Dizziness & Balance

Dizziness & Balance disorders (

vertigo

) cause an individual to feel unsteady when standing or walking. It may be accompanied by feelings of dizziness, or having a sensation of movement – spinning or floating, blurred vision and disorientation.

Balance

is the result of several body systems working together: the visual system (eyes),

vestibular system

(ears) and

proprioception

(the body’s sense of where it is in space). Loss of function in any of these systems can lead to this disorder. Treatment will vary dependent on the

Otolaryngologists

or

Neurotologists

diagnosis.
