Dizziness

Several systems control our balance, including:

  • Inner ear
  • Central nervous system
  • Eyes
  • Skeletal system
  • Sense of touch

All of them work together to help a person feel stable. Any problem that impacts one of these systems can cause a feeling of imbalance.

Special testing can help your doctor determine if your dizziness is related to your ear. Our doctors may also order special x-rays to determine if something structural is causing the dizziness.

With a proper diagnosis, your doctor can work on a solution for your dizziness. Your treatment plan may involve vestibular rehabilitation: a specialized physical therapy. If your dizziness is not caused by an ear problem, your ENT doctor can refer you to a different specialist who can help.
