What is Vertigo?
Vertigo is a condition that causes dizziness, disorientation, and a sensation of spinning, often making everyday tasks difficult. For many people, even simple movements like turning their head or standing up can trigger symptoms. At After Hours Physio, we are expert in treating vertigo and related balance disorders in the comfort of your home, helping you regain stability and confidence.
Causes of Vertigo
Vertigo can arise from several underlying conditions, such as:
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV): When calcium particles in the inner ear become dislodged, causing dizziness.
Ménière’s Disease: A disorder caused by fluid buildup in the inner ear, affecting balance and hearing.
Vestibular Neuritis: An infection that inflames the vestibular nerve, leading to dizziness and imbalance.
Migraines: Vertigo can accompany migraine episodes, even without a headache.
Neck Injuries: Issues with the cervical spine (neck) can trigger vertigo, known as cervicogenic dizziness.
How Our Mobile Physiotherapy Service Can Help
At After Hours Physio, we offer comprehensive vertigo treatment in the convenience of your home, making it easier for you to manage your symptoms without the stress of travelling. Our mobile service is designed to provide the same high-quality care you would receive in a clinic, but with the added comfort and accessibility of home visits.
Our Vertigo Treatment Services Delivered to Your Door
1. Canalith Repositioning Maneuvers (for BPPV)
If your vertigo is caused by Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), we use specialized maneuvers like the Epley maneuver to reposition the tiny particles in your inner ear, alleviating dizziness and restoring your balance—all from the comfort of your home.
2. Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT)
We offer Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT), a tailored exercise program that helps retrain your brain to adapt to balance challenges. This includes:
- Balance and gait exercises to improve your stability.
- Gaze stabilization exercises to enhance the coordination between your eyes and your inner ear.
- Habituation exercises that gradually reduce sensitivity to movements that trigger vertigo.
3. Postural Training and Strengthening
By coming to your home, we can evaluate how your living environment might impact your posture and balance. Our physiotherapists will guide you through personalized exercises to improve your core strength and postural control, reducing the risk of falls.
4. Neck Therapy (Cervicogenic Dizziness)
If your vertigo is related to neck issues, our physiotherapists provide gentle manual therapy and guided exercises to relieve tension and improve cervical mobility.
5. Education and Home Safety Advice
We not only treat your vertigo but also provide practical advice on how to manage your condition at home. Our physiotherapists will help you identify and avoid movements that may trigger symptoms and suggest adjustments to your home to enhance your safety and prevent falls.
6. Fall Prevention Strategies
Vertigo increases the risk of falls, especially when navigating at home. Our physiotherapists will work with you on strategies to move safely, reduce the risk of accidents, and increase your confidence when performing daily activities.
