Vertigo is a common disorder of balance that can be very disabling in everyday life. Whether they occur suddenly or gradually, they disrupt personal, social and professional life. Fortunately, effective solutions do exist - notably through vestibular physiotherapy<\/strong> and cervico-maxillo-facial<\/a><\/strong>These two complementary approaches enable targeted, long-term treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is vertigo?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Vertigo is a incorrect sensation of movement<\/strong>This is often described as a feeling that the environment is spinning or that you are about to fall. It's not just a momentary 'dizziness', but an actual spatial orientation disorder<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two main categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Peripheral vertigo<\/strong> caused by damage to the inner ear or vestibular nerve.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Central vertigo<\/strong> related to neurological damage (rarer).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    What are the common causes of vertigo?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Vertigo can result from malfunctions in the systems that regulate balance: the inner ear (vestibular system), the visual system, proprioception (sense of body position in space) and the brain. Here are the most common causes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo)<\/strong>\u00a0Vertigo: caused by the displacement of crystals (otoliths) in the inner ear. This type of vertigo is typically triggered by changes in position.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Vestibular neuritis<\/strong>\u00a0Inflammation of the vestibular nerve (neuritis) or the entire inner ear (labyrinthitis), often of viral origin. It causes intense dizziness, sometimes associated with nausea and severe loss of balance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0neck strain<\/strong>\u00a0TMJ dysfunction (often caused by bruxism, postural disorders or poor dental occlusion) can disrupt balance via poor sensory integration between the muscles of the jaw, neck and inner ear.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Vestibular migraines<\/strong>\u00a0Migraine: This form of migraine is accompanied by moderate to severe dizziness, with or without a headache. It is often triggered by stress, certain foods, hormonal changes or lack of sleep.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Inner ear syndrome (Meniere's disease)<\/strong>Hearing loss : This chronic condition manifests itself as violent attacks of vertigo, tinnitus and fluctuating hearing loss. It is linked to an abnormal accumulation of fluid (endolymph) in the inner ear.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Anxiety, chronic stress, poor posture<\/strong> These factors often act as triggers or amplifiers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
