Intro:
We’ve all felt dizzy once in a while — but when it keeps happening or affects your balance, it might be more than just fatigue or dehydration. Your vestibular system could be sending you a signal.
Common Symptoms of Vestibular Dysfunction
While vertigo — the spinning sensation — is the most recognizable symptom, there are others to watch for:
- Dizziness or lightheadedness, especially with head movements
- Vertigo, or the feeling that the world is spinning
- Unsteady balance, especially when walking or turning quickly
- Nausea or vomiting, brought on by movement
- Difficulty focusing on objects
- Nystagmus, or involuntary, jerky eye movements
When to Seek Help
If dizziness or imbalance is interfering with your daily activities, don’t ignore it. Vestibular dysfunction is common — and with the right treatment, recovery is possible.
If you’re noticing persistent dizziness or balance changes, contact our clinic or talk to your healthcare provider. Early intervention through vestibular therapy can make a lasting difference.
