Two common causes of dizziness in Grand Rapids 

At Advent Physical Therapy, we know that you may not know why you’re experiencing dizziness. However, before we discuss some things that may be causing your dizziness, we’d like to help you understand exactly what dizziness is. 

Our team knows that dizziness is any sensation of faintness, wooziness or weakness that causes you to feel unstable. We also know that these sensations are closely related but separate from vertigo. Vertigo is actually a kind of dizziness where you feel like your surroundings are spinning or moving on their own. 

Dizziness can be the result of many injuries, conditions or actions. However, our team typically sees two causes of this condition in our patients. The first cause of dizziness that we commonly see is a neurological condition. Neurological conditions are conditions where something is affecting the operation of your body’s nerves. We’ve seen people with neurological conditions such as peripheral neuropathy who also have dizziness for instance. 

We’ve also often seen inner ear problems cause dizziness. Your inner ear is actually one your body’s critical balance centers. Our team knows that this area is delicate, and we’ve seen it affected by problems like head injuries or infections. The patients we see with concussions, for example, often experience dizziness as a side effect of their injury. 

If you’re experiencing dizziness, our team can create a physical therapy plan that may help you treat it. Your personalized therapy plan may include therapies such as: 

• Balance exercises
• Joint-mobility exercises
• Posture-improvement techniques
• Therapeutic muscle stretches
