Dear All
 
Vertigo is a general word which describes a set of symptoms which can have many origins. Anyone experiencing symptoms must have a psychosocial component, the only issue is are the reactions normal and is a strategy aimed in this area relevant?.
 
My vertigo attack lasted five days and was dreadful. It was at a particularly happy settled and balanced time of my life. Any intervention, pill, MT etc would claim its success if I was treat with it prior to my recovery. My suspicion is that I got better despite meidicne, atlernative or otherwise.

Vertigo has been identified as having a psychosocial componant - as with chronic pain.  A paced exposure to weight bearing activities - stopping before the vertigo starts will help to overcome this problem.

Dear Friends,
                                                    Many times we come  across conditions where we have to keep our patients
on bed for long time  e.g # cases on traction ,trauma and other surgery .Prolonged recumbent position
 physical weakness ,and mostly old age group cases land up vertigo when ever they  are up and about.
Mostly this condition is self limiting  ,but DO WE HAVE ANY METHOD  OR MODALITY  to resolve
this crisis,because one of my case ,an old lady who has undergone  hip replacement  continues to complain of vertigo ,which  is unnecessarily delaying her weight bearing and movement .
 
 
Thanking you all.
