Patient Info

Dizziness is a common complaint among individuals across all age groups, but the incidence of dizziness increases as individuals age. Although there are many common causes for dizziness and vertigo, vestibular disorders account for about one-third of the vertigo problems reported.

Particularly with the elderly, there are often incidental deaths from falls. Dizziness can make it difficult to dress, bathe, eat, get in and out of bed, use the toilet and walk around inside the home. 11.5% of people who are dizzy have chronic problems. 33. 4% of people who are dizzy have chronic balance problems. People experiencing vestibular dysfunctions have eight times the risk of falling versus people who don't have them.
