Millions of people suffering from the depressing effects of insomnia are spending millions of dollars annually on doctor visits, over the counter remedy’s, prescription medications, and while many people do find relief, there are still many more that do not, and as they often times turn to one or more prescription drugs recommended by their doctors a large numbers of them experience horrendous side effects, and additional medical complications from these medicines.

There are many lists of studies that both blame and praise the effects of the popular sleep hypnotic prescription medications, and while the results of these studies provide shocking and somewhat disturbing results from taking prescription medications, there are just as many reports of positive and remarkable relief from the sleep robbing stress of insomnia offered by drug manufacturers and promoters of sleep medications.

One of the more common issues in taking hypnotic medications for insomnia is that they are often times taken longer than indicated on the warning label, or as directed by a doctor; and many people tend to mix these medications with other drugs and even alcohol creating a dangerous cocktail that cause serious said effects and other complications, and while there is a small number of people reported abusing sleep medications in this manner, it only goes to suggest that after the positive effects of taking these medications fades those still seeking relief will try to recapture the effects they discovered when first taking these medications.

The real issue at hand is that people suffering from insomnia just want to be able to sleep normally without complications or side effects, and aside for some controversial reports there are a lot of options, help and support for relief from insomnia that don’t require prescription medication. Many of these options are not overnight cures, but they do offer long term and lasting relief.

Some of the common non prescription methods in overcoming insomnia are:

Adjusting your diet

Seeking help from a therapist to discover any non medical issues

Getting more exercise

Limited or removing caffeine or alcohol intake

Changing your daily habits or routine

Engaging in relaxing activities

Sleep Recovery Training

Herbal sleeping aids

While there are literally hundreds of potential causes for insomnia, and each persons symptoms are more likely to be unique, the best course of action is to first consult with your doctor to make sure you are not suffering from an unknown medical condition, and then look into non prescription options to help you with your insomnia.

There is no question that vestibular rehabilitation therapy is the best way to manage most causes of vertigo, dizziness and imbalance. The downside is that there are very few trained specialists in this field competent in diagnosing these disorders and formulating appropriate treatment applications.

This field is mostly the domain of the chiropractic neurologist, and there remain very few doctors sub-specialized in this field, especially in NJ. Further, just because a therapist of sorts offers vestibular rehabilitation therapy, it does not mean that it will be done correctly.

My office sees a myriad of individuals with these conditions. Several have somehow managed to find a therapist who performs some variation of vestibular rehabilitation therapy. All have failed because the therapy provided was a “canned” approach, and was not formulated specific to the patient being treated. I find that canned treatment approaches, especially pertaining to vestibular rehabilitation therapy, are destined to fail. Treatment protocols must be specifically designed for the patient being managed. If this is not the case, some patients will improve, some will stay the same, and some will worsen.

You can look at an analogy of physical fitness. If you want to get into shape and hire a trainer, if the trainer says on day one, ok, were going to start with bench pressing 200 lbs., you can see how that will end up for someone who cannot physically do that. The same thing happens when you exceed someone’s functional capacity with rehabilitation. For more information and to determine if you are a candidate for vestibular rehabilitation therapy, (VRT), log onto my website listed below and follow the links to the online consultation form for vertigo and dizziness disorders.
