Vertigo or the sensation of movement of yourself or your environment is among the most common causes of visits to the doctor. There can be many causes of vertigo or dizziness. These can range from insignificant causes such as feeling lightheaded to more severe causes like a stroke or tumor. One common cause of vertigo is benign positional vertigo or bppv. This article will focus on treatment in the form of vertigo exercises for this type of vertigo. Regrettably, it is popular that bppv or benign positional vertigo is usually treated with some form of medication. While this approach can lessen the symptoms of the dizziness or associated nausea it fails to fix the real cause of the problem. Next we will talk about the real cause of this type of vertigo, the reason medication is not a good treatment and how vertigo exercises can help you. The type of vertigo we are focusing on in this article is called benign positional vertigo. The theory behind the mechanism is believed to be loose particles or debris in the balance organs which are found in our inner ear. These are called semicircular canals and are filled with a fluid substance. Our movement will result in movement of the fluid which triggers hair like receptors which then send messages to our brain to inform us about our movement. The loose particles disrupt the receptors so they send incorrect signals to our brain and we feel too much movement and the result is the feeling of vertigo. The answer to this condition is not drugs or medication we need something that will take away or remove the loose debris. This will not be done by drugs. What drugs will do is dampen or decrease your nervous system so you won't feel as dizzy or as nauseous. The underlying problem of loose particle is still there but the symptoms are masked by a dampened nervous systems that is drugged up. The cause of the problem is still present with medication even if your symptoms may feel a little better. The best and safest way to correct this problem is vertigo exercises. Sadly, many people are given incorrect exercises or informed about the correct exercises in a wrong manner. It is usually for people to be instructed to do habituation exercises. These exercises focus on strongly stimulating the balance organs so they can adapt to strong stimulation, therefore your system hopefully wont feel so dizzy. This approach once again is not really correcting the problem, never the less it is a non drug option. This habituation exercise should be the second choice of vertigo exercises for people, unfortunately they are incorrectly used as the first option. There is a correct solution to this benign positional vertigo. There are specific vertigo exercises that reposition the particles or debris to a less sensitive area in the semi circular canals. In this position they will not affect the receptors so much. Now this option corrects the underlying problem of the loose debris and does not just cover up the symptoms. If done correctly the exercises are very safe and effective. DISCLAIMER: This article is provided as information only and is not to be taken as financial advice.
