Marquette, MI – October 12, 2026 – On our latest update with Active Physical Therapy, we heard about vestibular loss, vertigo and more.
Makela explained that vestibular loss is when your inner ear system is disrupted, most commonly by a type of viral infection, adding that vertigo is a symptom of a problem, but not a problem in it of itself.
She said if you experience a sudden onset of spinning, you should always be evaluated by a medical provider promptly. There are types of vertigo that would be more of a medical emergency. Doctors can determine the cause of the vertigo.
Makela stressed that Physical Therapists with a background in vestibular rehab are trained to evaluate and treat people who have vestibular loss and Active Physical Therapy can help.
You can be seen after receiving a referral from your doctor. For more information about Active Physical Therapy you can visit their website at www.stayactiveup.com.
