Balance & Vertigo

Dizziness is a blanket term used to describe any feeling of unsteadiness. It is one of the leading health complaints in the United States, affecting an estimated nine million people annually. For those over the age of 70 it’s the top reason for a visit to the doctor’s office. Balance problems are the result of your brain receiving false signals from the balance system, comprised of the inner ear, eyes and sensory nerves. It may sense movement and overcompensate, leading to a spinning sensation, weakness and faintness. There are many possible causes of dizziness and vertigo; our expert staff has the diagnostic tools to uncover the underlying cause of your disequilibrium, and treatment options to keep you on your feet and improve your quality of life.
