Dizziness and Tinnitus: When Your World Spins

Dizziness and tinnitus are among the most disruptive symptoms a person can experience. They affect balance, concentration, and quality of life significantly.

At AlterPhysio Amsterdam, we treat both conditions with acupuncture and physiotherapy. In addition, we identify whether the cause is vestibular, cervical, or systemic.

Types of Dizziness We Treat

BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo)

In addition, BPPV is the most common cause of vertigo and causes brief spinning sensations. It is triggered by specific head movements and responds well to repositioning manoeuvres.

Moreover, physiotherapy treatment for BPPV, such as the Epley manoeuvre, often resolves it within one to two sessions. Most patients experience immediate improvement after treatment.

Cervicogenic Dizziness

Dizziness that originates from the neck is called cervicogenic dizziness. Tight muscles or restricted joints in the upper cervical spine disrupt balance signals.

Furthermore, physiotherapy and acupuncture effectively treat cervicogenic dizziness. Manual therapy to the neck often provides rapid relief.

Tinnitus

Tinnitus is a persistent ringing, buzzing, or humming sound in the ears. It affects up to 15% of the population and is strongly linked to stress and tension.

Additionally, acupuncture is one of the most evidence-supported treatments for tinnitus. It reduces the neurological overactivity that produces the phantom sounds.

Acupuncture for Dizziness and Tinnitus

Regulating the Vestibular System

Furthermore, Acupuncture influences the vestibular centres in the brainstem and inner ear. It improves fluid regulation and reduces inflammation in the vestibular apparatus.

Therefore, conditions like Meniere’s disease respond well to a course of acupuncture. Many patients report a significant reduction in vertigo attack frequency.

Reducing Stress-Driven Symptoms

Stress and anxiety amplify both dizziness and tinnitus significantly. Acupuncture calms the nervous system and reduces this amplification effect.

Beyond this, better sleep and reduced muscle tension further improve symptoms. We address these contributing factors as part of every treatment plan.

Physiotherapy for Balance Problems

Vestibular rehabilitation exercises retrain the balance system after inner ear disruption. We design personalised programmes for each patient’s specific balance impairment.

Notably, cervical spine treatment often resolves dizziness that has been misdiagnosed for years. A thorough assessment at our Amsterdam clinic can identify the exact cause.
