Verigo is a false sensation of spinning that causes you to feel off balance. At db Ortho PT, we have two certified specialists who are trained in treating balance, dizziness, and diagnosed vertigo cases. Vertigo is often caused by an inner ear problem called BPPV. These initials stand for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. BPPV occurs when tiny calcium particles (Otoconia) are dislodged from their normal location and collect in the canals of the inner ear, which sends signals to the brain. It helps you keep your balance. Through targeted and non-invasive Physical Therapy movements, our Doctors of Physical Therapy can drastically improve and, in many cases, eliminate the symptoms of vertigo. Watch our video and learn exactly how we do it.

What Does It Feel Like To Have Vertigo?

Many people describe vertigo as feeling like the room is spinning. It might cause you to feel like you’re tilted, rocking, unbalanced, or unsteady. For most patients, vertigo makes it hard to enjoy physical activities, can cause major discomfort and WILL negatively impact your overall quality of life. Sometimes these unpleasant sensations are worse rolling in bed, getting up too fast, walking, or moving your head fast. Many people describe these feelings as physically exhausting and taxing. Sometimes, the sensations are so severe you may experience nausea and/or vomiting.
