Dizziness is an uncomfortable sense of motion when there is actually no motion at all. This feeling of motion when actually there is no actual movement is generally known as whirling or spinning. It may also include feelings of one falling or slanting in posture. Vertigo may cause nausea and vomiting, difficulties in balance, standing or even walking. A physical therapy treatment for vertigo is vestibular rehabilitation therapy.

The causes of dizziness involve blood flow, nerve or innermost ear fault. Sometimes the time it happens may not be frequent, such occurrences may not require any treatment but when it is severe it needs treatment and only depends on the cause at the moment.

The objective behind the search for medication is to cut off the unstableness, bring back to normal the functioning of the vestibular system to stop falling and make one balanced.

It has also been shown in researches that its common in people at the age 70 and above. When the benign paroxysmal positional unstableness is observed in a patient by the concerned doctor, it is directed that one undergoes therapy for faster healing.
