Vertigo ise caused by different factors, that originate in the brain, spinal chord, or within the ear itself.

Sometimes crystal deposits, normally found in the inner ear get dislodged and travel to the semicircular canals where they cause inflammation.

It is here where they irritate the small hairs that line the canal, causing vertigo. 

Fluid build up inside the inner ear is another cause resulting in vertigo.

Vertigo physical therapy treats mostly the conditions caused by inflammation of the inner ear, while brain and spinal chord originated vertigo requires clinical evaluation.
