Modern Cervicogenic Dizziness Rehabilitation Methods
For consistent success with vestibular rehabilitation, It is important to focus on a multi-modal therapy. Some balance and postural stability exercises using tools such as wobble discs or foam pads are tried and tested. However more modern equipment including lasers and app-guided solutions are now available, and proven to be highly effective rehabilitation methods for cervicogenic dizziness.
Differentiating Dizziness Versus Vertigo
Vertigo is an illusion of movement; a sensation as if the external world were revolving around the individual (objective vertigo), or as if the individual were revolving in space (subjective vertigo).
Vertigo is not a symptom arising from the cervical spine, but rather is caused by peripheral vestibular disorders or lesions within the vestibular pathways of the central nervous system.
Dizziness is the sensation of disturbed or impaired spatial orientation without a false or distorted sense of motion. (unsteadiness, lightheaded, swaying, disequilibrium)
