Vertigo usually results from a problem with the nerves and the structures of the balance mechanism in your inner ear (vestibular system), which sense movement and changes in your head postition.  Sitting up or moving around may make it worse.  Sometimes vertigo is severe enough to cause nausea, vomiting and imbalance.

Vertigo may be caused by:
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).  BPPV causes intense, brief episodes of vertigo immediately following a change in the position of your head, often when you turn over in bed or sit up in the morning.  BPPV is the most common of the vertigo.

Medications for dizziness usually just cover up the symptoms and make you drowsy.

We find the cause of your dizziness and make recommendations that could possibly eliminate your dizziness without the use of medication! We have the technology that measures your sway and stability in less than five minutes while you stand quietly with your hands at your sides.

Since 85% of all balance disorders are the result of problems involving the inner ear, an ENG will help determine if your problem involves your inner ear.  For the 15 minute ENG test, you simply wear a set of comfortable goggles which block all outside light while a miniature infrared video camera mounted in the goggles accurately records eye movements, even though your eyes are in total darkness.

Immediate Test ResultsTest results are obtained while you are seated quietly and moving your head both side to side and up and down.  You will be lying on a table with your head and body in different positions.  The images are fed to a computer which analyzes your eye movements for signs of nystagmus, a rapid beating of the eyes which is evidence of the presence of a balance disorder.

Treatment of BPPV

Because dizziness and hearing are so closely related, the testing also includes an audiological examination designed to help pinpoint the cause of your problem.  This audiological exam, a necessary part of any complete vestibular workup, is covered by Medicare and almost all other insurers.

Our services also include a new method of treating dizziness and balance disorders without drugs or surgery.  The treatment, known as vestibular rehabilitation therapy, may include eye exercises, balance retraining and brief therapy sessions focused on repositioning tiny particles within your inner ears.

The success rate for treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), a common form of balance disorder, is nearly 100%.  Once therapy is completed, dizziness rarely returns.
