For Patients
Compassionate, evidence-based care for dizziness and balance disorders.
Dizziness can be frightening and isolating. Whether you're experiencing vertigo, balance problems, persistent unsteadiness, or motion sickness, we understand how these symptoms can affect your everyday life and wellbeing. Our expert vestibular physicians provide comprehensive assessment, diagnosis, and management tailored to your needs. We combine the latest diagnostic technology with individualised management strategies to help you regain stability, confidence, and quality of life.
Conditions We Treat
We diagnose and manage a wide range of vestibular and balance disorders across all age groups. Below is a snapshot of conditions we typically manage in a 6-month period, based on our clinical audit data.
Clinical Audit: Conditions Managed Over 6 Months
Most Common Diagnoses
- Vestibular Migraine (Definite) – A type of migraine that causes episodes of vertigo or dizziness
- Vestibular Migraine (Probable) – Migraine-related dizziness that meets most but not all criteria for a definite diagnosis
- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) – Brief episodes of vertigo triggered by specific head movements
Moderately Common Diagnoses
- Ménière's Disease (Definite) – An inner ear disorder causing vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus
- Postural Hypotension – A drop in blood pressure upon standing, leading to dizziness
- Other Neurological Diseases – Conditions like Parkinson's Disease, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, and Multiple System Atrophy affecting balance
- Peripheral Neuropathy – Nerve conditions in the limbs that impair gait and balance
- Presbystasis (Age-Related Loss of Balance) – Balance problems due to ageing, as the inner ear, eyes and limb sensors all decline
- Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD) – Chronic dizziness often triggered by visual stimuli or motion
- Undifferentiated Diagnosis – Dizziness that doesn't fit into a specific category
- Paediatric Migraine Syndrome Including Vestibular Migraine – Migraine-related dizziness in children
- Non-Specific Dizziness – Dizziness linked to factors like insomnia, stress, anxiety, or caffeine
- Vestibular Paroxysmia – Short, repeated attacks of dizziness caused by irritation of the balance and hearing nerve
- Central Vestibular Pathology – Balance issues caused by problems in the brain or brainstem
Less Common Diagnoses
- Bilateral Vestibulopathy – Loss of balance function in both inner ears
- Mal de Débarquement Syndrome – Persistent sensation of rocking or swaying, often after travel
- Central Positional Vertigo – Dizziness related to central nervous system disorders, triggered by head movements
- Other Non-Acute Vestibular Dysfunction – Long-standing balance disorders that are not sudden or severe
- Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) – A condition causing dizziness upon standing, especially in young people
- Post-Concussion Related Dizziness – Dizziness that persists after a head injury
- Anxiety Disorder Affecting Balance – Balance issues related to anxiety or psychological health
- Superior Vestibular Neuritis – Sudden severe dizziness due to inflammation of the upper part of the balance nerve
- Ménière's Disease (Probable) – Symptoms suggest Ménière's disease but do not fulfil all criteria
- Acute Vestibulo-Cochlear Syndrome – Sudden onset of dizziness with hearing loss
- Inferior Vestibular Neuritis – Inflammation of the lower part of the balance nerve, causing dizziness
- Cervicogenic Dizziness or Vertigo – Dizziness linked to neck problems
- Anxiety Disorder Presenting as Dizziness – Dizziness that appears mainly as a symptom of anxiety
- Episodic Vertigo without Auditory Symptoms – Spells of dizziness with no hearing changes
- Pan-Vestibular Neuritis – Widespread inflammation affecting the entire inner ear on one side
