We often assume that vertigo is caused by tiredness or fatigue and dismiss it as a mild, painless inconvenience.

But getting dizzy spells is no joke, especially whether you are alone or in public.

But there’s more to vertigo than meets the eye, and by knowing the underlying causes of vertigo and dizziness, it’s actually quite easy to permanently heal it.

The most common feature of vertigo is the feeling that the world is spinning all around you. This dizzy spell can last for a few seconds to several minutes.

Here are some of the things traditionally considered to be causes of vertigo:

1. Inner ear problems – Not everyone knows that the inner ear is related to maintaining equilibrium. In other words, the inner ear sends signals to the brain about head and body movements as well as balance relative to gravity. When fluid builds up in the ear, it can change the pressure inside and result in dizziness, ringing in the ears and even hearing loss.
2. Head or neck injury
3. Brain problems, even tumors
4. Stroke
5. Migraine headache
6. Medications that can cause damage to the ears
7. Temporary ear infection due to common cold

As you can see, the causes range from mild to serious conditions. It is important to consult a physician if you experience vertigo often.

In most cases vertigo goes way without any medication or treatment. The usual treatment methods for vertigo include:

1. Vestibular rehab therapy: This is a physical therapy method for those who get frequent bouts of vertigo.
2. Antibiotics, in the case of infections
3. Water pills (Diuretics) to reduce pressure caused by fluid buildup
4. Surgery

These are, as I said, traditional diagnoses and treatments of vertigo and dizziness. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t.

What I’ve found, however, is that the underlying cause of vertigo is most often tension in the muscles around the organs of the balance system. That is, the eyes and the inner ear.

Using simple exercises that strengthen and loosen up these muscles, almost everyone who works these exercises manages to eliminate their vertigo and dizziness.
