What is Vertigo & Dizziness Physical Therapy?

​

Vertigo and dizziness physical therapy is a type of therapy that helps people who feel dizzy or have dizzy spells, get lightheaded or experience vertigo.

This therapy includes treatments for conditions related to the vestibular system, which is part of the inner ear that helps control balance and spatial orientation. This therapy can help you feel more stable and reduce dizziness and vertigo, such as vertigo you might get when lying down.
