Vertigo, Dizziness, and Loss of Balance: Understanding the Impact
Dizziness, vertigo, or loss of balance are among the most common complaints experienced by individuals. These symptoms can be acute or chronic, significantly limiting daily activities and sometimes indicating underlying health concerns.
The good news? Diagnosis and treatment options have advanced tremendously. Relief and recovery are now possible for many who once thought there was no solution.
At Eartistic, we are proud to be affiliated with the world-renowned American Institute of Balance (AIB), keeping us at the forefront of research and innovation in diagnosing and managing dizziness and balance disorders.
How Do You Know If You Have Vertigo or Need Help?
You may need professional help if you experience any of the following:
- Feeling like the room is spinning.
- Feeling dizzy in crowded places, like supermarkets or busy streets.
- Head movement triggers dizziness, such as looking up, looking down, or rotating your head.
- Losing balance or feeling unsteady.
Other symptoms that may accompany vertigo include:
- Nausea or vomiting.
- Abnormal or jerking eye movements (nystagmus).
- Headaches or sweating.
- Ringing in the ears (tinnitus) or hearing loss.
If these symptoms sound familiar, it’s time to take the first step toward recovery with Eartistic’s comprehensive care.
Comprehensive Vestibular Assessment at Eartistic
At Eartistic, we conduct a thorough 2-hour vestibular and balance assessment to identify the root cause of your symptoms. This detailed evaluation helps us create a personalized treatment plan to restore your balance and improve your quality of life.
What to Expect During the Assessment
- A general balance and vertigo evaluation.
- Tests to pinpoint the cause of dizziness, vertigo, or balance issues.
- Insights into how your symptoms are affecting your daily life.
Preparing for Your Dizziness Assessment
To ensure accurate results, please:
- Reserve 2 hours of your time.
- Avoid wearing eye makeup on the day of the assessment.
- Refrain from taking vertigo medications such as Betaserc, Cinnarizine, or Stemetil, and avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before your appointment.
- Bring a family member or friend for support if needed.
Customised Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT)
For many patients, overcoming vertigo and balance issues requires targeted therapy to retrain the brain to compensate for inner ear dysfunction.
At Eartistic, we offer Customised Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT)—an exercise-based program tailored to your unique needs.
What is Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy?
- A program designed to help the brain adapt to inner ear dysfunction.
- Exercises that improve balance and reduce dizziness.
- Support to help patients recover faster and regain confidence in their mobility.
In most cases, patients can compensate for vertigo naturally. However, for those who struggle, VRT provides professional guidance to:
- Accelerate recovery.
- Rehabilitate balance.
- Restore daily function.
We also offer tele-therapy sessions for patients who are unable to visit our center in person, ensuring you receive expert care no matter where you are.
