Natural And Medical Treatments For Vertigo

November 26, 2012 robot Health

People who suffer from vertigo would be the first to tell you that there are many available cure for vertigo out there. However, their effectiveness will depend on how bad the vertigo is. Vertigo can be classified into two. The first is the Subjective Vertigo, where the person would have the feeling that he is moving. In the second type, the person will feel as though it is his surroundings that are moving. It is called Objective Vertigo. Many people often mistake and mix up cases of vertigo with lightheadedness and cases of dizziness. Because of that, many people fail to immediately recognize that they are suffering something that must be diagnosed by a doctor.

The administration of any treatment required a pinpoint location of where the problem springs from and treatment can start from there. Disorientation, dizziness, nausea, and other elements of vertigo are not making it any easier to identify the exact location where the vertigo problem springs from. Since the doctors have to make sure they find the correct place to start treatment from, it takes them such a long time to analyze and make a diagnosis. Identification of the major underlying causes of the condition will greatly facilitate the ensuing treatment of such. However, the treatment is not a cure, but a means through which the effects of the illness are gradually brought to a standstill.

It usually takes a series of checkups and consultations with the doctor until the latter is finally able to make a full diagnosis of the entire condition. If we are talking about medical treatments, they usually come in the form of medications, drugs, an IV, or a patch. These will work to lower the nausea, dizziness, lightheadedness, and/or disorientation that the patient feels, and are the common treatments offer in dealing with vertigo. These are especially popular in cases where the vertigo is still not all that bad.

Research has shown that there are cases when the vertigo problem will arise due to problems with the ear. Damage on the inner ear commonly leads to vertigo and other complications. Of course, if you do not do something about the ear damage, there could be bacterial infections which will then lead to vertigo. Doctors, in order to minimize the possibilities of vertigo, will resort to prescribing antibiotics and other drugs to treat the bacterial infections. But in cases where medications and antibiotics will not solve the infection, there might be a need for surgery to be performed on the inner parts of the ear.

In treating vertigo, you have to take careful note of two things: what causes the condition, and what is its intensity. Maybe there is no need for drugs or medication. Perhaps all he needs is some rest and relaxation. Perhaps he only has to lie in a certain position so his balance would be restored. In the process, he may have to shift positions in intervals to shake off the dizziness. We call this vestibular rehabilitation. Moving the head in different directions could also do the trick. You could try some other vertigo treatments, although some of them would require that you go to a doctor to have them.
