Vertigo Assessment and Treatment by Wendy Schulze

Wendy Schulze is trained in the assessment and treatment of Vertigo (dizziness). It can be caused by a number of factors and this is why you will need a thorough assessment.

The Causes of Vertigo

• Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo or BPPV is caused by displacement of calcium crystals in the inner ear.
• Bacterial or viral inflammation of the middle ear
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Meniere's Syndrome
• Acoustic Neuroma and other neurological disorders
• Upper cervical extension muscle spasm affecting vertebral artery flow
• T4 syndrome
• Some medications

Because vertigo has many causes a thorough assessment is required before treatment is performed.

Treatment
The treatment is dependent upon the assessment and cause.

It can include positioning exercises, treatment to the neck and shoulder blade area of the spine. Home exercises and information about foods and positions that trigger the vertigo.

If your vertigo is caused by a medical condition Wendy will refer you to a Doctor for further investigation.

​If you suffer from vertigo book an assessment with Wendy so that you can understand what it is that is triggering your dizziness.
