Frequently asked questions

According to the available research, vestibular rehabilitation is recommended for acute vestibular issues such as Labyrinthitis. Waiting for natural recovery can lead to secondary complications like visual vertigo, motion hypersensitivity and PPPD.

We usually see patients within a week of initial contact with us.

The initial appointment lasts for an hour. The follow-up appointment last between 45 minutes to an hour.

Dizziness can cause neck pain, similarly neck pain could cause dizziness too (Cervicogenic dizziness). In Cervicogenic dizziness, the treatment of neck pain will address dizziness as well. However, if it's vestibular dizziness, it would require vestibular rehabilitation.

Although vestibular medication is helpful in easing the acute symptoms, it’s long-term use can cause unnecessary side effects and could interfere with natural recovery. Please discuss with your GP before stopping the medication.

Although MRI and CT scan are helpful to rule out sinister causes, the most common causes of dizziness cannot be diagnosed with- MRI and CT scan. Vestibular Physiotherapy can be useful in diagnosing and treating vestibular conditions.

It is advisable to have someone drive you back as you might be advised by your therapist not to drive for a few hours after certain treatments such as Epley manoeuvre.

It is not unusual to have dizziness, vertigo and unsteadiness following a stroke, particularly if the stroke involved the structures that control balance. Vestibular rehabilitation can help reduce dizziness and improve balance.

Balance issues are very common in elderly population. The causes of dizziness and unsteadiness are often multifactorial. Therefore, multifactorial assessment and treatment including vestibular rehabilitation may be beneficial.

Dizziness could be due to inner ear problems as well as neck issues. While the compromised blood circulation to the brain can cause dizziness, it is not a common cause. To successfully treat it, the underlying cause needs to be correctly diagnosed and treated.

Visual symptoms are quite common in vestibular disorders. Comprehensive Vestibular assessment and treatment will help diagnose and treat the visual symptoms.

Epley manoeuvre will work only if underlying cause of dizziness is BPPV of the posterior canal (canalithiasis variant) and if the procedure is performed correctly. Correct diagnosis is crucial in treating the condition.
