Vestibular Assessment

Having Dizziness or Balance Issues?

Dizziness, vertigo and imbalance can be frustrating – and dangerous.

If you are experiencing a loss of balance, unsteadiness, dizziness or vertigo/spinning sensations, we strongly recommend scheduling a balance test as soon as possible.

The First Step is a Balance Test

Vestibular and Equilibrium Evaluation

Balance is a complex interaction which relies on input from the vestibular system (in the middle ear), vision, and the sensations from your feet, muscles, and joints.

If any of these systems are not working properly, you will suffer a loss of balance, unsteadiness, and/or experience dizziness or vertigo/spinning sensations.

Our highly trained balance specialists will do a thorough evaluation to help pinpoint the cause of your balance or dizziness issues.

All testing is easy, safe and comfortable, and uses the industry’s most advanced technology.

Your visit will include a variety of simple yet technologically advanced tests using highly specialized equipment not available in most medical centers. This includes eye-movement tests to evaluate your inner ear function, as well as your central nervous system function.

Your appointment will last 60 to 90 minutes.

We truly care about improving your quality of life and well-being and will do everything we can to get you feeling sturdy and stable on your feet.
