Feeling dizzy or unsteady can make even simple activities feel overwhelming. At Teton Therapy, we understand how dizziness and vertigo in Riverton, WY, Lander, WY and Cheyenne, WY can affect your daily life—making it hard to drive, work, or even walk safely. That’s why our physical therapists work together to help you restore balance, feel more confident, and get back to doing the things you love.
What Causes Dizziness and Vertigo?
Dizziness is a broad term that may include feeling lightheaded, faint, or off-balance. Vertigo is a more specific sensation—like the room is spinning or shifting around you. These symptoms often stem from issues in the inner ear, nervous system, or even tension in the neck.
Common causes include:
- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV): Inner ear crystals shift and trigger intense spinning sensations
- Vestibular Neuritis: Inner ear inflammation affecting your sense of balance
- Meniere’s Disease: A buildup of fluid in the ear, often with ringing or hearing loss
- Cervicogenic Dizziness: Imbalance linked to neck stiffness or strain
Common Symptoms of Balance Disorders
Everyone experiences these conditions differently, but typical symptoms may include:
- Spinning sensations or a feeling of motion when still
- Unsteadiness when walking or standing
- Lightheadedness or near-fainting
- Nausea or difficulty focusing your vision
How Physical Therapy Can Improve Your Balance
Physical therapy can significantly reduce dizziness and improve your stability. Our physical therapists use vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) to help retrain how your brain interprets signals from the inner ear, eyes, and body. This treatment may include:
- Targeted balance and coordination exercises
- Head and eye movement retraining
- Walking and posture practice to build steadiness
These personalized exercises help you feel more secure and reduce the risk of falls.
How Occupational Therapy Supports Daily Activities
Occupational therapists play a key role in helping you manage dizziness throughout your daily life. They’ll work with you to:
- Adapt your home or workspace to make movement safer
- Recommend strategies and tools for fall prevention
- Teach methods to complete daily tasks confidently and comfortably
If dizziness has made activities like bathing, cooking, or dressing feel risky or exhausting, occupational therapy can help you get back to doing them safely.
