In acute vestibulopathy, one side of the vestibular system suddenly loses function. This causes <strong>an event of sudden vertigo</strong> lasting hours to days, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and imbalance that improve over days to weeks.</p> <p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://wwspt.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/acute-vestibulopathy.png" alt="" width="801" height="449" /></p> <p>Often, a sudden loss of vestibular function like this is called vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis, caused by a sudden viral infection or a vascular problem affecting the inner ear or the nerves connecting the vestibular system to the brain. We have special tests such as the video goggles exam and video head impulse test that can detect decreased or asymmetrical vestibular function, help us measure the severity of the problem, understand how patients are recovering, and prescribe appropriate exercises to help them recover. Exercises for someone with acute vestibulopathy involve training the brain to stabilize the eyes during head movements and retraining balance.</p> <p> </p> <p>Dr. Greg Synnestevt, PT, DPT,<br /> WWS Physical Therapy and Vestibular Rehabilitation<br /> Doylestown, Pennsylvania</p> <p>(215) 489-3234</p> <p>The post <a href="https://wwspt.com/vestibular-loss/">Vestibular Loss</a> appeared first on <a href="https://wwspt.com">WWSPT.Com</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://wwspt.com/vestibular-loss/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">4470</post-id> </item> <item> <title>VITAMIN D is an important Supplement for Women!</title> <link>https://wwspt.com/vitamin-d-is-an-important-supplement-for-women/</link> <comments>https://wwspt.com/vitamin-d-is-an-important-supplement-for-women/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Wendy Webb Schoenewald, PT, OCS]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 19 Nov 2020 17:09:34 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[aging process]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[BPPV]]></category> <category><![CDATA[BPPV treatment]]></category> <category><![CDATA[depression]]></category> <category><![CDATA[estrogen]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Menieres Disease]]></category> <category><![CDATA[menopause symptoms]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Osteopourosis]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Treatments]]></category> <category><![CDATA[vestibular disorders]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Vestibular Neuritis]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Vestibular Rehabilitation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Vitamin C]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Vitamin D]]></category> <category><![CDATA[WWS Physical Therapy and Vestibular Rehabilitation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[WWSPT]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://wwspt.com/?p=2938</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>As we move into the winter months, we are exposed to less sunshine and therefore Vitamin D levels can drop. #VITAMIND is an important supplement for women especially as we age, since it prevents #Osteopourosis, #Depression, and helps with #MenopauseSymptoms.   Low levels of vitamin D have been found in patients with vestibular disorders such […]</p> <p>The post <a href="https://wwspt.com/vitamin-d-is-an-important-supplement-for-women/">VITAMIN D is an important Supplement for Women!</a> appeared first on <a href="https://wwspt.com">WWSPT.Com</a>.</p> ]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As we move into the winter months, we are exposed to less sunshine and therefore Vitamin D levels can drop. #VITAMIND is an important supplement for women especially as we age, since it prevents #Osteopourosis, #Depression, and helps with #MenopauseSymptoms.</p> <p> </p> <p>Low levels of vitamin D have been found in patients with vestibular disorders such as benign paroxysmal positional #vertigo, #BPPV, #MenieresDisease, and #VestibularNeuritis. A few studies (reports) have shown Vitamin D supplementation to be beneficial for preventing BPPV attacks and Meniere’s symptoms. The dosage should be discussed with your doctor and should be adjusted based on your current blood levels of Vitamin D.</p> <p> </p> <p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://wwspt.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Vitamin-D.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p> </p> <p>A recent topical review by Seong -Hae Jeong, MD, Ph.D., and Ji-Soo Kim, MD, Ph.D. explored the evidence related to the association between deficient calcium metabolism and BPPV.
