Ask a 'Vertigo Management Specialist' Online

The feeling of dizziness with or without movement is called vertigo. It is usually a symptom of some underlying medical condition. Mostly, vertigo resolves on its own. But for recurrent episodes, the following treatment options are available:

1. Vestibular rehabilitation – It is a type of physical therapy that strengthens the vestibular system. The vestibular system sends signals to the brain and helps in balancing the body.
2. Canalith repositioning maneuvers – This is a series of head and body movements that help the calcium deposits out of the canal into the inner ear, from where they get absorbed by the body.
3. Medicine – Medicines are given to relieve symptoms like nausea and vomiting.
4. Surgery – If vertigo is caused by some tumor, then surgery might be needed.
