Dizziness and Vertigo After a Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) Edmonton

Published date: June 5, 2025
  • Location: Edmonton, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

One of the most unsettling and commonly overlooked symptoms after an accident is dizziness or vertigo. Motor Vehicle Accident Physiotherapy Edmonton At Next Step Physiotherapy , we specialize in vestibular rehabilitation and post-trauma care to help individuals recover balance, orientation, and confidence following an accident.




Understanding Dizziness and Vertigo After an MVA




Dizziness is a general term that describes feelings of lightheadedness, unsteadiness, or faintness. Vertigo, on the other hand, refers to a false sensation of spinning or motion when none is occurring. These symptoms may surface immediately or days after the accident and can be linked to multiple causes.




Common causes of post-MVA dizziness include:






  • Whiplash or cervical spine injuries




  • Concussions or mild traumatic brain injuries (TBI)






Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)—when crystals in the inner ear become dislodged






  • Vestibular nerve damage




  • Visual-vestibular mismatch due to head trauma




  • Psychological factors such as anxiety or post-traumatic stress






Why These Symptoms Shouldn’t Be Ignored


Dizziness and vertigo can make daily activities—like walking, driving, or working—extremely difficult. Left untreated, they can increase the risk of falls, prolong recovery, and lead to avoidance behaviors that affect your independence and mental health.




At Next Step Physiotherapy, we understand the urgency and complexity of these symptoms and are equipped to provide comprehensive assessment and targeted treatment.




Our Vestibular Physiotherapy Approach


Our Edmonton team uses evidence-based techniques to identify the root cause of your symptoms and develop a personalized rehabilitation plan. Treatment may include:




Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT)


Exercises that retrain the brain to interpret balance signals properly




Gaze stabilization, habituation, and balance training




Techniques to reduce sensitivity to motion and improve stability




Manual Therapy


Gentle cervical spine mobilization if dizziness is related to neck trauma (cervicogenic dizziness)




Postural correction and movement retraining




Canalith Repositioning (Epley or Semont Maneuvers)


If BPPV is diagnosed, specific maneuvers are used to return inner ear crystals to their proper place




Education and Return-to-Activity Planning


Guidance on gradually resuming normal tasks




Strategies to cope with flare-ups and manage anxiety




Collaborative Post-MVA Recovery


We work closely with physicians, neurologists, and insurance providers (including WCB and auto insurance claims) to ensure a coordinated and comprehensive recovery. Our team at Next Step Physiotherapy is committed to helping you not just heal—but thrive—after an accident.
