Dizziness and balance
Dizziness, vertigo and balance problems
Feeling dizzy, like the room is spinning, or unsteady on your feet can have many causes. The inner ear plays a large part in balance, and many types of dizziness can be assessed and treated. We start by finding out what is causing your symptoms.
What we offer
- Assessment of dizziness and vertigo (a spinning sensation)
- Inner ear balance testing
- Treatment for common inner ear causes of dizziness, including repositioning manoeuvres
- Balance exercises and rehabilitation
- Referral to other specialists when needed
When to consider a visit
- The room seems to spin, especially when you turn over in bed or look up
- You feel light-headed or unsteady when walking
- You have had a fall and are not sure why
- Dizziness comes with hearing changes or ringing in the ears
If dizziness comes on suddenly with chest pain, weakness on one side, slurred speech or a severe headache, go to the nearest emergency department straight away.
