OUR VERTIGO CLINIC
Diagnostic Services: are designed to establish the origin and the cause of the vertigo/dizziness problem.
Video Nystagmo Graphy replaces the older technology known as ENG-Electro Nystagmo Graphy as a state-of-the-art technique to perform vestibular assessment.
Because of the flexibility of the equipment and the software that processes the results measured during the tests, the assessment protocol can easily be adapted and tailored to each individual according to his or her initial complaints as the procedure unfolds. The addition of CDVAT and SOP tests provides the referring physician with more comprehensive information in order to allow him to properly diagnose the underlying cause of the ailment.
Rehabilitation Services: are designed to eliminate or significantly reduce the associated stress, annoyance and anxiety symptoms accompanying the problem. Individuals whose symptoms are induced or exacerbated by head movements or by a busy visual environment are the best candidates for improving their condition.
The therapy will focus first on helping to resolve the most challenging situations that the person does encounter in their daily activities and through a custom made program will aim at reducing the symptoms of vertigo or dizziness and whenever possible, at eliminating them. Success rate of this type of custom tailored rehabilitation therapy has an 85% proven track record. For the remaining 15%, it typically greatly improves their quality of life and empowers them in confronting their symptoms.
