Room spinning when you roll over in bed. Feeling unsteady walking down a hallway. Dizziness that shows up without warning and disrupts your entire day. At ActiLife, our vertigo treatment coquitlam program identifies exactly what's causing your balance system to misfire — and uses targeted, hands-on techniques to resolve it, often within just a few sessions.
A lot of patients come to us after months of vague advice — "it'll pass," or "try not to move too fast." For many types of vertigo, that's not a treatment plan, it's just waiting it out. Vertigo physiotherapy coquitlam patients see us for is often able to resolve the most common cause of vertigo in a single visit or two, using specific repositioning techniques. We assess the actual mechanism behind your dizziness before treating it, rather than guessing.
Your vestibular system — located in your inner ear — is responsible for your sense of balance and spatial orientation. When it's disrupted by an inner ear issue, injury, or age-related changes, the result is often vertigo, dizziness, or unsteadiness. Coquitlam vestibular rehabilitation involves specific assessment techniques to identify exactly which part of the system is affected, followed by targeted treatment — including repositioning maneuvers, balance retraining, and gaze stabilization exercises — to resolve the dizziness and retrain your brain's balance response.
We use specific positional tests to identify exactly what type of vertigo or balance disorder you're dealing with — essential before any effective treatment can begin.
For the most common cause of vertigo (BPPV), specific head and body movements can resolve symptoms quickly and often permanently.
For ongoing unsteadiness, we retrain your brain's balance and visual systems to work together properly again.
Not all dizziness is the same — and our vestibular rehabilitation therapists assess each case individually before building a treatment plan.
Here's how a typical visit to our Coquitlam vertigo clinic tends to go.
We move your head and body through specific positions to identify exactly what type of vertigo you have.
Depending on the diagnosis, this might mean a repositioning maneuver, balance exercises, or gaze stabilization training.
We check how your symptoms respond in real time, adjusting the approach as needed within the same session.
Most patients leave with a short daily routine to reinforce the retraining and prevent symptoms from returning.
We direct bill most major insurance providers and accept ICBC claims, so getting treated for dizziness doesn't come with added stress. Same-week appointments are usually available at our Coquitlam clinic — important, since vertigo often responds best to prompt treatment.
