Vertigo can make even simple tasks feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone — and help is available. At Perfect Motion Physiotherapy in Adelaide, our experienced physiotherapists offer effective, evidence-based treatment for vertigo and balance disorders to help restore your confidence and stability.
Why Am I Experiencing Vertigo?
Vertigo is typically caused by issues in the inner ear or vestibular system, which controls balance and coordination. It often feels like you or your surroundings are moving when they aren’t. Some people also experience:
- Nausea or vomiting
- Loss of balance
- Blurred vision or difficulty focusing
- Sweating or faintness
- A spinning sensation when changing positions
Vertigo can stem from a variety of causes, including:
- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) – triggered by certain head movements
- Vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis – inner ear infections
- Meniere’s disease – fluid pressure in the inner ear
- Migraines – particularly vestibular migraines
- Neurological conditions such as stroke
How Can Physiotherapy Help with Vertigo?
At Perfect Motion Physiotherapy, we use vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) to target the root cause of your vertigo. Our Adelaide-based physiotherapists will conduct a thorough assessment to understand your symptoms and design a personalised treatment plan.
Your treatment may include:
- Canalith repositioning techniques (e.g., Epley manoeuvre)
- Balance retraining and stability exercises
- Gaze stabilisation exercises
- Manual therapy for associated neck dysfunction
- Education on head and body movement strategies
These techniques can provide immediate relief for some and long-term improvement for most patients, even in chronic or recurring cases.
When Should I Seek Help?
If you’re noticing signs such as:
- Frequent dizziness
- Feeling off-balance or unsteady
- Head movement causing spinning sensations
- Trouble walking straight or concentrating
Then it’s time to see a physiotherapist. Vertigo can increase your risk of falls and significantly impact your quality of life. The sooner treatment begins, the quicker you can return to normal activities.
