Feeling dizzy, unsteady, lightheaded, or as if the surroundings are spinning can be frightening and disruptive. Balance disorders can affect daily activities, walking confidence, work performance, sleep, and overall quality of life. At ENTaura, we provide a structured and comprehensive approach to evaluating and managing vertigo and balance-related conditions using detailed clinical assessment and modern diagnostic techniques.

Our goal is not just symptom control — but identifying the actual cause of dizziness and guiding patients toward accurate treatment and long-term recovery.

Vertigo is a sensation of movement when no actual movement is occurring. Patients commonly describe it as:

Spinning sensation
Tilting or swaying feeling
Floating sensation
Sudden imbalance
Feeling pulled to one side
Motion sensitivity
Unsteadiness while walking

Vertigo itself is not a disease — it is a symptom that may arise from problems involving the inner ear balance system, nerves, brain, migraine disorders, circulation, vision, or other medical conditions.

What is Vertigo?

Why Accurate Diagnosis is Important

Many patients use the term “vertigo” for all types of dizziness, but the underlying causes can be very different. Correct diagnosis is essential because treatment depends entirely on identifying the specific disorder.
A detailed vertigo evaluation helps determine:

Whether the cause is inner ear related
Whether hearing is involved
Whether symptoms suggest migraine-associated dizziness
Whether further neurological evaluation is needed
Which treatment approach is most suitable

Conditions We Treat

BPPV

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo, the most common cause of vertigo due to inner ear crystals.

Vestibular Neuritis

Inflammation of the vestibular nerve, often following a viral infection, causing sudden severe dizziness.

Ménière’s Disease

A chronic inner ear disorder that affects hearing and balance, often with tinnitus and fullness.

Migraine Vertigo

Vestibular migraines where dizziness is a primary symptom, with or without a headache.

Chronic Imbalance

Persistent feelings of unsteadiness or disequilibrium that affect daily mobility.

Post-Traumatic Vertigo

Dizziness or balance issues developing after a head or neck injury.

Age-Related Balance

Multi-sensory decline requiring specialized evaluation to prevent falls and improve confidence.

ENT-Related Causes

Vertigo stemming from other ear-related issues like ear infections or structural problems.

Evaluation Process

A systematic and thorough approach to understanding your balance and identifying the root cause of dizziness.

Patient History & Symptom Review

We begin by listening to your specific experience, triggers, and the duration of your dizziness episodes.

Positional & Physical Tests

We perform specific maneuvers to check for involuntary eye movements that signal inner ear issues.

Imaging & Diagnostic Support

When necessary, MRI, CT scans, or blood tests are ordered to rule out other medical causes.

ENT & Neurological Exam

A detailed physical assessment of the ears, throat, and balance-related nerve functions.

Hearing & Balance Testing

Advanced audiometry and vestibular testing to map the function of your balance organs.

Explanation & Treatment Plan

A clear explanation of your diagnosis and the development of a personalized care strategy.

Treatments & Rehabilitation

Canalith Repositioning Maneuvers

Specialized physical movements, such as the Epley maneuver, designed to relocate displaced calcium crystals in the inner ear. These procedures provide immediate and effective relief for patients suffering from BPPV.

Medicines

Pharmacological management aimed at suppressing vestibular symptoms, reducing inner ear fluid pressure in Ménière’s disease, or managing migraine-associated vertigo to improve daily functioning and quality of life.

Vestibular Rehabilitation Exercises

A customized exercise-based program designed to promote central nervous system compensation for inner ear deficits. These exercises improve balance, reduce dizziness-related problems, and enhance overall stability.

Lifestyle & Trigger Management

Personalized guidance on dietary modifications, hydration, sleep hygiene, and stress reduction. Identifying and avoiding environmental or nutritional triggers is crucial for preventing recurring vestibular episodes.

Team-Based Care

A collaborative approach involving ENT specialists, neurologists, and physical therapists for complex cases. We ensure a seamless care pathway that addresses all aspects of your balance and vestibular health.

Preparation & Special Care

Children (Pediatric Balance Care)

Visit Preparation & Recovery

Wear comfortable, loose clothing and flat shoes.
Avoid heavy meals and caffeine 4 hours before testing.
Bring a complete list of your current medications.
Arrange for a companion to drive you home if needed.
Recovery typically involves gentle movement; we will provide a personalized post-visit plan.

Dizziness and balance issues in children are often overlooked but can significantly affect learning and development. We provide child-friendly vestibular assessments to ensure your child feels safe and understood.

Older Adults & Fall Prevention

Age-related changes in the balance system increases the risk of falls. Our specialized care focuses on strengthening and coordination to improve stability and confidence in daily activities.
