At Medikeri’s Super Speciality ENT Centre, our Vestibular/Balance Clinic offers specialized care for individuals experiencing vertigo, dizziness, imbalance, and other vestibular-related disorders. Our expert team of ENT specialists, audiologists, and vestibular therapists collaborates to provide accurate diagnosis and comprehensive treatment aimed at restoring balance, stability, and overall quality of life.

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

The Vestibular/Balance Clinic addresses a range of conditions such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), vestibular neuritis, Meniere’s disease, labyrinthitis, and vestibular migraine. These disorders can affect one’s equilibrium, coordination, and spatial orientation. Our clinic combines clinical expertise with advanced technology to identify the underlying causes and provide individualized care plans, including medical therapy, repositioning maneuvers, and vestibular rehabilitation.

DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENT

Each patient undergoes a thorough diagnostic evaluation which may include a detailed medical history, physical examination, and specialized vestibular tests. Diagnostic tools such as videonystagmography (VNG), vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP), electrocochleography (ECoG), and posturography help assess inner ear and balance function to pinpoint the exact source of symptoms.

TREATMENT MODALITIES

Treatment strategies are customized based on diagnosis and severity. For BPPV, repositioning maneuvers like the Epley or Semont techniques are performed. Inflammatory conditions such as vestibular neuritis are managed with medications and supportive therapy. Meniere’s disease may require dietary modifications, medications, or intratympanic injections. Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) is often prescribed to improve balance, coordination, and reduce the risk of falls.

REHABILITATION APPROACHES

Vestibular rehabilitation is a key component of recovery, especially for chronic or recurrent conditions. It involves a personalized exercise program designed to retrain the brain to compensate for inner ear dysfunction. Therapy focuses on gaze stabilization, balance training, and habituation exercises to reduce symptoms and improve functional mobility.

PATIENT MONITORING & FOLLOW-UP

Patients are closely monitored throughout their treatment journey with regular follow-ups to assess progress and make necessary adjustments. Education on lifestyle modifications, home-based exercises, and strategies to prevent recurrence are also provided to ensure long-term success.

CONCLUSION

At Medikeri’s Super Speciality ENT Centre, our Vestibular/Balance Clinic is committed to delivering expert, compassionate care for patients struggling with balance disorders. Through a combination of advanced diagnostics, individualized therapies, and continuous support, we aim to restore mobility, confidence, and an improved quality of life.
