vertigo is perhaps one of the most difficult medical conditions to diagnose and treat. there can be hundreds of causes involving nearly every body system but typically the inner ear and/or brain is involved. physical therapy would help only certain types of vertigo. i don't know what type that you have but it is certainly worth the try. clearly taking meclizine for eight years hasn't helped. there is no way to know if physical therapy will help until you do it. what to expect? i am not sure what type of therapy you are getting but i don't feel it will be problematic for you. you do have to do those exercises and practice however so please commit yourself to the full process and hope for the best.
my doctors are putting me in physical therapy for my vertigo from 2 to 8 weeks will it help and what should i expect. i have had mri and been to all the drs. now my ent is sending me here i have been on meclizine since 2005
