Review finds physical therapy effective for dizziness, vertigo

People with vestibular disorders, which result from diseases or conditions affecting the inner ear, often experience problems with dizziness, balance, and movement.

A new review of medical literature on vestibular rehabilitation, released by the Cochrane Collaborative, an independent international medical research and policy consortium, has found that there is a "growing and consistent body of evidence to support the use of vestibular rehabilitation for people with dizziness and functional loss as a result of UVPD" (unilateral or peripheral vestibular disorders).
