Evaluation and Management of Dizziness and Vestibular Disorders
Vertigo is a sensation of feeling off-balance or spinning, often triggered by moving the head. It can arise from the inner ear (peripheral vertigo) or brain balance centers (central vertigo). A thorough neurological evaluation identifies the precise source and treatment approach.
