Vertigo and Chronic Dizziness Treatment in Dubai
Vertigo and chronic dizziness are among the most common reasons people visit physiotherapy clinics in Dubai. The fast-paced lifestyle, long working hours, neck strain from screens, dehydration, and stress often lead to balance problems. Many residents search daily for “vertigo physiotherapy in Dubai,” “dizziness treatment near me,” and “BPPV treatment Dubai” because the symptoms can be sudden, scary, and disruptive.
At Movement On Physio, we specialize in evidence-based vestibular physiotherapy that helps patients overcome dizziness, regain balance, and return to daily life confidently.
What Is Vertigo?
Vertigo is a sensation where:
- You feel like the room is spinning
- You feel off-balance
- You may lose stability while standing or walking
It is not a disease; it is a symptom indicating an issue in either:
- The inner ear (vestibular system)
- The brain
- The neck (cervicogenic dizziness)
Common Symptoms of Vertigo and Dizziness
- Spinning sensation
- Light-headedness
- Loss of balance
- Unsteady walking
- Blurred vision
- Nausea or vomiting
- Heavy head
- Ear pressure or ringing
If these symptoms persist for more than 48 hours, it is important to seek treatment.
Common Causes of Vertigo in Dubai
1. BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo)
The most common cause worldwide where small crystals inside the inner ear become displaced, leading to sudden spinning when turning your head.
2. Vestibular Neuritis / Labyrinthitis
Inner ear infections that affect balance.
3. Cervicogenic Dizziness (Neck-Related)
Neck stiffness from long laptop or mobile use, very common among office workers in Dubai.
4. Migraine-Associated Vertigo
People with migraine often develop dizziness even without headache.
5. Motion Sickness or Travel Fatigue
Common in individuals who frequently travel or drive long distances.
6. Stress, Anxiety, and Lack of Sleep
These can intensify dizziness even without ear issues.
Why Physiotherapy Is an Effective Treatment for Vertigo and Dizziness
Physiotherapy offers non-medication-based, fast, and long-lasting relief using scientifically proven techniques. Physiotherapy helps by:
- Fixing inner ear crystal displacement (BPPV)
- Improving balance system coordination
- Reducing dizziness triggered by head movement
- Strengthening eye–head coordination
- Relaxing neck muscles causing imbalance
- Restoring natural body movement patterns
Most patients feel improvement within 1–3 sessions for BPPV.
Effective Vertigo Treatments at Movement On Physio

A structured program that:
- Trains the brain to adapt

- Neck mobility restoration

4. Gaze Stability and Oculomotor Exercises
Essential for patients who feel dizzy when moving their eyes, working on laptops, reading, or using mobile phones. These exercises help stabilize vision during head movement.
