Summary

Vertigo is a common yet often misunderstood condition that can significantly impact a person’s a quality of life, causing fear, disorientation, and functional limitations. While symptoms such as dizziness and imbalance are frequently managed symptomatically, the underlying vestibular disorder remains undiagnosed or untreated can result in chronic dysfunction and recurrent episodes of vertigo.

This book provides structured, evidence-based guidance for healthcare providers to identify, diagnose and treat the root causes of vertigo, rather than merely alleviating symptoms. It highlights the critical role of vestibular compensation, a natural recovery process that can be supported through both pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches such as vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT). This guide also emphasizes the importance of betahistine dihydrochloride, which has been shown to improve microcirculation in the inner ear supporting compensation especially when used at the optimal dosage and duration. By addressing conditions such as Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), vestibular neuritis, Meniere’s disease, etc, this guide empowers clinicians to make confident diagnostic decisions, implement effective repositioning maneuvers and rehabilitation strategies, and recognize when to refer. Ultimately, this resource aims to improve outcomes for patients by restoring balance – physically and emotionally – through holistic, patient-centered vestibular care.
