Vertigo: Causes, Prevention and Treatment

Balance allows you to maintain a stable and upright position when sitting, standing, reaching, walking and leaning. If you have a balance problem, you may experience tripping, swaying, stumbling, dizziness, vertigo or even falling. Your balance may seem fine when standing still or performing a single task, but balance problems may become apparent when you move about or try to do more than one thing at a time, such as walking while turning your head to talk to another person. In this segment, Laura Corbridge, Bryan physical therapist, discusses vertigo and how based on evaluation and testing, a specific treatment plan will be developed to improve and develop your balance system.
