Dizziness & Vertigo In Plymouth

Regain Balance and Stability from Dizziness & Vertigo in Plymouth, MA

Do you suddenly feel like the room is spinning when lying down or turning over in bed? Do you lose balance performing routine motions like bending to tie your shoes? Dysfunctional connections between your eyes, inner ear, and brain may be the cause.

As a mobile physical therapist, I provide one-on-one vestibular rehabilitation in the comfort of your home, offering tailored treatment plans designed to address your specific symptom triggers. My goal is to help you regain confidence in your movement through proven techniques that improve balance, coordination, and sensory integration.

What Causes Persistent Dizziness & Vertigo?

The vestibular system controls spatial orientation and balance by integrating multiple sensory signals that help determine body positioning. When this system is disrupted, symptoms such as dizziness and vertigo can occur. Common causes include:

• Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV): Small crystals in the inner ear become displaced, triggering spinning sensations when changing positions.
• Vestibular Neuritis: Inflammation of the vestibular nerve causes dizziness, nausea, and vision disturbances.
• Meniere’s Disease: Excess fluid in the inner ear leads to vertigo, hearing loss, and ear pressure.
• Migraines: Irritation of nerve pathways between the brain and inner ear can cause vertigo before or during migraine episodes.

Personalized Treatment for Dizziness & Vertigo

Through comprehensive balance assessments, I identify the specific causes of your symptoms and create a customized treatment plan using evidence-based interventions such as:

• Canalith Repositioning: Specialized techniques to move displaced crystals in the inner ear back into position, effectively treating BPPV.
• Balance Adaptation Exercises: Controlled movements and visual challenges to retrain your body’s balance reactions.
• Habituation Training: Gradual exposure to symptom-triggering movements to help your brain adapt and reduce dizziness over time.
• Gaze Stabilization Exercises: Eye movement training to improve focus and reduce symptoms during head movements.

The right combination of treatments can help restore your balance, decrease dizziness, and improve your overall quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What helps alleviate vertigo episodes long-term? While medications may provide short-term relief, customized vestibular therapy is the most effective way to retrain your balance system for lasting improvement.

What triggers sudden dizziness and vertigo? Rapid position changes, visual stimuli (such as screens or patterns), and certain head movements can provoke dizziness in people with vestibular dysfunction.

Can dehydration contribute to dizziness? Yes, dehydration can thicken inner ear fluids, which may affect vestibular nerve function and lead to dizziness, lightheadedness, or imbalance.
