Vestibular and Balance

Over 50% of the population will experience some form of dizziness or balance disorder during their lifetime. Imbalance accounts for nearly one billion dollars per year in health care costs. Falls due to dizziness and balance disorders are the leading cause of injury and subsequent loss of independence in senior citizens. Thankfully, we can help!

Information entering the brain from our feet, eyes and inner ears helps us to maintain balance. Our trained specialists understand how these systems interact to determine the true cause of dizziness. This allows them to deliver individualized and highly effective treatment options.

Symptoms and conditions we specialize in treating include:

• History of falling
• Benign Positional Paroxysmal Vertigo (BPPV)
• Post-concussion syndrome
• Lack of coordination
• Labyrinthitis
• Vestibular Neuritis
• Imbalance
