WHAT IS VERTIGO AND DIZZINESS

Vertigo is not just feeling a little light-headed. It is a powerful spinning sensation — as if you or the room around you is moving when nothing is actually moving. It can strike without warning, make you unable to drive, work, or even get out of bed safely.

Dizziness is a broader experience that includes unsteadiness, floating sensations, or lightheadedness. Both vertigo and dizziness are symptoms of an underlying problem, most often in the inner ear or the vestibular system — the body’s balance control centre.

At Legend Physiotherapy in Mission, we treat the cause, not just the symptom. Whether your dizziness came on suddenly after a head movement or has been slowly worsening for months, our Mission physio team has the expertise to diagnose and treat it effectively.

What Happens at Your First Vertigo Appointment in Mission

Physiotherapy manages dizziness by improving balance, retraining the vestibular system, reducing vertigo symptoms, and restoring movement confidence.

01
Full Vestibular Assessment
We assess your eye movements, test for BPPV with the Dix-Hallpike and Roll Test, screen your cervical spine, evaluate your balance, and take a detailed history of your symptoms, triggers, and timeline.
02
Clear Diagnosis
We explain in plain language exactly what is causing your dizziness and what the treatment plan looks like — including a realistic timeline for recovery.
03
Treatment Starts Immediately
We do not make you wait. BPPV patients often receive the Epley Manoeuvre in their very first session and leave feeling significantly better. All other patients begin their personalised rehabilitation program the same day.
04
Discharge and Prevention
Before you finish treatment, we teach you how to self-manage any future BPPV episodes at home and give you a maintenance exercise plan to protect your balance long-term.

What are the Causes of Vertigo & Dizziness?

Vertigo and dizziness are commonly caused by inner ear disorders, balance system issues, neurological conditions, or sudden position changes.

Inner Ear Problems

Conditions like BPPV, infections, or fluid imbalance in the inner ear disrupt balance signals, causing spinning sensations.
