Treatments for dizziness complaints

BPPV is one of the most common causes of rotational vertigo and can usually be treated effectively with specific repositioning manoeuvres aimed at moving dislodged crystals in the vestibular organ.

Balance training focuses on improving balance, stability, and confidence during standing and movement. This training can be part of vestibular rehabilitation but can also be applied for general balance problems.

Cervicogenic dizziness involves a light-headed or unstable feeling that may be related to neck problems. Treatment focuses on improving neck function and the coordination between the neck, eyes, and balance system.

Dizziness and balance problems can significantly affect walking. People may become uncertain, walk more slowly, or avoid situations. Gait training focuses on improving stability, confidence, and freedom of movement while walking.

Gaze stabilisation training is a component of vestibular rehabilitation. Treatment focuses on improving the coordination between the vestibular organ and the eyes, allowing you to see clearly during head movements.

Habituation training is a form of exercise therapy in which the balance system gradually gets used to movements or situations that trigger dizziness. It is often applied to people who have become sensitive to certain movements.

PPPD stands for Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness. In PPPD, people experience long-term dizziness or instability. Symptoms often increase with standing, walking, moving, or in visually busy environments. Treatment focuses on retraining the balance system.

After CPA tumour surgery, the balance system may function differently or less well. Vestibular rehabilitation can help the body adapt to this new situation and improve balance.

Vestibular rehabilitation is a form of exercise therapy for people with dizziness and balance complaints. Treatment focuses on improving balance, stability, gaze stabilisation, and confidence in movement.

Some people with dizziness mainly experience symptoms in visually busy environments such as supermarkets, shopping centres, traffic, or stations. Visual stimulus training aims to improve tolerance for visual stimuli.
