Imbalance: Does the organ have to completely heal in order to improve?

Your vestibular system has failed and you wonder if the nerve must necessarily recover in order for you to live again without any complaints? The answer from science surprises many sufferers and takes a tremendous amount of pressure off the recovery process.

What studies on recovery really show:

  • Amazing results: Studies in patients after weeks and months show a clear picture. Surprisingly, measurable recovery of the nerve does not determine whether one will retain dizziness permanently.
  • Complacent despite the failure: There are people whose balance organs no longer function permanently, but who are perfectly safe and fit in everyday life. Conversely, some continue to suffer from persistent dizziness despite fully recovering their nerves.
  • The way of dealing is crucial: It is not the condition of the nerve that makes dizziness chronic, but the brain's reaction. Those who remain in constant alert mode, constantly scan the body and avoid movement out of fear, quickly slip into a functional form of dizziness like PPPD (persistent postural-perceptual dizziness).
  • Out of danger mode: Women who remain active, practice specifically and provide the brain with reassurance successfully turn off the alarm system. The brain learns that there is no threat and the symptoms disappear.
