Vertigo

Understanding the Sensation of Spinning

What is Vertigo?

Vertigo is a sensation of dizziness or spinning, often triggered by changes in head position. Common Types of Vertigo are:

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)

Caused by calcium crystals dislodging in the inner ear, leading to brief episodes of intense vertigo.

Cervicogenic Vertigo

Associated with neck pain and stiffness, often triggered by neck movements.

Symptoms of Vertigo

Vertigo can significantly impact daily life, causing uncomfortable symptoms that disrupt balance and well-being. Common indicators include a spinning sensation, dizziness, nausea, and challenges with coordination. Severe cases may also bring on headaches, particularly with cervicogenic vertigo. Understanding these symptoms is the first step in finding relief and restoring stability.
