In the medical clarification of dizziness, it is important that the important organic causes that can cause dizziness are dealt with first, for example If all the necessary examinations do not yield any results, it is also important to think about psychological triggers for the symptoms. Dizziness is a common symptom of physical or mental overload, for example, due to stress in private or professional life. In order to detect tensions, the physical examination of the patient is very important.

The muscles of the neck and back can be scanned for hardening.If the patient is already complaining of pain, there is most likely tension. The affected person should also be asked about his or her everyday range of motion. People who are not active in sports are much more likely to suffer from tension.

When treating dizziness caused by tension, it is important to treat the tense muscles directly, but also to counteract the development of new tension. Targeted physiotherapy ensures that the tensions are massaged out of the muscles by trained persons. However, not only the tensed muscle is directly treated, but the whole body is considered in its alignment, as even one tensed muscle can cause a cascade of whole-body posture problems.

Further tensions would then be pre-programmed. It is also important that the patient begins to take sufficient physical exercise. Targeted strength training to strengthen the muscles prevents tension and improves posture.

It also creates a balance to mental stress. The workplace should be ergonomically designed so that no unfavorable postures need to be adopted during the day, which could generate new tension. This includes the appropriate positioning of computer screens, an ergonomic office chair and the correct table height.

In between, small breaks should be taken with some movement so that the body does not stiffen in one position. Overall, the patient’s awareness of his or her body and posture should be trained so that the patient notices for himself or herself when he or she positions himself or herself unfavorably. A better body awareness can help to avoid tensions in the future.

This will also help to reduce dizziness. To relieve tension, there are various measures that can be taken at home. Warmth is a good way to increase the blood circulation in the muscles.

As a result, the muscles become softer and waste products from the tissue are removed more quickly. A hot water bottle or a cherry pit cushion on the tense areas can help. Rubbing hardened muscles with horse balm also has a warming effect.

In order to dissolve the tensions directly, a partner or physiotherapist can massage the hardened areas on the one hand, and massage balls or massage rollers can also be used on the other. These exert pressure on the hardened muscles, which can be very painful at first. Over time, however, the tensions become less.

Last but not least, physical exercise is a must for the relaxation of the muscles. People affected by tension tend not to move because of pain. However, this only leads to an aggravation of the symptoms.

In order to break the vicious circle of tension, regular physical exercise must be started. Neck tensions can be treated with simple exercises that can be performed quickly even in between times. This loosens the muscles and the dizziness disappears.

In the case of severe tension and severe pain, an orthopedic surgeon or physiotherapist should be consulted so that the exercises can be performed under professional guidance. For the first exercise, place the left hand over the head on the right ear and pull the head to the left with light pressure. Then repeat the exercise with the other side.

The back and neck can also be stretched effectively by folding the hands behind the head and slowly bending the upper body forward. This position is held for about 20 seconds and the exercise is repeated as needed. The following exercise is also suitable for relaxation: in an upright position, the arms are stretched out to the sides and rotated clockwise. Then repeat the exercise counterclockwise. It is important to make sure that the shoulders are pulled down away from the ears and the arms are stretched out as straight as possible.
