VERTIGO AND IMBALANCE

If you suffer from vertigo and imbalance we can offer peripheral-vestibular testing and central-vestibular testing as methods of examination. Methods of treatment are conservative therapies or surgical therapies.

PERIPHERAL-VESTIBULAR TEST PROCEDURES

• Spontaneous, provoked and positional nystagmus
• Three-dimensional automatic analysis of eye movements
• Thermal excitability test
• Diagnostics of otolith function (functional tests of utricle and saccule, vestibularly evoked myogene potentials)
• Neck turning test

CENTRAL-VESTIBULAR TEST PROCEDURES

• Visual pursuit, saccadic and optokinetic testing
• Fixation suppression

CONSERVATIVE THERAPY

• Epley manoeuvre in the case of different kinds of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo
• Early administration of circulation-enhancing, anti-inflammatory and anti-oedematous substances
• Early vestibular rehabilitation
• Ambulant balance training
• Rehabilitation in the case of age-related imbalance

• Medication therapy

SURGICAL THERAPY

• Surgical procedures in the case of Meniere’s Syndrome
• Occlusion of the semicircular canal in the case of persisting benign positional vertigo
• Tympanotomy and occlusion of the window of the inner ear
