BALANCE
Dizziness is a blanket term used to describe any feeling of unsteadiness. It is one of the leading health complaints in the United States, affecting an estimated 9 million people annually. For those over the age of 70, it’s the top reason for a visit to the doctor’s office. Balance problems are the result of your brain receiving false signals from the balance system, comprising the inner ear, eyes, and sensory nerves. It may sense movement and overcompensate, leading to a spinning sensation, weakness, and faintness. There are many possible causes of dizziness and vertigo, and our experts have the diagnostic tools to uncover the underlying cause of your disequilibrium and treatment options to keep you on your feet.
