Patients with acute or chronic vertigo are treated and managed during this specialty consultation. Patients occasionally also have related complaints such as balance disorders, an unsteady gait or a coordination disorder. Additional vertigo testing is often required to record the precise nature of the symptoms.
When investigating vertigo, it is sometimes necessary to induce the vertigo symptoms in order to find out more about the cause. This is usually harmless, but it may feel uncomfortable for some people.
In addition to medications, vertigo can be treated with physical-medical treatments (e.g., positioning training, physiotherapy), talking therapies or, in rare cases, surgical treatment.
