Did You Know Physical Therapy Could Help With Those Spins?

Has your dizziness been impacting your daily life?

Weve all had the sensation of being dizzy as if you cant focus, cant see straight, cant stand upright without swaying or falling. You may even experience tunnel vision, where your peripheral vision goes dark for a few seconds.

Dizziness is common and can have many causes. Vertigo, however, is a little different. While dizziness is typically synonymous with lightheadedness, which creates the illusion of being unsteady, vertigo is typically a response to a physiological factor that is causing a literal imbalance in your body.

Those experiencing vertigo have reported feeling as if they are rocking or spinning, even when they are sitting still.

If you are living with dizziness or vertigo, dont hesitate to contact Health Source Physical Therapy today.
