Therapy for Dizziness
Dizziness is a common symptom that you’re likely to experience at some point during your life that can make you feel lightheaded, unsteady, or like the room is spinning around you. While can be caused by dehydration, blood pressure fluctuations, migraines, anemia, anxiety, and some medications, as well as more serious issues, including stroke, heart conditions, brain tumors, or infections, it is often due to a problem with your vestibular system.
At FYZICAL De Zavala, we can help restore the optimal functioning of your vestibular system with our comprehensive vestibular rehabilitation program.
