Vestibular neuritis and labyrinthitis
Some vertigo episodes arrive like a storm: sudden spinning, nausea, and an unsteady walking that can last days. Two conditions commonly discussed in this space are vestibular neuritis and labyrinthitis, both involving the inner ear.
People often report:
- Sudden onset vertigo
- Nausea and vomiting
- Ongoing imbalance after the worst spinning settles
- Fatigue and “not quite right” feeling for weeks
Why rehab matters
When the vestibular system has been disrupted, the brain often needs structured input to recalibrate. Vestibular rehabilitation aims to improve balance, reduce dizziness related problems and increase your function, which is a common theme echoed by specialist dizziness clinics in New Zealand.
The risk of doing nothing
People sometimes avoid movement because it triggers symptoms. Unfortunately, long term avoidance can slow recovery and increase fear around symptoms. A guided plan helps you move forward safely.
