Vestibular / Dizziness Testing 

We understand that vestibular disorders can have a significant impact on a person's quality of life. That's why we offer comprehensive vestibular testing to diagnose and treat these conditions effectively. Vestibular testing is a crucial step in understanding the functioning of the inner ear and the balance system, allowing for accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plans.

 

What is Vestibular Testing?

​

Vestibular testing encompasses a range of diagnostic procedures that evaluate the health and function of the vestibular system, which is responsible for balance and spatial orientation. This complex system includes the inner ear (semicircular canals and otolith organs) and their connections to the brain. Vestibular tests help identify various vestibular disorders, such as Meniere's disease, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), vestibular neuritis, and more.

 

Why Vestibular Testing is Essential:

  1. Accurate Diagnosis: Vestibular testing plays a vital role in pinpointing the underlying cause of balance and dizziness issues. It helps healthcare professionals understand whether the problem is related to the vestibular system or has another origin.

  2. Personalized Treatment: Once the cause of the vestibular disorder is identified, a tailored treatment plan can be developed. Vestibular testing results guide healthcare providers in choosing the most effective interventions, whether they involve physical therapy, lifestyle changes, or medication.

  3. Improved Quality of Life: Vestibular disorders can be debilitating, affecting mobility, safety, and overall well-being. By undergoing vestibular testing, patients can access the necessary treatments and therapies to regain their balance and alleviate dizziness or vertigo.

 

Our Vestibular Testing Services:

We offer a comprehensive range of vestibular testing services, performed by experienced healthcare professionals and technicians. Our services include:

  1. Electronystagmography (ENG): ENG is a test that monitors eye movement while the patient is exposed to specific stimuli, such as warm and cold air or positional changes. It helps diagnose disorders like BPPV, labyrinthitis, and other vestibular problems.

  2. Videonystagmography (VNG): VNG is a more advanced version of ENG, incorporating video recording for precise evaluation of eye movements. It is particularly effective in diagnosing complex vestibular issues.

  3. Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMP): VEMP testing evaluates the function of the otolith organs and helps diagnose conditions like Meniere's disease and superior canal dehiscence.

  4. Video Head Impulse Test (vHIT): vHIT assesses the high-frequency function of the vestibular system, providing valuable information for diagnosing vestibular neuritis and other conditions.
