How to Get Rid of Vertigo Fast in Seal Beach, CA
The big questions is, can you get rid of vertigo quickly? That will depend on what is causing your dizziness. If your symptoms are described as:
Coming on with positional changes such as laying down, rolling over, or looking up
Lasting less than one minute
Described as the sensation of the room spinning
Then you most likely have BPPV!
BPPV is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. This is a problem where tiny little crystals that are supposed to be in the vestibular system (inner ear system that helps with equilibrium and balance) get displaced.
This is a quick fix!
90% of BPPV can be fixed in 1 visit with a maneuver that takes less than 5 minutes.
Vertigo can also be caused by
Vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis
Vestibular Migraines
Cervicogenic dizziness
3PD (Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness)
and more
These conditions typically require a longer course of vestibular physical therapy to get the results you want, often taking 1 to 2 months. In the case of a vestibular neuritis, it can take time for the brain to adapt to an impaired vestibular nerve and compensate for it., and the same can be said for most other conditions.
How quickly vertigo can be resolved will depend on what the root cause of your symptoms are!
