Kolkata, July 07 (UNI) Physical Therapy, not drugs, is the most effective treatment of Vertigo or Balance disorders, according to Neurotologists.

Addressing a press conference on the "Role of Physical Therapy in Vertigo and Imbalance" here today, Belle Vue Clinic Consultant Neurotologist Dr Anirban Biswas demonstrated the impact of physical therapy in balance-disorder patients.

Speaking on the malady, Dr Biswas said, "Vertigo is a terrifying sensation, which incapacitates the patients and makes their lives miserable. The imbalance is a related sensation, where they have a feeling of instability and a sensation of falling. Often Vertigo and imbalance occur together.'' Only drugs cannot heal balance disorders. Yogas and other exercises can help curing the disorder, he maintained.

On the occasion, he launched a self-penned book titled "Physical Therapy for Balance Disorder Patients" along with a CD to promote the new modality of Vertigo or Balance disorder management through varied physical exercises.

The book presents various forms of physical therapies, including tips on exercises, "yogic asanas" and Tai-chi exercises.
