Vertigo is the feeling of dizziness or a spinning sensation. It is due to a problem with the vestibular system in the inner ear which helps us maintain a steady sense of balance. There are two types of vertigo:
- Subjective vertigo : a feeling that you are moving
- Objective vertigo : a feeling that things around you are moving
Vertigo can also be caused by a disruption in certain areas of the brain or nerves supplying the ear and therefore it is important that you receive medical advice as soon as you start experiencing symptoms of vertigo. Physiotherapy is a very effective way of reducing the symptoms of vertigo and the specialist physiotherapists at are experienced in treating such complex conditions.
