Vertigo Clinic

A Vertigo Clinic is a specialized medical facility dedicated to diagnosing, managing, and treating balance disorders, dizziness, and vertigo-related conditions. Vertigo is not a disease itself but a symptom that can arise from problems in the inner ear, vestibular nerve, brain, or sensory pathways. It often causes a false sensation of spinning, unsteadiness, nausea, or imbalance, significantly affecting quality of life.

At a Vertigo Clinic, patients undergo a thorough evaluation starting with a detailed medical history, physical examination, and specialized vestibular tests. Advanced diagnostic tools such as videonystagmography (VNG), rotary chair testing, posturography, and audiometry help pinpoint the cause. Common underlying conditions include benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), Ménière’s disease, vestibular neuritis, migraine-associated vertigo, and age-related balance disorders.

Treatment is tailored to the patient’s specific diagnosis. This may include canalith repositioning maneuvers for BPPV, vestibular rehabilitation therapy, medication to control symptoms, dietary modifications, and lifestyle adjustments. In some cases, patients may require collaboration with ENT specialists, neurologists, or physiotherapists for comprehensive care.

The clinic also focuses on patient education, helping individuals understand their condition and adopt preventive measures to reduce recurrence. With a multidisciplinary approach, Vertigo Clinics aim to restore balance, improve stability, and enhance overall well-being, enabling patients to return to daily activities confidently and safely.

Such clinics play a vital role in early diagnosis and effective management, preventing complications and ensuring patients receive the most appropriate and evidence-based care for their condition.
