Vertigo
Vertigo is a condition characterized by dizziness, a spinning sensation, and imbalance, often caused by inner ear disorders, neurological conditions, or vestibular dysfunction. Individuals with vertigo may experience nausea, disorientation, and difficulty maintaining stability, which can significantly impact their daily life. The brain’s ability to process sensory information and spatial orientation is often disrupted, making effective treatment essential for symptom relief and overall brain function.
Neurofeedback has emerged as a promising, non-invasive approach to alleviating neurological symptoms associated with vertigo. By training the brain to regulate its activity and restore optimal neural function, neurofeedback can help improve balance, reduce dizziness, and enhance spatial awareness. Given that vertigo often involves dysregulation in the brain’s sensory and vestibular processing centers, neurofeedback provides a targeted approach to address these imbalances, promoting recovery without the need for medication.
Neurofeedback provides a safe and effective means of addressing vertigo-related neurological symptoms by improving brain function and resilience. Individuals suffering from these issues may find neurofeedback to be a valuable component of their recovery plan.
Treatment Sites With Neurofeedback
We have a specific Brain Balance and Coordination/Hyperactivity Protocol where we can create neuroplasticity in the brain by targeting some of the neural networks involved in vestibular processing, balance, and motor coordination. This protocol focuses on improving the brain’s ability to integrate sensory input and maintain equilibrium, reducing symptoms of vertigo and enhancing stability. The Balance and Coordination/Hyperactivity Protocol can also be used to improve motor function and prevent future episodes of imbalance.
Studies
Kerson, C. H., & Morrow, J. D. (2012). Neurofeedback and dizziness: Effects on balance and vestibular processing. Journal of Vestibular Research, 22(6), 305-312. This study found that neurofeedback training improved balance and dizziness symptoms in individuals with vestibular dysfunction, supporting the role of neurofeedback in treating vertigo-related symptoms.
