Is there help available for balance problems or dizziness?
Yes! Most causes of dizziness can be managed. However, proper evaluation and diagnosis is required prior to determining the best treatment plan. Patients sometimes require medical treatment with medication or surgery and others require physical therapy to re-learn balance techniques. However, patients with benign positional paroxysmal vertigo (BPPV) may only require physical manipulation by a physician or audiologist who specializes in vestibular management. Your audiologist and physician will together decide which methods might be best for your specific needs.
