Dizziness can describe different sensations, including lightheadedness, unsteadiness, disorientation or a spinning sensation known as vertigo.
Because dizziness can have many different causes, an accurate assessment is important before beginning treatment.
Dizziness and vertigo are often used interchangeably, but they do not mean exactly the same thing.
Dizziness may include sensations such as:
Vertigo is the false sensation that you or your surroundings are moving or spinning.
Dizziness can have many possible causes, including:
Sometimes more than one factor contributes to dizziness, which is why identifying the cause is important before choosing the appropriate treatment or rehabilitation approach.

The vestibular system is located in the inner ear and plays an important role in balance, spatial orientation and visual stability during movement.
It includes three semicircular canals and two otolith organs – the utricle and saccule – which detect head movement and acceleration.
The brain combines this information with signals from vision and sensory receptors throughout the body to help maintain balance and stable vision during movement.
Information about head movement, acceleration and orientation.
Information about the environment and movement around us.
Information from muscles, joints and touch receptors.
People describe dizziness in many different ways.
Symptoms may include:
BPPV is a common vestibular disorder that can cause brief episodes of vertigo triggered by changes in head position, such as turning in bed, lying down, looking upward or bending forward.
It occurs when tiny calcium carbonate particles in the inner ear become displaced and affect the normal signals responsible for sensing head movement.
Specific positional tests can help identify BPPV, and when appropriate, repositioning maneuvers may be used as part of treatment.
Assessment begins with understanding the symptoms, when they occur, how long they last and what may trigger them.
Depending on the individual case, the evaluation may include eye movement and positional testing, vestibular assessment, balance and postural control, walking and functional movement, and an assessment of how the visual, vestibular and somatosensory systems work together.
The findings help identify factors that may be contributing to the symptoms and determine whether vestibular rehabilitation is appropriate.
When necessary, further evaluation by an ENT physician, neurologist or another healthcare professional may be recommended.
Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialized form of rehabilitation used for certain vestibular and balance disorders.
Depending on the assessment findings, treatment may include exercises designed to improve:
