Identifying the root cause is essential to determine the most effective treatment approach.

- Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD): A functional neurological disorder leading to chronic dizziness and unsteadiness.
- Cervicogenic Dizziness: Dizziness arising from neck dysfunction, often linked to posture and movement.
- Migraine Variant Vertigo (Vestibular Migraine): Episodes of vertigo associated life hygiene and stress
Note that vertigo could also be a sign of more life-threatening situation (stroke) which is why you need to consult a medical doctor
