Comprehensive neurological evaluation and personalized treatment for vertigo, dizziness, balance problems, and related symptoms to identify the underlying cause and support better daily functioning.
Vertigo is the sensation that you or your surroundings are spinning, moving, or rotating when there is no actual movement. It is different from general lightheadedness and may occur with imbalance, nausea, vomiting, or difficulty walking.
Vertigo can have several causes, including benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), vestibular neuritis, Meniere’s disease, migraine, medication effects, and other balance or neurological conditions. Identifying the underlying cause through a proper evaluation helps guide appropriate treatment.
Vertigo can affect balance, movement, vision, and daily activities. Symptoms may occur briefly or persist for longer periods depending on the underlying cause.
A sudden feeling that you or your surroundings are spinning, moving, tilting, or rotating may occur during an episode of vertigo.
Vertigo may cause unsteadiness or difficulty maintaining balance, particularly while standing, walking, or changing position.
Strong episodes of vertigo can affect the balance system and trigger nausea, stomach discomfort, or vomiting during an attack.
Certain head movements, such as turning in bed, looking up, bending down, or sitting up, may trigger or worsen vertigo.
Some people may experience blurred vision, difficulty focusing, or unusual eye movements during episodes of vertigo and dizziness.
A feeling of lightheadedness, floating, wobbliness, or difficulty walking may accompany vertigo or other balance-related conditions.

The neurologist reviews when the vertigo began, how long episodes last, possible triggers, head movements, associated symptoms, medications, and any previous medical conditions.
The examination assesses eye movements, coordination, walking, balance, reflexes, and other neurological functions to identify patterns that may indicate the underlying cause
Depending on the symptoms, positional tests, eye movement or vestibular testing, hearing assessment, blood tests, MRI, or CT scans may be recommended.
The neurologist combines the history, examination, and investigation results to identify the likely cause of vertigo and develop an individualized treatment and follow-up plan.
For BPPV, specific head-positioning procedures can help move displaced inner-ear particles and reduce position-related episodes of vertigo.
Depending on the cause, medicines may be prescribed to relieve vertigo, nausea, or symptoms associated with specific underlying conditions.
Balance exercises and vestibular rehabilitation can help the brain adapt to balance problems and improve stability during everyday movement.
Moving carefully, identifying triggers, maintaining safe surroundings, and following medical advice can help reduce symptoms and prevent falls or injuries.
When vertigo is related to migraine, inner-ear disease, medication, or another condition, treatment may focus on managing the underlying cause.

Repeated, sudden, severe, or unexplained vertigo should be evaluated, particularly when it affects walking, daily activities, or occurs with other neurological symptoms.
✓ Recurrent or Persistent Vertigo.
✓ Severe or Sudden Vertigo.
✓ Difficulty Walking or Maintaining Balance.
✓ Changes in Vision or Hearing.
✓ Weakness, Numbness or Speech Problems.
✓ Severe Headache or Confusion.
Vertigo is a sensation of spinning or movement involving you or your surroundings. It is different from general lightheadedness and is often related to problems affecting the balance system.
Common symptoms include a spinning sensation, dizziness, loss of balance, nausea, vomiting, difficulty walking, and sensitivity to certain head movements. Some people may also experience visual or hearing changes.
Vertigo can result from conditions such as BPPV, vestibular neuritis, labyrinthitis, Ménière’s disease, migraine, medication effects, or other neurological and medical conditions.
Diagnosis begins with a detailed history and physical or neurological examination. Depending on the symptoms, positional tests, balance or eye-movement testing, hearing assessment, blood tests, MRI, or CT may be recommended.
Yes. Treatment depends on the cause and may include repositioning procedures, medicines, vestibular rehabilitation, lifestyle measures, or treatment of an underlying condition.
Yes. BPPV can often be treated with canalith repositioning procedures, which use controlled head movements to move displaced particles within the inner ear.
Consider neurological evaluation when vertigo is recurrent, persistent, unexplained, or associated with balance problems, headaches, visual changes, weakness, numbness, speech difficulties, or other neurological symptoms.
A consultation provides an opportunity to assess the pattern, triggers, and associated symptoms of vertigo and identify possible neurological or other causes. Based on the findings, appropriate investigations, treatment, and follow-up can be discussed.
Dedicated to providing expert neurological diagnosis, compassionate patient care, and advanced treatment for a wide range of neurological disorders.
