Balance and vestibular symptoms include:
- dizziness
- instability
- vertigo
- light headedness
- falls
- nausea
There are many reasons why someone may suffer with these symptoms. We aim to diagnose dizziness or balance disorders and provide appropriate rehabilitation support.
Vestibular conditions
The vestibular system includes part of the inner ear and brain that help control your balance. Balance disorders can strike at any age, but are more common as you get older.
You'll have a detailed consultation with one of our consultants to assess and diagnose your condition. You may then be referred for further balance tests and rehabilitation.
Our team of therapists who specialise in balance and dizziness will use a number of situations to assess your balance, triggers for dizziness and your frequency of dizziness.
