Recording the eyes in the dark using infrared goggles is the only way to analyze where the dizziness or vertigo is coming from.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
What is the vestibular system?
The vestibular system lives inside your inner ear and connects to the brain, giving people a sense of equilibrium, and detects when there is movement of the head.
Certain conditions can lead to problems with the vestibular system which can lead to feelings of dysequilibrium, vertigo (spinning), dizziness, and balance problems.
Vestibular rehabilitation is the field of healthcare designed to provide therapies for patients who suffer from symptoms related to vestibular dysfunction.
Video Nystagmography
“The eyes dont lie”
When dizziness or vertigo occur, the eyes may move unintentionally when vision is denied. This is called nystagmus, and helps us determine where in the vestibular system the problem is.
Balance Assessment
Balance tracings also help us determine where the problems are.
We have 3 “spatial awareness” systems which tell us where we are in relation to everything else around us, and give us our sense of balance. These systems are the vestibular system, vision, and proprioception (proprioception is the sense of joint position and muscle length).
Balance tracings help to tell us which of these 3 systems is most compromised.
Advanced technology
Our office utilizes the Natus ICS Impulse goggles to analyze eye movements and collect the most data. Not knowing is guessing, and data is knowing!
Data is knowing!
We collect the most data to determine the best treatments for your symptoms
