Vertigo Assessment

At Swasthya Vertigo Centre, we provide advanced vertigo assessments using cutting-edge diagnostics like VNG, VEMPs, and Caloric Testing to identify the causes of dizziness and imbalance, helping patients restore stability and confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during a vertigo assessment?

We start with a detailed health history and symptom review, then perform balance tests like videonystagmography (VNG) to track eye movements, posturography to assess sway, and positional maneuvers (e.g., Dix–Hallpike) to pinpoint inner-ear issues. The entire process takes about 60–90 minutes, and we explain each step so you feel comfortable and informed

Do I need to fast or avoid medications before my appointment?

No fasting is required, but please avoid heavy meals immediately beforehand, and let us know about any vestibular-suppressant medications (like meclizine) you’re taking—they can affect test accuracy. We’ll advice you if a brief medication pause is needed, in collaboration with your prescribing doctor.

Is the testing uncomfortable or risky?

Tests are non-invasive and generally well-tolerated. Some maneuvers can provoke dizziness, but we perform them under careful monitoring in a safe environment. If you feel too dizzy, we pause or modify the test. Our priority is your comfort and safety.

How quickly will I get my results?

We review raw data immediately after testing and interpret findings within 24 hours. You’ll receive a clear report explaining whether your vertigo stems from benign positional vertigo, vestibular neuritis, Menière’s disease, or another cause—along with personalized next-step recommendations.

Can you treat my vertigo here, or do you refer out?

We offer in-office vestibular rehabilitation—customized exercises to improve balance and reduce dizziness symptoms. For conditions requiring medical or surgical management (like Menière’s), we coordinate referrals to trusted ENT or neurologist partners, ensuring seamless, multidisciplinary care.

How many sessions of vestibular rehab are needed?

Most people benefit from 10-12 weekly sessions of vestibular exercises, with daily home practice. Later, we transition you to a maintenance program—periodic check-ins to tweak exercises and ensure lasting balance control.
