Vertigo or the sensation of movement of yourself or your environment is among the most common causes of visits to the doctor. There can be many causes of vertigo or dizziness. These can range from insignificant causes such as feeling lightheaded to more severe causes like a stroke or tumor. One common cause of vertigo is benign positional vertigo or bppv. This article will focus on treatment in the form of vertigo exercises for this type of vertigo.
It is a pity that this form of vertigo is often treated with drugs or medication, which only serve to cover up or mask the symptoms. While they certainly will decrease the feelings of dizziness or nausea they are not correcting the underlying root problem. Next I will discuss the underlying cause of this type of vertigo, why drugs should not be your final solution and the best type of vertigo exercises for you.
The vertigo referred to as benign positional vertigo is said to be triggered by particles or debris that are loose within our balance organs. Semicircular canals are the proper name for our balance organs and they are found in our inner ears. They contain a fluid like substance, which when we move will activate little tiny hair like receptors. These receptors send messages to our brain to inform us about what direction we are moving in. The loose debris or particles interfere with the receptor messages to the brain and therefore we may feel an increased sensation of movement, thus the feeling of vertigo.
The loose particles must be moved to a different place to fix this problem. This cannot be done with drugs or medication, which will only depress your nervous system. This will result in you feeling less dizzy or nauseous because your nervous system has been depressed but the underlying cause of the problem has not been resolved. So even though you may symptomatically feel a little better with decreased symptoms the cause of the problem has not been rectified.
The best and safest way to correct this problem is vertigo exercises. Sadly, many people are given incorrect exercises or informed about the correct exercises in a wrong manner. It is usually for people to be instructed to do habituation exercises. These exercises focus on strongly stimulating the balance organs so they can adapt to strong stimulation, therefore your system hopefully wont feel so dizzy. This approach once again is not really correcting the problem, never the less it is a non drug option. This habituation exercise should be the second choice of vertigo exercises for people, unfortunately they are incorrectly used as the first option.
The best solution to this vertigo are specific vertigo exercises that move the particles or debris to a safer place. In this safer place they will not affect the receptors so much in the semi circular canals. This approach corrects the root cause of the problem of the loose debris or particles and does not just mask the symptoms. When done properly these exercises are very effective and safe.
