Techniques Used in Vestibular Physiotherapy

Vestibular physiotherapy uses a wide range of techniques to treat and relieve vestibular problems. These techniques especially designed to address the patient’s symptoms and the intricacies of their vestibular impairment. The following are some basic vestibular physiotherapy techniques:   

Manual Therapy

Particular head and neck movements and adjustments are part of manual therapy. By addressing vestibular system abnormalities, these techniques might help relieve vertigo and dizziness, especially in cases like Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV).

Gaze Stabilization Exercises

These exercises are meant to help with eye movement control, which is important for people whose vestibular disorders cause visual abnormalities. Patients who benefit from vestibulo-ocular reflex enhancement may see a decrease in symptoms such as fuzzy vision. 

Balance Training

This increases stability and reduces the risk of falls. Patients perform customized exercises to enhance their gait, balance, and posture. By gently taxing the balance system, these workouts promote changes in the brain that counteract inner ear problems.

Common Causes of Vestibular Disorders

Vestibular disorders can stem from a variety of conditions affecting the inner ear and balance mechanisms within the body. Here are some of the most common causes:

Vestibular Migraine: This type of migraine can cause vestibular symptoms such as severe dizziness, rather than or in addition to the classic migraine headache.
Trauma: Injuries to the head or ear can lead to vestibular disorders, affecting the inner ear's ability to help regulate balance.
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV): A leading cause where tiny calcium particles clump in the inner ear. Movements such as tilting the head can trigger short, intense episodes of vertigo.
Post-acoustic Neuroma Removal: Surgery to remove noncancerous growths on the vestibular nerve can result in vestibular symptoms, including balance difficulties and dizziness.

What To Expect On Your First Visit

An essential first step on the road to recovery and better physical function is your initial appointment to our clinic for vestibular physiotherapy. What to expect on your first appointment is as follows:

Symptom and History Review: We will have a comprehensive conversation about your symptoms, how they impact your daily life, and any past medical or treatment histories before we start our session.  
Physical Examination: We conduct an in-depth examination to assess the nature of your vestibular disorder. This includes tests for balance, gait analysis, and evaluating your vestibulo-ocular reflex, which affects how you maintain focus when your head moves.
Diagnosis and Plan: We will evaluate your problem, give you an accurate diagnosis, and discuss the advantages of vestibular physiotherapy. After that, we'll set out a customized therapy plan with attainable objectives for your rehabilitation.
Initial Treatment: Depending on your symptoms, initial treatments may include specific maneuvers to address vertigo, as well as techniques to alleviate dizziness. 
Home Exercise Program: You'll get a personalized set of exercises designed to improve your balance and reduce symptoms at home, playing a crucial role in your overall rehabilitation process.
Self-Management Tips: We'll provide guidance on how to control your symptoms and avoid more attacks, going over important topics like home safety and activity adjustments to lessen vertigo.
Follow-up Visits: Your progress will be closely monitored through scheduled follow-up appointments, where we'll adjust your treatment plan as needed.

Tips for Managing Vestibular Symptoms After Physiotherapy

Several practices must be followed after your vestibular physiotherapy sessions in order to guarantee ongoing progress and avoid setbacks. The following are some practical methods for handling your recuperation:

Follow Your Physiotherapist's Advice: Stick to the exercises and follow-up care recommended by your therapist. Gradually return to daily activities under their guidance. 
Maintain an Active Lifestyle: Participate in low-intensity activities like walking, which don't worsen your symptoms, to keep active.
Proper Nutrition and Hydration: Focus on a nutrient-rich diet and plenty of water to support your body's healing process.
Keep Track of Symptoms: Monitor any changes in your symptoms or triggers to discuss with your physiotherapist for tailored adjustments to your treatment.

I am in tears, dr rishi is honestly my hero. This man has fixed my back as I’ve fallen off course with my appointments on a few occasions. Dr rishi IS THE BEST chiropractor I’ve ever dealt with. He is so genuine and so caring towards his patients. He really is following his calling. I’ve dealt with disc issues for years and have been to many other chiropractors in my lifetime. Dr rishi has helped me get a better understanding of what my body needs to stay able bodied, with his help I can continue to do everything I desire. His therapy includes extras. Things that no other chiropractor has done for me. He does a combination of ultrasound therapy, thumper, heat packs ect because he knows my body requires more than just an adjustment. He has taught me so much about his therapy’s which has given me a clear understanding of what my body requires. I cannot thank this man enough. A 5 star review does not do this man Justice. He needs a million stars, this man deserves the world because he’s given myself and likely many others a chance to live their lives pain free. I highly recommend that anyone with disc issues come see dr rishi. He will take great care of you. I did not know it was possible to feel physically “normal” until I met him.

I have been under care of Rishi (chiro) and Rahil (physio) for my lower back pain involving disc buldge and sciatica nerve since my injury in near the end of last year. These guys have really helped me to manage my pain and get back to my day to day life. Everyone from staff is polite and caring. I highly recommend them.

Had a great experience with Dr.Rishi and the rest of the staff. I had the worst back pain and he really took his time to make sure he dealt with the situation properly; I was already feeling better just within 2 sessions.
