment. Your physiotherapist at New Age Physiotherapy will conduct a comprehensive assessment to help determine the cause of vertigo. Most cases of vertigo are mild and only last for a short time. Unfortunately, some people report ongoing issues. The possible causes of vertigo include:
  • Labyrnthitis
  • Vestibular migraines
  • A bleed in the brain
  • A sudden movement change in direction
  • Head injury
  • Multiple sclerosis (MS)
  • Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)
  • Vestibular neuritis
  • Ménière’s disease
  • Acoustic Neuroma
Apart from feeling dizzy or experiencing a spinning sensation, there are other symptoms of vertigo. They include nausea, headaches, vomiting, feeling giddy, ringing in the ears, eye pain and others. We work with you to identify your symptoms and tailor our physiotherapy programs to minimise these.
