What is vestibular neuritis?
Vestibular neuritis is inflammation of the balance nerve in the inner ear. It usually starts with sudden, severe vertigo, which settles over days, but can leave lingering unsteadiness and dizziness with movement. A first episode needs medical or ENT review to confirm the diagnosis. Physiotherapy then uses vestibular rehabilitation to help the brain adapt and recover balance.
