Vertigo Assessment and Treatment
Vertigo, dizziness, or imbalance can make daily activities difficult and uncomfortable. Our Balance (Vertigo) Assessment helps identify the cause of these symptoms and provides proper guidance and treatment options to restore stability and confidence in your movements.
What is Vertigo?
Vertigo is a sensation where you feel:
Spinning
Tilting
Unsteady
Light-headed
It may be caused by issues in the inner ear, brain, or balance system.
Common Causes of Balance Problems
We check for conditions such as:
BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo)
Inner ear infections / labyrinthitis
Vestibular weakness
Meniere’s disease
Migraine-related vertigo
Age-related balance decline
Our Assessment Process
1. Detailed Case History
We begin by understanding:
Your symptoms
When they started
Triggers (turning head, getting up, etc.)
Medical and noise-exposure history
2. Physical & Vestibular Examination
We check:
Balance control
Eye movements
Head positions
Body coordination
These tests help identify whether your dizziness is ear-related or neurological.
3. Hearing Evaluation
Since balance and hearing systems are closely connected, we perform:
Pure Tone Audiometry
Tympanometry
Other diagnostic tests (if needed)
4. Positional Tests (e.g., Dix–Hallpike Test)
These help detect BPPV and determine which ear and canal are affected.
Treatment & Management
1. Canalith Repositioning Maneuvers
If BPPV is diagnosed, we perform simple, safe maneuvers (like the Epley Maneuver) to relieve symptoms—often within one or two sessions.
2. Vestibular Rehabilitation Exercises
We provide personalised exercises to improve:
Balance
Stability
Eye–head coordination
3. Medical Referral (If Needed)
If the issue is not ear-related, we recommend the right specialist (ENT/Neurologist).
Symptoms You Should Not Ignore
