Getting your Balance Back

If you’ve noticed that you are unsteady on your feet, or feel off-balance, it could be related to a problem in your ears. The inner ear has organs in it that are an important part of giving you balance. Our Ear, Nose and Throat Doctors have been trained to help those with vertigo or balance issues.

Finding the cause of a balance disorder requires a physical examination by an otolaryngologist and often a series of tests. It could be an ear infection causing the problem, a stroke, or perhaps multiple sclerosis or Meniere’s disease. You may need to practice balance exercises, change your dietary habits or avoid nicotine.
