What is Vertigo?
Vertigo is a sensation of spinning or dizziness, often caused by inner ear disorders affecting balance and orientation. This condition leads to challenges with balance and an increased risk of falls. The inner ear plays a critical role in balance. When impacted by issues like vestibular nerve inflammation, infections, or benign positional vertigo, symptoms can arise suddenly and vary in severity.
At The Spine Institute of New Jersey, we provide targeted, non-invasive treatments designed to address vertigo and its underlying causes. By incorporating advanced techniques such as neuro med table sessions, our healthcare providers help you restore balance and alleviate the discomfort associated with vertigo.

Common Symptoms of Vertigo
Common symptoms of vertigo include a spinning or swaying sensation as if the room is moving around you, even when you’re still. This is often accompanied by dizziness, nausea, and a loss of balance, making it difficult to stand or walk. Other symptoms can include blurred vision, sweating, and, in severe cases, vomiting. Many people also experience a sensation of “floating” or lightheadedness. Symptoms may come and go or persist, depending on the cause and severity of the condition.
Risk Factors of Vertigo
Risk factors for vertigo include age, with older adults being more prone to balance disorders, and a history of inner ear infections or conditions such as Meniere’s disease. Head injuries, migraines, and certain medications can also increase the likelihood of vertigo. Lifestyle factors like high stress levels, dehydration, or alcohol use can exacerbate symptoms. Additionally, certain medical conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular issues, or high blood pressure can contribute to vertigo by affecting blood flow and ear function.
Recovery Time from Vertigo
Acute vertigo, often due to issues like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), may resolve within a few days with treatments like repositioning exercises. However, conditions such as Meniere’s disease or vestibular neuritis might require ongoing management and a longer recovery.
At The Spine Institute of New Jersey, specialized treatments can help accelerate recovery, offering effective relief for vertigo symptoms. Contact us.
Aftercare Instructions
After vertigo treatment, avoid sudden head movements and practice any prescribed balance exercises regularly. Stay hydrated, manage stress, and follow up with recommended therapies, such as vestibular rehabilitation. Limiting caffeine and alcohol can also help reduce symptoms and aid in stabilizing the recovery process.
Effectiveness
Vertigo treatments can be highly effective, particularly when targeted to the underlying cause. For instance, vestibular rehabilitation can improve balance and reduce dizziness over time, helping many patients regain stability.
Pain
Vertigo treatments are generally non-invasive and painless. Techniques like repositioning maneuvers, balance exercises, and vestibular therapy focus on retraining the inner ear’s balance signals. While some therapies may cause brief dizziness during the process, they are safe and specifically designed to help manage and reduce vertigo symptoms.
