What causes dizziness and balance issues?

Dizziness and balance issues are common and may appear suddenly or gradually. Often linked to inner ear problems, head injuries, migraines, BPPV, or vestibular neuritis. Here's a quick breakdown:

    • Dizziness or a spinning sensation (vertigo)

    • Unsteady balance or frequent falls

    • Nausea or motion sensitivity

    • Blurred vision or difficulty focusing

  • Vestibular problems can stem from a range of factors, from inner ear disorders to head injuries. Some of the most common causes include:

    • Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)

    • Inner ear infections or inflammation (e.g. vestibular neuritis)

    • Concussions or head trauma

    • Migraine-related vestibular dysfunction

    • Age-related changes in the inner ear

    • Ototoxic medications

    • Underlying neurological conditions (e.g. multiple sclerosis)

  • We treat a wide range of vestibular issues, from sudden dizzy spells to long-standing balance problems. Common conditions we help with include:

    • Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) – brief spinning sensations triggered by head movements

    • Vestibular neuritis – inner ear inflammation causing sudden, intense dizziness and imbalance

    • Labyrinthitis – infection of the inner ear leading to vertigo, hearing loss, and nausea

    • Vestibular migraine – episodes of vertigo linked to migraine, even without a headache

    • Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) – long-lasting dizziness often triggered by motion or visual stimuli

    • Motion sensitivity – imbalance and discomfort when moving or riding in vehicles

    • Balance dysfunction – unsteadiness or frequent falls without a clear cause

    Whether you’re experiencing constant dizziness, trouble with balance, or vertigo that’s interfering with daily life, our experienced physios can develop a personalised treatment plan to help you regain control and confidence.

How do we treat Vestibular issues?

Physiotherapy for vestibular issues begins with a detailed assessment to identify the root cause, whether it’s BPPV, inner ear dysfunction, or neck-related triggers. From there, we create a tailored treatment plan to reduce dizziness, improve balance, and restore confidence. Common treatments include:

  • A person receives physical therapy, stretching arm; mirrored reflection.

    Active Release Technique

    Active Release Technique (ART) is a hands-on treatment that targets tight or injured muscles, tendons, and fascia. It applies tension while gently moving the shoulder to break up scar tissue and restore movement—ideal for issues like impingement, overuse injuries, or rotator cuff strain.

    Dry Needling

    Dry needling helps release tight trigger points in the shoulder muscles, especially those causing pain or restricted movement. The needle creates a twitch response to relax the muscle, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. It’s often used for deep knots that don’t respond to massage alone.

    Exercise Therapy

    Once your pain starts to settle, we’ll guide you through targeted exercises to improve shoulder strength, posture, and mobility. This helps prevent future flare-ups and supports long-term recovery. Whether you’ve injured your shoulder at the gym, work, or sport, we’ll help you build it back better.

    Myofascial Release

    Myofascial cupping uses negative pressure to lift and release tension in the muscles and fascia, especially around the neck and upper back, which can contribute to dizziness or imbalance. It helps improve circulation, reduce tightness, and support better posture as part of your vestibular recovery.

Vestibular Physio FAQ

  • Vestibular physio is effective for conditions like BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo), vestibular neuritis, labyrinthitis, vestibular migraines, and general balance disorders. It can also help reduce symptoms from concussions or motion sensitivity.

  • If you experience frequent dizziness, unsteadiness, spinning sensations, or balance issues, especially when turning your head or changing positions, you may benefit from vestibular physio. A proper assessment at Elite HP can confirm the best course of action.

  • Your session begins with a detailed assessment of your symptoms, eye movements, balance, and posture. Treatment may include repositioning maneuvers (like the Epley), gaze stabilization exercises, balance training, and manual therapy if needed.

  • Many people notice improvement within 1–3 sessions, especially with conditions like BPPV. However, more complex or long-term vestibular issues may take a few weeks of consistent treatment. At Elite HP, your plan is tailored to your specific condition and goals.
