What is Vertigo and Balance Disorder Care?
Care in vertigo and balance disorder involves the assessment and treatment of conditions affecting the vestibular system, inner ear mechanisms, and brain pathways that contribute to musculoskeletal balance control. At Pacific One Health, assessments and treatment strategies are tailored after a detailed clinical assessment and testing. We employ a multidisciplinary team comprising ENT specialists, neurologists, audiologists, and physiotherapists, offering nonsurgical and surgical options depending on the etiology. The aim is to restore stability, minimize dizziness, and comfortably get patients back into daily activities.

Vertigo and balance problems can be caused by conditions such as Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo, Meniere's disease, vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis, neurological balance abnormalities, age-related impairments, musculoskeletal impairments, and many others. These symptoms may include dizziness, stumbling gait, falls, difficulty focusing the vision, or loss of balance.
