Dizziness and balance disorders

The wear and tear and damage that the disease causes to the brain and nervous system can be the cause of dizziness and impaired balance. However, it is not uncommon to see the combination of neurological disease and other harmless forms of dizziness. Such as impaired balance and reaction ability as a result of Parkinson's disease, and dizziness caused by BPPV. It is therefore important to do a comprehensive examination that challenges all parts of the balance and coordination system in order to put together a complete tailored rehabilitation plan.

In the event of a head trauma, one can get a combination of several of the above-mentioned forms of dizziness. Including BPPV as a result of the head trauma itself, developing vestibular migraine as a stress reaction as a result of the functional disorders in the brain caused by the head trauma, and impaired balance and coordination as a result of the head trauma. It is therefore essential to have a comprehensive and thorough functional examination to map which parts of the brain and nervous system need training.

Migraine attacks cause temporary or long-term functional disorders in several areas of the brain that involve, among other things, balance, coordination, orientation, sensory perception, and pain simultaneously. Our comprehensive neurological examination maps the functional disorders of the brain and nervous system and gives us a good foundation for how the tailored neurological rehabilitation should be put together. The goal of tailored neurological rehabilitation is to improve tolerance to sensory impressions and activity before migraine attacks are triggered, and reduce the frequency, intensity and duration of migraine attacks.

This is a rarer form of dizziness, but the dizziness and accompanying symptoms can be experienced as very similar to those of PPPD. But there is one thing in particular that distinguishes MdDs from PPPD and other forms of chronic dizziness. The dizziness of MdDs temporarily disappears or is significantly reduced in intensity when, for example, driving a car. But returns again immediately the car stops, and is then often more intense than before the actual drive began. Through tailored neurological rehabilitation and more frequent evaluations with advanced computer-based equipment, we can reduce dizziness and improve tolerance to both sensory impressions and activity.

PPPD is caused by dysfunction in the brain's ability to coordinate and process different sensory inputs simultaneously. Patients experience persistent dizziness and a number of other symptoms that are triggered or worsened by activity and exposure to sensory inputs. Especially visual inputs. Our approach with the help of advanced examination equipment and tailored neurological rehabilitation can teach the brain to coordinate and process sensory inputs in a better way so that dizziness and accompanying symptoms are improved.

You may experience a constant feeling of dizziness that lasts for hours, days or weeks. And is worsened by any movement of the head. Including getting up from a lying down to a sitting position and other changes in head position such as in BPPV, walking and making sudden movements of the head. Although many experience improvement within a few weeks, as many as 30% experience long-term problems with dizziness. Our treatment focuses on restoring balance functions through rehabilitation and adapted exercises.

The condition occurs when small particles in the inner ear become loose and cause attacks of intense dizziness, usually lasting 5-10 seconds at a time. BPPV dizziness is triggered by head movements. such as when you lie down and turn in bed, get up from a lying position to a sitting position, bend forward to pick something up, or tilt your head back to look for something. We offer precise examination with video oculography and treatment with a TRV chair, which provides effective results and reduces the risk of recurrence.
