In my last blog we talked about the difference between vertigo and dizziness. Now I would like to dive a little deeper into vertigo. Most often people come to see a vestibular therapist like me at Fortius Physiotherapy Niagara because their doctor told them they have vertigo. But what is vertigo? What can cause it??
I have had many patients say to me, my doctor told me I have vertigo, but I don’t know what it means. Or, I’ve heard patients and sometimes even doctors use the two terms as if they mean the same thing. As a Vestibular Rehabilitation physiotherapist, I am here to help navigate the technical terms that surround our dizzy patients.
Breathing is our connection to life; without our breath we can not live. During the last couple of years (hello pandemic) all of us here at Fortius Physiotherapy have had to adapt in more ways than one. We have all lived through sadness, anxiety, sickness, and uncertainty during this pandemic.
