Treatment of Dizziness and Vestibular Disorders at the Helyos Medical Center
Treatment of Dizziness and Vestibular Disorders at the Helyos Medical Center
ur medical center specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of vestibular disorders associated with inner ear pathology, such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).
We follow modern evidence-based approaches and develop individualized treatment strategies for each patient.
Why Does Dizziness Occur?
Dizziness may occur due to damage to brain structures, but much more often it is caused by disorders of the inner ear and the vestibular nerve.
The most common causes related to the inner ear include:
- benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV);
- vestibular neuritis;
- Ménière’s disease.
In such conditions, a medical vestibular examination is crucial, as instrumental diagnostic methods often have limited informative value.
When Should You See a Doctor?
An urgent consultation with a specialist is recommended as soon as possible if you experience dizziness on its own or dizziness accompanied by nausea, vomiting, ringing in the ears, or visual disturbances.
Timely diagnosis not only helps reduce symptoms but also prevents the condition from becoming chronic, when dizziness and instability may persist for years.
How Is the Diagnosis Performed?
The medical center applies a step-by-step comprehensive approach:
- medical, therapeutic, and neurological examination;
- specialized assessment of the vestibular system (functional and positional tests, evaluation of gait and balance);
- instrumental studies — when indicated.
Before starting rehabilitation, we обязательно exclude potentially dangerous causes of dizziness.
The goal of diagnosis is to accurately identify the cause of the disorder and select treatment aimed not only at relieving symptoms but also at addressing the underlying mechanism of the disease.
Modern Treatment Methods
Treatment strategies are selected individually and may include:
Medication Therapy
Used to reduce dizziness and nausea, stabilize vestibular function, and manage associated symptoms.
Therapeutic Positional Maneuvers
Special maneuvers performed during the consultation.
They are particularly effective for benign positional vertigo.
In many cases, significant improvement occurs already at the first visit.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Individually tailored exercises to train balance, stabilize gaze, and promote adaptation and compensation of impaired functions.
This is a key method for long-term recovery and prevention of chronic dizziness.
