The Most Effective Vertigo and Dizziness Treatment (New Study)

One of the first things doctors usually do when you complain about dizziness or vertigo would be to prescribe medications such as antihistamines, cortisone, Valium, and so forth.

However, a new study published in a Russian journal Zhurnal Nevrologii I Psikhiatrii Imeni SS Korsakova has proven that drug-free treatments are actually extremely effective; in fact, it is at the point of being effective in 100% of the cases.

The researchers collected the names of 599 people who were referred to neurological practices with dizziness, all of whom had received neurovestibular examinations in order to try to identify the source of their vertigo.

A neurovestibular examination examines your brain and ears in order to locate the source of dizziness.

Before these examinations, 44% of the patients had been diagnosed with vertebrobasilar insufficiency, which would be a stroke or mini-stroke, due to decreased blood flow to the brain.

Encephalopathy, another form of brain damage that is due to high blood pressure or atherosclerosis, was incorrectly diagnosed in 35% of cases.

Other misdiagnoses were also common, but strokes and brain damage definitely seemed to be the most common guesses before any proper examinations were done.

Once the neurovestibular examinations had been done, the results were as followed:

39% were diagnosed with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (a condition involving the balance system in the ears), 29% had phobic postural vertigo (a psychological condition), 14% had Meniere’s disease (another ear/balance condition), 11% had vestibular neuritis (inflammation of a nerve in the inner ear), and 5% had multisensory dizziness, a condition that mostly affects elderly people.

It is quite amazing that almost all the stroke and brain damage diagnoses fell away once a proper examination was performed. Hopefully, that makes you feel better the next time you have a vertigo attack.

For the benign paroxysmal positional vertigo patients, basic repositioning maneuvers were effective in 90.2% of cases after the first treatment and were effective in 100% of the cases after the second treatment.

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo happens when calcium carbonate crystals accidentally fall into semicircular canals in your inner ear, so basic head movements would easily remove these from the canals.

Furthermore, patients with vestibular neuritis, Meniere’s disease, and phobic postural vertigo also significantly benefited from vestibular exercises and training on a stabilo platform that had biofeedback.

A stabilo platform with biofeedback is a way to train your brain and ears to stop sending incorrect balance signals in response to perfectly normal movements.

To do this, you repeatedly perform the actions that make you feel dizzy while a computer program shows you stabilized images of you and your environment.

This clearly shows that natural methods are enough to treat vertigo and dizziness.

The very best method for all types of vertigo would be simple head balance exercises that can be found here…
