Four common culprits for dizziness and vertigo
Are dizziness or vertigo interfering with your daily life? You’re not alone! Despite being such common symptoms, diagnosing the root cause of these sensations can be challenging. Having a clear understanding of symptoms and their triggers can be empowering. It can lead to productive conversations with healthcare providers, and support an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
In this webinar, you will learn about four common underlying causes of dizziness and vertigo relating to the inner ear/vestibular system and how these disorders are managed.
Join Victoria Co and Taylor Jones, experienced and highly trained Lifemark vestibular physiotherapists, for a webinar about dizziness and vertigo. You will learn about how the following conditions are identified and treated:
- BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) – an inner ear condition where crystals move into the wrong part of the ear, creating brief spinning sensations
- Vestibular Neuritis or Labyrinthitis – an inner ear infection
- Vestibular Migraine – a type of migraine causing dizziness but not necessarily a headache
- PPPD (Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness) – a condition resulting from the psychological impact of dizziness
When: September 19th, 5:00pm PT, 6:00pm MT, 8:00pm ET, 9pm AT, 9:30pm NL
