Understanding the impact

What is Vertigo?

Vertigo is the sensation that you or your surroundings are moving, spinning, or swaying when no actual movement is occurring. It is a symptom rather than a condition itself and can be associated with a variety of issues affecting the body's balance system.

Many people with vertigo also experience dizziness, imbalance, nausea, or a feeling of unsteadiness that can impact daily life.

Common Vertigo Symptoms

People experiencing vertigo may experience a variety of symptoms, including:

Spinning sensations
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Loss of balance
Unsteadiness when walking
Nausea or motion sickness
Difficulty focusing the eyes
Sensitivity to movement
Feeling pulled to one side

What Can Cause Vertigo?

Vertigo can be associated with a variety of conditions affecting the balance system. Because balance depends on communication between the inner ear, eyes, brain, and nervous system, disruptions in any of these areas may contribute to symptoms.

Common causes and contributors may include:

  • Vestibular Migraine
  • Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
  • Meniere's Disease
  • Inner Ear Disorders
  • Vestibular Neuritis
  • Head or Neck Injuries
  • Cervicogenic Dizziness
  • Nervous System Dysfunction

Because vertigo can have many possible causes, obtaining an accurate diagnosis is an important first step.
