How to Correct Vertigo and Unbalance

Vertigo is not necessarily a consequence of a standing position unbalance. Vertigo can occur in bed or in a sitting position. It results from a wrong perception of the surrounding space. Spatial references are lost during the crisis.

The first step is to detect the presence of an organic lesion. However, the majority of the cases of vertigo don't show any significant evidence of organic lesions. The majority of these functional cases are part of the Postural Deficiency Syndrome (PDS) described by Martins da Cunha in 1979. Treatment is very easy and precise for a specialist trained in the proprioception techniques. All that is needed is to treat the PDS, no drugs are needed, only proprioceptive correction.

Results are obtained in a few minutes.

Vertigo and Unbalance

Vertigo and unbalance are two conditions that decrease quality of life. They can be related to neurological lesions and labyrinthic health problems. However, many of those suffering from vertigo or unbalance do not show evidence of neurological lesions or labyrinthic organic disturbances. The majority of theses cases is due to a proprioceptive dysfunction. Whenever we correct the proprioceptive system, vertigo and unbalance also disappear in a few seconds. If they do persist however, it means they do not have a proprioceptive origin.

Blood vessel muscles are related to the proprioceptive system and that is why sometimes vasodilator drugs can help with vertigo and unbalance. However, this is a weaker part of the proprioceptive system.

In order to have the best results, we must use stronger proprioceptive entries like the eyes and/or skeletal muscles, which is the same as saying we must use Active Prisms and Postural Reprogramming.

We are using both Active Prisms following MD O. Alves da Silva's requirements and Postural Reprograming according to MD Martins da Cunha. This treatment is the basic approach for every type of proprioceptive dysfunction symptoms. However, some types of symptoms need special action.
