Vertigo & Balance Disorders

Dizziness, unsteadiness, and a spinning sensation can significantly impact your daily life. At NEUMED Clinics, we provide specialized care for Vertigo and Balance Disorders, offering accurate diagnoses and tailored treatments to help you regain stability and confidence.

What Is Vertigo?

Vertigo is a sensation where you feel as if you or your surroundings are spinning, even when stationary. It’s often a symptom of underlying issues in the inner ear, brain, or nervous system. Vertigo can lead to:

• Loss of balance
• Nausea or vomiting
• Difficulty walking
• A feeling of lightheadedness or faintness

Common Causes of Vertigo & Balance Disorders

• Inner Ear Disorders:

  • Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV): Triggered by changes in head position.
  • Meniere’s Disease: Caused by fluid buildup in the inner ear, often associated with hearing loss and ringing in the ears.
  • Vestibular Neuritis or Labyrinthitis: Infections that inflame the inner ear.

• Neurological Conditions:
  Issues like migraines, stroke, or head injuries can also lead to balance problems.

• Age-Related Changes:
  As we age, our vestibular system weakens, increasing the likelihood of balance issues.

• Other Factors:
  Low blood pressure, dehydration, or certain medications can also contribute to dizziness.

Our Approach to Diagnosis and Treatment

At NEUMED Clinics, we use advanced tools and a patient-centric approach to pinpoint the cause of your vertigo or balance disorder.

  Customized exercises improve coordination, reduce dizziness, and enhance balance.

• Medication
  Antivertigo medications may be prescribed to control symptoms like nausea or spinning sensations.
