Vertigo and balance disorder assessment

Vertigo and balance disorders can significantly affect daily activities and safety. Our clinic offers thorough assessment to determine vestibular, neurological or systemic causes of dizziness and imbalance. Using targeted testing and personalised rehabilitation, we aim to reduce symptoms and restore stable, confident movement.

Treatments Offered

We provide a complete diagnostic workup and tailored treatment plans, including:

  • Comprehensive Vestibular Assessment: Detailed clinical examination with videonystagmography (VNG), head impulse testing, and positional testing to identify the cause of vertigo.

  • Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) Treatment: Effective canalith repositioning manoeuvres (Epley, Semont) to relieve positional vertigo quickly and safely.

  • Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT): Individualised exercise programmes to retrain balance, improve gaze stability and reduce dizziness.

  • Medical Management: Treatment of underlying inner-ear conditions, migraines, or medical contributors to dizziness with appropriate medications and follow-up.

  • Multidisciplinary Care & Referrals: Collaboration with neurologists, physiotherapists and cardiologists when required for complex or multifactorial balance disorders.

Symptoms & Causes

Seek evaluation if you experience:

  • Spinning sensation or true vertigo

  • Unsteadiness, imbalance or frequent falls

  • Triggered dizziness with head movement or position changes

  • Associated nausea, vomiting, hearing loss or tinnitus

Common causes include benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), vestibular neuritis, Meniere’s disease, vestibular migraine, inner ear disorders, medication effects, cardiovascular causes, and neurological conditions.

Prevention & Self-Care

While not all balance disorders are preventable, you can reduce risk and improve stability with:

  • Maintaining physical fitness and balance exercises to improve strength and coordination

  • Avoiding sudden head movements and using caution when rising from lying or sitting positions

  • Reviewing medications with your physician that may cause dizziness

  • Seeking early assessment for recurrent or severe dizziness to prevent falls and complications
