What are Vestibular Disorders?

Vestibular disorders stem from disruptions in the inner ear, which controls balance and spatial awareness. When this system is not functioning properly, it can lead to a variety of symptoms, including:

  • Spinning sensations (vertigo)

  • Chronic dizziness or lightheadedness

  • Nausea or sensitivity to motion

  • Blurred or unstable vision

  • Increased risk of falls or unsteadiness

These symptoms can affect your ability to work, enjoy hobbies, or even move around your home safely. At Aspire, we recognize the impact of these issues and work to restore balance and stability in your life through effective therapies and compassionate care.

Understanding BPPV

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is a common and treatable vestibular condition. It occurs when small calcium crystals in your inner ear become dislodged, leading to sudden and brief episodes of vertigo, often triggered by head movements. Many individuals with BPPV describe symptoms such as:

  • Sudden spinning sensations triggered by changes in head position

  • Nausea or discomfort during episodes

  • A sense of imbalance or instability

Fortunately, BPPV responds well to specific treatment techniques that target the underlying cause, offering relief and a path back to normalcy. With proper care, most individuals experience significant improvement, often within a short period. If left untreated, BPPV can persist or worsen, impacting daily activities and increasing the risk of falls. Seeking professional evaluation and treatment can help ensure a quick recovery and minimize disruption to your quality of life.
