So what happens when balance problems occur?

 

Most of the time, we don’t think about balance, and its importance — unless we notice a problem: dizziness, vertigo (spinning sensation), staggering, falling, faintness, confusion or blurred vision. It begins to disrupt your day-to-day activity.

 

Do I need to take action?

Yes, a balance problem can seriously impact your health and livelihood.

 

Balance disorders can:

-Increase risk for falls

-Disrupt normal sleep patterns

-Shorten attention spans

-Create difficulty with simple tasks

-Cause excessive fatigue

 

My specialty is treating balance disorders. I work with each of my patients to develop a personalized plan to get them back on their feet, feeling balanced and taking control of their health.
