“I get dizzy” \u2014 one of the most common and most confusing complaints: sometimes the room spins, sometimes it is just unsteadiness or a “foggy head”. The correct first step is not a pill but identifying the TYPE of dizziness \u2014 because each type has a different treatment.<\/p>\n
Vertigo \u2014 the false sensation of spinning \u2014 usually points to the inner ear (BPPV, most common) or, more rarely, central causes. Unsteadiness \u2014 “I wobble when walking” \u2014 often relates to balance, strength and proprioception, especially in older adults. Cervicogenic dizziness \u2014 “foggy head” with a tense neck \u2014 is sustained by upper cervical dysfunction. Presyncope \u2014 feeling faint \u2014 relates to circulation and needs medical evaluation.<\/p>\n
Spinning episodes with position changes, insecurity when walking and fear of falling, mental “fog” with neck tension, worse with screens or crowded spaces, and associated fatigue.<\/p>\n
BPPV, upper cervical dysfunction and forward-head posture, vestibular hypofunction after viral illness, deconditioned balance in older adults, anxiety (a real amplifier), medications and blood pressure \u2014 medical causes are triaged at assessment.<\/p>\n
Largely yes: BPPV \u2014 with repositioning manoeuvres; cervicogenic dizziness \u2014 with manual therapy and exercise; unsteadiness \u2014 with progressive balance training; vestibular hypofunction \u2014 with vestibular rehabilitation. Chronic “dizziness pills” can actually delay the brain’s adaptation.<\/p>\n
Structured assessment: episode history, positional and balance testing, cervical evaluation, triage of signs needing a doctor. Then the plan matched to your type: manoeuvres, vestibular rehab, cervical manual therapy, balance training and confidence in movement. All in English.<\/p>\n
BPPV: often 1\u20133 sessions. Cervical and balance forms: 4\u20138 week programmes with measurable progress.<\/p>\n
If dizziness keeps returning or has reduced your activity, book an assessment. Dizziness with slurred speech, double vision, sudden weakness or fainting is an emergency \u2014 call 112.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
