About this service

Care that starts with your goals.

Dizziness can have several causes, so treatment starts with a careful assessment. Your visit may include positional testing, eye-movement screening, balance and walking tasks, neck screening and an examination of how symptoms respond to head movement.

Treatment is matched to the findings. BPPV may respond to a canalith repositioning manoeuvre, while vestibular hypofunction or motion sensitivity may require gaze-stability, habituation and balance exercises.
