​Common Causes of Vertigo in Calgary:​

• Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV): The most common culprit, BPPV occurs when tiny calcium particles get dislodged in the inner ear canals.

• Migraines: Vertigo can be a migraine symptom.

• Inner ear infection (labyrinthitis): Inflammation caused by an inner ear infection can trigger vertigo.

• Meniere's disease: This chronic inner ear disorder can cause vertigo, tinnitus (ringing ears), and hearing loss.

• Cervicogenic dizziness: This type of dizziness may originate from neck problems like muscle strain or joint dysfunction.

Symptoms of Vertigo to Watch Out For

• A spinning or tilting sensation

• Lightheadedness or feeling faint

• Nausea and vomiting

• Difficulty maintaining balance

• Blurred vision or difficulty focusing your eyes

How Physiotherapy Can Help Manage Vertigo in Calgary: Fix Physio's Calgary physiotherapists are trained to assess and treat vertigo. Your personalized treatment plan might include:

• Canalith repositioning maneuvers (CRM): These specific head movements aim to dislodge the calcium particles causing BPPV, restoring normal function in the inner ear canals.

• Vestibular rehabilitation exercises: These exercises help retrain your brain to better interpret signals from your inner ear and other balance systems, reducing vertigo symptoms.

• Cervical spine physiotherapy: If your vertigo is cervicogenic, physiotherapy techniques target your neck muscles and joints to improve mobility and function, potentially reducing dizziness.

​​

How Acupuncture Can Help Manage Vertigo in Calgary: Acupuncture, a traditional Chinese medicine practice involving the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body, has also shown promise in managing vertigo. Studies suggest acupuncture may help by:

• Stimulating the release of endorphins: These natural painkillers can help alleviate vertigo-associated nausea and vomiting.

• Improving blood flow: Increased circulation may promote healing and reduce inflammation in the inner ear.

• Modulating the nervous system: Acupuncture may help regulate nerve activity, potentially reducing dizziness.
