What Is Vertigo?
Vertigo is a symptom characterized by the false sensation of spinning or movement. It is commonly associated with dysfunction in the vestibular system (inner ear and brain pathways responsible for balance). Patients may experience:
- Spinning or tilting sensations
- Imbalance or unsteadiness
- Nausea or vomiting
- Visual disturbances
- Difficulty with walking or head movements
These symptoms can significantly impact daily activities and quality of life if leftuntreated.
Our Clinical Approach
At New Light Physiotherapy, we take a comprehensive and patient-centered
approach to vertigo care. Our physiotherapists are trained to assess and treat a wide
range of vestibular conditions using clinically proven techniques.
Detailed Assessment
Your initial visit includes a thorough evaluation to determine the underlying cause of
vertigo. This may involve:
- Review of symptom history and triggers
- Positional testing (e.g., Dix-Hallpike test)
- Eye movement (oculomotor) assessment
- Balance and gait analysis
- Cervical spine screening
Accurate diagnosis is essential to ensure effective treatment.

Treatment Options
Treatment is tailored to your specific diagnosis and may include:
Canalith Repositioning Maneuvers

A customized exercise program designed to retrain the brain and improve balance, including:
- Gaze stabilization exercises
- Habituation exercises

Manual Therapy and Cervical Treatment
If symptoms are related to neck dysfunction, hands-on therapy and targeted exercises may be incorporated.
